UE4 Game Jam Dec '16


So I just participated in the December UE4 Game Jam, where we had three days to create a game centered around the theme "Snowball Effect". Here is a link to the submission thread, and my submission verbatim.

Slink around and swallow the green donuts while avoiding the red ones (you can only eat donuts smaller than you). You can slink up a vertical wall by successive jumping. Turning on god mode allows you to change the jelly-mass arbitrarily. Movement works for the entire range of jelly-mass, from 1 to 10000 (a few pixels to nearly the whole map). I didn't get as much done as I wanted to... I don't know if you can even call it a game since there is no win condition ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ though I think the movement is fun in and of itself. Let's just agree that you win by clearing the map of all structures. I was in a mad rush at the end of the jam. Hence the half-assed buildings and dumb falling donuts... and the lack of sound... and no hud... and no multiplayer... Alright, the game might be complete garbage, but I did have one major success, namely in making the jelly monster. I've been meaning to make an amorphous looking material effect for a long time, and I'm glad I decided to go for it this weekend. Anyways, this was my first jam and I had a helluva good time. Next month I'll be ready. Have fun playing!
