About me


This time, I wanted to challenge myself by making a game that includes a physics-based rope swing mechanic and procedural animation of limbs with inverse kinematics, both of which I haven't done before. It might not have been the best idea since I spent a significant amount of time getting these two features to work. On the other hand, I'm very proud of what I still managed to accomplish in these 72 hours. It's been a lot of fun, but also very exhausting. I hope you all enjoy my game. Looking forward to playing everyone else's entries once I got some sleep :sweat_smile:
