Day 3 of Mega Jam


As I have full time job I will have less time in a day to complete the game, so this week will be super stressful.  I got a few messages of support and some comments with feedback, which are super useful, thanks to all who reaches out.

The original idea was that Santa's' Elves worked all year to make all the toys for kids and all Santa have to do now is to deliver Christmas Spirit to remote town in the mountains - Alpon.

But after reviewing this idea I came up with something different. Opening Cutscene shows that our little Elf has just finished packing last present for Santa. He breathed a sigh of relief and looked out of the window. I don't think that I will be able to complete this cutscene due to reasons in the first paragraph, but what he saw is that Santa is still sleeping and clocks are almost at 12! So he decided to push himself forward a bit and try to complete the delivery mission on his own with the help of 2 not-Santas reindeers - Rush and Dash (not Dasher, his child maybe?).

That is how I've implemented Jams theme - "It's been a long time" = we worked all year, "but we're not done yet" - there's the last thing we have to do.

Today I've added winning screen, made LOTS of changes in controlls, specially, reworked Dash move (sliding on ground on L Shift) and added Slow Down input as was reccomended in the comment section (Space or A on controller).

Started working on another Challenge. The Baddies! Those little corrupted mosters are trying to steal Presents for themselves. Why? Where did they came from? Where do they go? We don't know, but it has to stop!


Actually those guys just escaped from some old videogame that you've left unfinished. Remember? You got a new console that year.

Could't sleep with unfinidhed work, so... Finished Baddies, from now on you have to Bash into them (Hold L Shift or X button on controller)

Reduced package size to 150Mb, don't thinks that it's possible to shrink it even furthure, so no Tiny Award nomination for me :c

I'll wrap up this day. I guess I have to work on location and meshes mostly from now on.

See ya!

Get Rush & Dash
