Game Jams
Partial Recall
TOJam 2023: We Lost CountBuilt for TOJam 2023: We Lost Count, where the theme was “You have to leave something behind” as a team of 3, with some other devs from Rivalry’s games team. In our take on the theme, you play as a robot with detachable you can place and then use from afar to solve puzzles in this Portal-esqe brain teaser.
We felt very good about the game design space this one gave us for having such simple components to work with. While the demo is only 3 short levels, this felt like it could easily expand into more and be very enjoyable!
Sensible Chess World
TOJam 2022: All Twogether NowBuilt for TOJam 2022: All Twogether Now, where the theme was “That’s not supposed to be there” as a team of 4. We took something familiar and mixed in modern game mechanics — “sensible” updates to a classic game.
At a game jam, the biggest win is making a 5-minute gameplay experience that surprises and delights, and this game was a riot to build and to have other jammers play. I’m also impressed we managed to jam together a decent interpretation of chess rules so quickly, nevermind battle royale mode!
