Changing the Input Early

The game was made in 48 hours for the MMarmelade Game Jam with the theme "Lost Signal". We first wanted to use voice input, but typing was much more predictable and therefore much easier to finish in time.

Once the typing mechanic was set, we used pair programming to build the base on the first day. That gave us enough structure to split up on the second day without everyone blocking each other.

Implementing the TV Host

My main work was in Unity, where I created prefabs and logic for sprite swapping based on input. I also implemented the display of the written characters in the red bar.

The visual style came from photos of our teammate Sem as the TV host. I was only a little involved in the photo process, but I still like mentioning it because it created most of the game's look. We took the photos in front of a green screen, keyed them out and matched them with sounds and reactions. I will keep the WIP photos around because I find them funny.
