#GoedWare Game Jam 13 #Devlog #Breaking The Loop
🖥️ Today, I focused on creating a title screen and a startup sequence inspired by old computer boot-ups, displaying informative text at launch. I thought it would be a good place to include the credits and a reference to the game jam it's participating in.
💾 Sticking to the HUD’s aesthetic, I recreated the look of phosphor monitors with scanlines and an exaggerated gloom effect, really pushing the retro feel. To achieve this, I reused a CRT shader from previous projects, making a big visual improvement with little effort. For a game jam project, it already feels quite polished.
🎵 In the afternoon, I caught up with Pol about the music composition. This style isn’t really his favorite, so he’s struggling a bit, but we already have one solid track, and I’m happy with it so far. We also took a break from development to play some matches on Fightcade. 🕹️
⚙️ I still need to fix a few minor issues caused by the shader, but nothing major. Tomorrow, we keep going.
