So It Begins

Global Game Jam 2024 kicked off today at jam site in Skövde and, following a productive brainstorm session, a game is now in the making!

Project Overview:

Bubble Bath Royale is a 3D physics-based survival simulation game where the player must navigate a bubble bath and survive its treacherous waters.

Core Concept:

Our core concept revolves around everyone’s favorite bath toy - the rubber ducky - as it tries to survive the challenges of a child’s whim. We’re currently focusing on one objective for the player - to survive - but we’re hoping to integrate two more game modes: Last Man Standing & Obstacle Course.

Development Process:

We’ve started sketching out our initial design document, outlining the core mechanics and level structure. Our team has begun creating the 3D models of common bath objects and hazards for the player. We expect to iterate on them several times to refine their textures, lighting, and overall look. We’re planning to start building a prototype soon, focusing on basic gameplay mechanics and ensuring that the core experience is enjoyable.

Goals for 2nd Day:

• Finalize our design and create a rough prototype.
• Refine our game’s art style and implement visual assets
• Develop a functional gameplay mechanic using C# and Unity
• Start implementing sound effects, music and maybe even voice acting

Next Steps:

We’ll start working fully on the game in Unity on the 2nd day of the jam while refining the overall design as we go.

Stay tuned for more updates tomorrow!
