Post-Mortem

This was our first time working with Godot, coming from Unity and Unreal Engine! Right now the game is essentially a walking simulator with a cool (but admittedly a tad jank) mech to play around with. We'd envisioned a fuel system where the player would need to exit the mech and gather fuel to continue the journey, but alas Game Jam's gonna Game Jam. (The mech still has fuel, but it'll take a long time to drain it all) Perhaps we'll revisit/finish this, I really like this character controller and enjoyed Godot and especially gdscript way more than I imagined I would. Hope you have fun playing around with it!
