La Révolution Francheese: Bonamouse

Bonjour, mes soldats!

Our great General, Napoleon Bonamouse is mounting his revolutionary forces to defend the great cheese fortress from the invading rat forces. The Rat King, Louis the Cheese Snatcher is willing to sacrifice his forcess into our defenses.

As long as the General can muster new forces to keep the defense alive, we will prevail!

Pour la gloire et l’honneur, en avant, mes braves!

The theme really kicked our asses, we brainstormed for about 2-3 hours before we started working on the idea, with day one going mostly towards systems and concept art. Btw, the entire idea was cemented by this video:

48 hours in, we still didn't have a playable prototype, but we told ourselves we'll have it by mid-day 3. Of course, we had something by mid-day 3, but as with all crunch time, bugs started appearing here and there.

We fell in and out of love with Godot, but eventually, we managed to have the build in the last minutes of the Jam (with some game breaking issues when changing scenes, but we managed to patch those also. We still have some nasty bugs, but hopefully we'll be able to fix them between work calls.

Thanks to everyone in the team who worked their asses off, with an average of about 10 hours of sleep per person during the 72 hours of the jam.

Thank you LD56!
