scaling a mountain using the second amendment
It's that time of year again, this time we made scaling a mountain using the second amendment for GMTK Game Jam 2024 over this past weekend. The theme was "built to scale", so we made a game where you're a paraplegic in a wheelchair that has to climb an American themed mountain in search for free healthcare, but you can only move using the recoil of a shotgun. It's inspired by games like Getting Over It. The artists and musicians worked really hard on it, so feel free to check it out on Newgrounds here.
Keep in mind, it is a rage game haha (great choice in making your game jam entry a rage game, me). Hopefully Newgrounds enjoys this one. There are leaderboards and medals if you're into that sort of stuff!
Had a really fun time making this one even if it isn't for everyone. I've been on a bunch of roadtrips this past year, and I thought to myself, why not use the photos I took in one of my games? My main art friend, Popper, was also pretty busy that weekend so I had to get creative with the art direction. All the photos in the game were from me and my friends (and like one public domain image but shhhh....).
Other Updates and Such
Been adjusting to the 9-5 worklife and such, so a bit more time to work on games now. Fish game is still in the works along with a couple more game ideas coming to fruition. Here's some concept art for the aforementioned fish game:
Big things coming soon I hope!!
