big man with red beard, write much word on think rock.
This is, in ways, the apex of the Quick Start series, and I am extremely pleased that it's finished. I had a blast making it.
As of late, I have been having a hard time completing the projects I have started. Many of you are familiar with the feeling. That persistent, progress paralyzing panic that comes with the anxiety of having to work on something that may fail. Sometimes it helps me to think back on times where I had a goal in mind for a project and executed it to its end. This was one of those.
It was my second solo Global Game Jam, third overall. The theme that year was waves and somehow my brain cell fixated on waves of grocery items coming down the conveyor belt at a grocery store. I ran with the idea, hooked up an inverse kinematic script for an arm and made the aim of the game to scan groceries and chuck them into a basket for points. The cashier had to be an elderly woman named Flo, as is tradition.
The executable available on this page might still work (Windows only), but attached is a video of the game in action.
People I have interacted with in the past still bring up this game from time to time. Hearing them talk about it usually gives me enough warm and fuzzies to carry on with my current projects in hope that, one day, those will be the projects people ask me about in passing.
