GameJam

I've teamed up Jadien, Jazz, & Jasper to work on this GameJam entry. I'm very proud of VaCute & the team. Everyone contributated wonderful work & I think it payed off in the end.

What's interesting about this project is its movement controls. Usually Rpg maker games tend to feel very constricted by the grid system, but I've coded some interesting Acceleration & Braking features that really give a lot of life to the game's Roomba-like experience. I also had the pleasure of integrating Jazz's Vacuum sound effects dynamically, making the pitch of the vacuum match the speed of the VaCute. Jazz's Music really supports the laid back tone of the game along with it's horror bits. Jaiden did some wonderful character design & facesets. She also worked on Mapping which really made each room pop. This really compliments Jasper's bubbly tileset which was drawn in a very interesting color palette. I love the round feel of his tileset.

All in all, I love my experience!
Hope you enjoy the game!
