I did a game jam! This video showcases my entry, A Gnormal Journey, for Acerola Jam 0. It was a competition where we had 2 weeks to make a game based on the theme: “Aberration”. I started with a multiplayer idea but the game ended up evolving into something completely different. I go into quite a bit of technical detail too, so I hope someone out there learns something.
Huge thank you to Acerola and the judges for organising this amazing event!
And shoutout to my brother & my partner for playtesting

I also tried using Motion Canvas for some of the animations in this video - it is one of the most incredible tools I have ever had the pleasure of using.
PS This video is so late, I originally wasn’t planning to make it…and then it took me like 3x longer to make than the actual game itself rip 🫠
PPS Apparently the Undertale synth isn't copyrighted, but better safe than sorry and I probably would not have used it anyway
