Thank you for the kind words :D I thought about manual focus too, but I think the controls are confusing enough XD, and it would add some learning curve to using the camera. For the development I used a bunch of free assets for the models (you can probably tell which are mine and which are taken), sounds and particle effects. I also scavenged some code from other projects. Other than that I guess I just decided on an idea early and locked in for the rest of the weekend.
Thanks for playing! Regarding the money pool, I tried to get the player to think about what they actually wanted instead of just getting everything. I also thought it helped the gameplay loop of order stuff -> build -> take photos -> repeat
, instead of just building all the time. Lastly I wanted the player to get a bit excited every time they could order, in case a photo would arrive (though I know that system is not working rn). But I do see where you’re coming from, maybe I should’ve increased the rate, or made it exponential so you start off poor but can splurge later.
I think this might be the funniest game of the jam. Unfortunately the progress was too slow for me to finish the game, and it got repetitive after a while. Jumping around at the speed of sound was pretty fun though, I could see someone speedrunnig this game. I also love Bee Guy, but I think he yapps a bit too much.
Wow, this might be one of my favorite games of the jam, definitely out of the ones I’ve played so far. I love the style of pixel art and the whole character of Soup!! The gameplay loop is also fairly solid, some more reward/strategy for making Soup!! would be nice, but I understand the time constraint.
P.S. love to see the Bevy appreciation <3
