v1.01 Released!

GMTK Game Jam was a blast! We had a great time participating and were very excited to be positively rated and reviewed! Thank you to everyone who took the time to play and comment.

This was our 6th jam since making our first game summer 2023. I went through and compared all of our ratings, and was happy to see that Torus was in the 79~89 percentile across the board (our best outing thus far 🙂).

Of course, game jams are more about trying out ideas and having fun than focusing on ratings, and in the spirit of that, I wanted to keep the momentum going a bit and try out some visual flairs that we've yet to add to our games.

Post-Jam Visual Brush-Up

I focused on adding in particles and camera shake--two essential visual flairs that I've yet to properly use in Godot (or any engine, for that matter 😅). Below is a comparison of the boss chase with these changes in place.
