Hello everyone,
Gdevelop Jam #1 is finaly over, judges gave their final results.
 
I finished 12th out of 216 submission, result I'm super happy with 🥳
(Bonus point, I finished 2nd on originality criteria)

Aware of the gaps, but also of the potential of my game, I decided during the past two weeks, to rework differents aspect of my game to make it even better. I focus mainly on making the game more understandable, more juicy and more beautifull.

Here the details of what I worked on :

🛠️ Rework of menu

• Make it more diegetic
• Clarify the tutorial (interaction with the main game design idea)
• Clear define of goals

🎨 Rework of UI

• Make it more diegetic
• Add diegetic tips during the game to clarify the main goals
• Add small indication when dealing with power that require a certain amount
• Add background images with gear and wrench (makes it a little more alive)

🎥 Work on animation

• Add power less animation when a module is unpowered
• Add juicy activation effects for module
• Add small effect to gears when rebuilding
• Add various tween color effect to text to respond to different actions
• Add intro and game transitions
• Add conclusion animation (Game Over, Win)

💻 Code 

• Massive clean code
• Reorganisation of code
