Gem Cart Dash – Sept 14, 2017

Posted on November 6, 2017  in Game Jam

Gem Cart Dash is a Minecart Infinite Runner. You control your Minecart as it is traveling along a, sometimes broken, rail system. While trying to collect gems as you go you also must avoid obstacles until you have enough you can spawn a portal to complete the level.

Here was our retrospective from that day:

What we can do better:

  • Update the website with some kind of information about what to do to prepare for your first event.
  • Somehow we need to distribute the git repository ahead of time.

What went well:

  • Snacks were great.
  • Nate made a great design doc.
  • Base game mechanic before the event.
  • A/C was working better than last time.
  • Pizza showed up on time.
  • Scaffolding was greatly improved.
