My first Game Jam, and my first game--a minimalist puzzle game _very very very_ loosely inspired by the layers within deep neural networks. It's incredibly short, but it was a fun experience!
My log and reflections from LD57 are now live on my site: https://www.caer.cc/logs/ldjam-57/. Thank you all for the amazing feedback! :blush:
- The entire game is written in Rust using a 2.5D game engine I'm making myself (https://gitlab.com/caer/layered), building off of work done by Macroquad (https://macroquad.rs).
- Levels are built with pixel art (https://gitlab.com/caer/layered/-/blob/main/assets/layer-5.png), which is parsed at run-time (https://gitlab.com/caer/layered/-/blame/main/src/tile.rs#L378) into a level based on which pixels are colored (and how).
- All the non-sound assets and art are my own, drawing heavily from my personal brand (https://www.caer.cc).
- The music is by MooMarMouse (https://moomarmouse.itch.io/sweet-little-ambiance) on Itch.io.
- The sound effects are by JDWasabi (https://jdwasabi.itch.io/8-bit-16-bit-sound-effects-pack) on Itch.io.
