Wound up by David & Felix

in this game you are a clown who has to insert gears and parts in order to assemble a wind-up toy-elephant - while being watched by a clown-inspector.

making this game gave me (david) a real appreciation of the craft that goes behind the work of Bennett Foddy. it feels like it should be so easy to make a physics-based videogame. the engine takes care of all that already right?

my first attempt was just exporting out the 3D-model and have the colliders be the same shape - this did not work at all. it took me about 10 more tries of simplifying the geometry of the collider, tweaking the mass, friction and velocities, until i could get even one gear to fit, and without everything devolving into chaos. why does it feel like a modern game-engine isn't meant to do these things and how do some games make it seem effortless?

clowning around was also really fun :)

The Masquerade Circus was a very ambitious project for me. One of the things that I've been wanting to improve about my games for a long time now are the visuals - specifically, I wanted to have more detailed sprites and more elaborate animations.

This was one of the goals of TMC, and I think I succeeded at what I wanted. The character sprites have a lot more effort and detail put into them than in my previous games, and I think the environments look very nice as well.

I also made four music tracks for the game which I think all turned out pretty good, a definite improvement over what I've made before (you can download the soundtrack on the itch page as well!) - I wanted to focus specifically on experimenting with more styles and instruments/effects, and to make the music more complex than my previous works, with more layers and transitions.

Although I had to rush the game quite a bit towards the end, I'm very satisfied with the results - TMC looks pretty much exactly how I wanted it to, and I had a lot of fun creating it!

Next time, I hope to once again experiment with new tools and ideas (and maybe even finish the project without rushing it at the end)

I started into this jam with the goal to finally learn Godot. I could evade it so far but seeing as we're planning a bigger game project in Godot soon, I felt the time has come.

I wanted to make something wholesome and fun. A flash-like makeup sim wasn't my first idea (it wasn't even really mine at all, David came up with it at the park), but it sounded like a fun little challenge. Nothing too serious. I wanted to channel the intimacy that applying someone else's makeup usually summons. Being so close, silent, focused. It's a strange feeling. Unfortunately, I got really sick and didn't have any time for sound effects leaving the game feeling one-dimensional in my opinion. welp. Here's the version I managed to make in the timeframe :o)
