About

Hi there,

this is the submission for Trijam 123  with the theme "hide or get caught". In three hours, I created a mini game where you play "Whaley" - a kind but very hungry whale. Go out and collect  as much tasty fish as you can - but be careful! Avoid the two watchtowers that are trying to spot Whaley and shoot him! (He kind of got a bad reputation as he ate all the fish last year, leading to angry fishermen and a desperate local government which lost a lot of fish-related revenue last year).

WASD to move to fish; avoid lighttowers by hiding behind rocks; fish disappears after 12s; no winning condition - just eat all you can :)

All assets (code, art and music) are handcrafted by myself within the three hour period.

Time needed: 

  • Art: 1.5 hrs (hand drawn, scanned, imported)
  • Coding/Unity: 1.25 hrs (movement script, detection beam, fish spawner, menu)
  • Music: 0.25 hrs (google music lab - no time for proper composing)

I think this might be my best Trijam submission sofar; it looks reasonably polished, has a bit more gameplay than usually and has a semi-cute art style (I used graphite to make the drawing, scanned it and added a bit of grey coloring for the watch towers).

I got inspired to do a bit of black-and-white art by this nice farily unknown channel: 

How to turn drawings into game art

I want to point out that I finally bothered to bring my menu to life; a simple mouse over hover on the whale and the buttons actually improved the feeling alot :)
