Third place on the GLOBAL GAME JAM 2014!
Well, this year's Global game jam has passed and we've won third place for best idea, story and concept. Like last year we had a lot of fun with all of the people there. It's a really great experience to meet tons of guys and girls who are in love with game development just like us, there were many youngsters that learned from us, and there were some experienced developers that thought us many things. As always, this was a learning experience for both of us, especially for our programmer Martin, who once again stepped into the unknown and learned a great deal while creating this game, I on the other hand learned how much drawing there is in an adventure game and wouldn't do it again without the help of another artist!
(just kidding). The thing I was happy about was that our team is slowly expanding. This year our Music guy Bojan (audio engineer or whatever they're called), came with us and made some lovely themes which made our game what it is really. Then we had another team member Dino, who helped with the writing and story which was also a great lift of my shoulders because besides game design and art this task was always on me too. So I think that this is why we managed to pull of a complete game on a Game Jam. Yup, you heard right! We had an idea and managed to finish it from start to end, which is a great success for us given the small amount of time we had on our hands. Our guess is that our weekends that we spent working on games with Martin (instead of going out with our girlfriends) paid off, because we were better organised and everyone managed to fulfill every task that was written on our TASK PAPERS (you know those papers with food and yogurt stains on them).
So here you go, try out our latest point&click adventure:

We want to write more on our blog and there is so much to share about our amateur experiences as game designers. We really learned a lot. We will try to find the time, but feel free to PM us anything you want on our facebook page:
