garden

A mess. *Be warned of possibly very loud sounds!

This is my submission for my first game jam: NOISE JAM 2, and my first "finished" game.

The idea was to make a procedural simulation of a garden that grows and rots with time, tying in with the Jam's secondary theme of flowers and rot. Midway through the project I had the idea of making the flowers play a music sample when they grow or die, to act as some sort of digital instrument.

Nothing went as I expected. I have no art skills whatsoever, so the visual department ended up lackluster. I meant to add some visual noise but didn't have time for it. I struggled to gain confidence in using the engine and it's language. This cost me most of my time. I restarted the project due to messy code, and only got serious with it in the last few days. On the last day I had to choose between sleep and finishing it, and unfortunately, I chose sleep. The delivered product is functional, but I'm not satisfied with it. Still, I did something, which is already more than I've done in the past.

- How strange it is to be anything at all.
