Game Jam Postmortem

in all honesty I think I was over-ambitious with this game

I did at the very least get most of the game mechanics in though

the only game mechanic I didn't add was the turn-based battles

for those concerned about the dark themes. all temporal light games have dark themes but some more direct than others.

what went wrong I likely put too much time in the pseudo 3d section--that most never seem to access. (Accessed by interacting with the tv in the first room you have control and selecting to continue watching)

is this game political? not really but politics is there as this game explains what lead to the events of the hyperion war. to be more specific how most of the world nations are not present during the hyperion war. think of it more like a pre-apocalyptic type of game.

what went right? this did seem to get people to play other games in the series.

Q + A I was asked

• is the bias in the game same as the bias in others? hyperion war definitely. dark foundation? :>
• does glacia die? yes and no. she is in future games most notably in jem of twilight, but she isn't in the sane form in fact if you played the game for longer than 10 minutes you likely seen her in fact likely multiple times. she might of gone by another name
• how much longer is this game? it ends near the middle of act 1. how that is for you to find out
• is the events in that game happening to just the US? no it is closer to a worldwide event but NEO's attack on the US is more public. in fact, by the events of the game most of the countries has fallen or mostly taken over silently
• is Leo priderock incompetent? No but mostly got screwed over by the prior president
• does kit highclaw survive the hyperion war I don't see them in the list of ghost characters in jem's era? yes in fact she assisted the family that later became the lightbringers. ghost characters are still in a semi-living state due to High levels of radioactive material in their bloodstream at time of their death.
• what is your policy on the font license? so long as you credit me for using it I am fine with anyone using it. in fact, if you are using it for non-commercial mods and fan-games I recommend using it as this is what partially made for. I even provided a ttf file on the github so non-GB studio games can use it.
• will there be a prequel to this game? likely not or at least it won't use the temporal light name. I won't say it is impossible.
• I noticed that a lot of the player protagonists are women is this guaranteed? no, it is a honest coincidence. it mostly fallows the wielder of the temporal light spell be it past, present, or future. the only exception being peryil's game shadow flame, however she isn't the main focus of the game despite being the main player character it focuses on blight and her rebellion.
