Real Time News

In 2018 the group I had joined for Color Wave disbanded. But I still wanted to jam, one last time, even if I had to do it alone. However, I was at my last year of college. My capstone project (in Brazil we call these Trabalho de Conclusão de Curso) was being done in Unity, which took from me all of my willpower for doing anyting else with it.

If I really wanted to go, I had to use something I was very familiar with. Something that would allow me to work and deliver faster. Yes, it was time again for RPG Maker. But this time, I went with RPG Maker MV.

The theme of that Global Game Jam was "Transmission". In under two hours I concepted the idea for Real Time News. A news program known for transmitting the news in the moment they happen, which relies on the skills of Reporter, the reporter, to go where the news are - even if he have to make them happen personally, whatever the cost.

This was the only time where I went to the GGJ all by myself. And not only that but also the only one where I opted to do it remotely, from my home. Everything I planned to do was done within the usual time limit.

In the end I was very happy. Doing all alone is hard, but by doing it I proved to myself that I'm capable.

CONTROLS:
Arrow keys to move
Spacebar/Enter to interact with objects
