The Patty Mix-Up is a top down dungeon crawler where King Patty, king of the Pattygonia, has sentenced you, The Mechanic, to the pattycombs where the player is tasked with finding all the parts you need to fix The Patty Maker 3000 so that the kingdom can enjoy an endless supply of beef patties and never have to worry about hunger again . This game was made during the 2020 Global Game Jam.
My contributions:
- Contributed to creating assets
- Designed some of the levels to explore
- Collaborated as a team to develop game concept and story
Project goals:
- Make a fun and unique game for a game jam
- Develop pixel art and game design skills
Biggest Challenges:
- Time
- Pixel art
The biggest challenge for me was using pixel art. I have used it before in some other projects and class assignments but I have never been too confident with my pixel art skills. I stuck to doing some smaller assets for my scene so that I could spend more time on them to make the assets as best as possible. Time was our biggest challenge being that we had less than 48 hours to make this game. There was also a miss communication between the people running our game jam and our team and we were working with the wrong time deadline so some stuff had to be left out at the last minute. This last minute issue caused us to rush and we did not have time to merge everything properly so we did not have time to finish building out some levels.
