Dev Post Game Jam thoughts:
This game jam was a secret santa theme so I ended up getting some info about the person I was making this game for.
I ended up doing research around Doom-Like games to get a general idea for what makes these games fun. I noticed that a lot of it has to do with speed and excitement. To emulate this I made the timer also your HP.
When you kill an enemy you get 5 more seconds and when an enemy hits you, you lost 1 - 3 seconds. So this makes it a bit more of a flex if you want to try to end the level with more time. Giving 2 ways to play the game.
With that said I ended up suffering a bit from creep scope. I haven't done a 3D game in quite a while and struggled to get the movement how I wanted. I wanted to also do a resource management system where you can use your resources to build platforms and things like that. I also wanted to do some sound effects and music but wasn't able to get to these too. I hope whoever plays this prototype enjoys it!
