A lot of people enjoyed the flashlight mechanic, and I’m really happy about that especially since it wasn’t planned at all. At first, it was supposed to be a simple flaming torch, but I struggled so much to make a clean flame VFX that I switched to a flashlight… and that’s how the idea came up.
I like doing everything myself: that’s honestly what I find most interesting about taking part in a game jam. My biggest weakness and what I need to work on is pre-production: defining a clear scope that isn’t too ambitious, and sticking to my deadlines so I still have time to polish.
