Our Steem Monsters Game Jam Game!!
If anyone is not familiar with what a game jam is...let me say they are fucking hard!
The objective is to take a theme and create a video game in a very short period of time.
Oftentimes, the results are barely fleshed out demos.
I always like the opportunity to make something with my son.
For a teenager, he's a pretty talented coder.
I asked if he was interested, knowing that most of the time we had available to do this,
he would be in school, he said yes and off we went.
I immediately set off to come up with a concept and a way we could execute it.
With the help of @lunaticmoon creating the art and @bigredd knocking out the audio...
we just barely got something playable in time.
The game is available to play in browser here...

My son coded this in C# using the Unity game engine.
It is open source and the code can be found here...

We will be polishing it up over the weekend and there will be a boss added sometime tonight.
(edit...boss is now working in game..not finished but working)
Give it a try and let us know what you think.
While you are there...take a look at the other entries as well...you can find them here...

Thanks to @steemmonsters for putting this together,
as well as
@utopian-io
@blocktrades
&
@steemgg
for adding to the prize pool.
Thanks for the contribution, @jonny-clearwater. First of all it's very cool what you've created in such a short amount of time, huge props to everyone involved! I especially like the aesthetic and atmosphere of the game.
Since it wasn't really made clear from the game jam announcement that Utopian contributions should follow certain guidelines I won't be too nitpicky, but I would still like to point out a few things and give some tips/hints:
You mentioned on Discord that contributing on Utopian is something your son might be interested in doing more often. If he has more stuff like this up his sleeves he should definitely do that! Something that might be useful to him is reading this guide that was written by one of our moderators on what we expect from development contributions and what we base our review on.
I look forward to seeing what else you guys come up with!
Your contribution has been evaluated according to Utopian policies and guidelines, as well as a predefined set of questions pertaining to the category.

I'll be passing all this along to my son.
Thanks!
Thank you for your review, @amosbastian!
So far this week you've reviewed 8 contributions. Keep up the good work!
Great game design, music, and feel for only 12 hours of work. Like I say in the video I'm about to share, very impressive Game Jam. Some enemies like the "swamp guy" can be difficult to beat(even tho jonny says its easy mode right now, not that I disagree xD but it took me some tries to finish it) which I really enjoy; nothing better than the rewarding feeling of beating a hard game.
Boss battle: 41:49

Hey guys I played a lot of the games in the Game Jam, I spent more time on the game Jonny, his son, and I made, but I get to the boss at 49:50 and beat it!! Come check it out :)

Glad you enjoyed. Super cool you did the audio for it.
You had no idea what the game was gonna look like or play like, but just through communicating on discord we got the right feel for the tunes. Thanks so much Red!
anytime! lemme know if you make another game :)
I really like the music, best feature in my opinion!
Ohh ohh ohh. Accosted by shirtless men!
hahahahahaha
Pretty awesome. What version of Visual Studio is he using?
Hey @grey580,
You shouldn't need Visual Studio if you're developing in Unity.
It's an all encompassing development platform... check it out.
Cheers,
ok cool. I didn't know that. I've only seen it used with VS.
https://visualstudio.microsoft.com/vs/unity-tools/
he's using VS Community 27
I like the game and the music behind it! I tried it today on Whack Streams on @dlive and I really had fun. I thought I am not a type of gamer for these kinds of games but this little game proved me wrong!
Now I can't wait for the new update and hopefully I will be given another opportunity to try it :)
Have fun with the updates and see ya around! Much love to y'all!
Drop the link to the video of it and give us a time mark so people can see you play it. Thanks for playing btw and really glad you enjoyed it!
Indeed, I will. tnx :)
