Dude what an awesome game, so absolutely creative! The art is insane, the vibe, the weirdness, and it feels really polished. Gameplay with the riddle is great idea too for a short game. I'm also super impressed how you pulled many really nice assets and effects, not even counting the kick ass Godot loading screen haha.


Can I ask you guys what methods you went with? 1) It seems like you made many assets (the monster, objects, background) by cutting pieces from realistic pictures then reassembling, with probably some changes in coloring (hue?), is that correct? Really interesting technique. 2) I guess dialogic is used for the dialogue, and some  shader that shifts rgb on the monster, did i get it right haha?

Thank You!!! Glad you enjoyed our game!!! eeeee

And you did get that right, the technique is called ''photobashing''. I collected about 20 photos of pipes, old buildings, construction facilities and such, slapped them together as you guessed too. I use Krita like Photoshop, to make the color I prefer I just messed with the color curves untill I got what I wanted. 

The ''entity'' is made of octopi tentecles, same goes for eyes, there are also fish eyes too, the ''mouth'' is made of starfish, the neck of frog eggs, the  small ''tenticles'' are actually this thing called Arenicola marina, well it's a worm. The teeth are just barnacles haha. There are also some pipes sticking out of it's head!

I'm very happy you got invested in our game! It was a challange and few things were left out due to time, but I'm glad it looks the way it does! Thanks for your comment!!!

Thanks for replying on that technique, its so interesting and you master it amazingly! The entity is absolutely awesome, scary in a unique way (I could have never guessed all the marine parts haha). I made a game jam last year using some engravings of deep sea creatures, Im crazy about these little creepers which is also why I'm so fascinated by your entity.

Thanks! About 2) - you got everything right. For the shader I was going for a deepfry effect that inreases saturation (by changing colors), but also adds a bit of vignette, fake JPEG blocks and blur
