Bunnurse was our first forray into Unreal Engine together for a game jam. We were joined by Spacey3d for the first time, forming the trio later to be known as Catfrog. I challenged Bora to create an animal-crossing new horizon’s inspired “curved world” for this. We wanted to focus on a two phase gameplay experience: retrieve injured soliders from a frantic battleground; and performing mini-games to abstract the process of “healing” the soldiers. The overarching game was about balancing helping soldiers from both sides of the war, so that you weren’t perceived to take a side in the war!

The mini game element turned out to be not very well implemented. The core of the mini game was fine but it wasn’t juiced or clear for the player. One of the great part of this jam entry was the cinematic intro made by Brainoid.
