Prism Quest

The story of Prism Quest

After quiting our full-time jobs to try this whole game dev thing, Luke and I decided it might be best to participate in another game jam. It had been 6 months since our last jam and we hadn't had time to work on Toko Roko either. In order to get our design and development muscles moving again we found a jam that would both challenge us and allow us to get back into the Toko Roko mindset. That jam, was the 1-Bit Game Jam.

The theme of the jam was "transformation" and we had 2 weeks to make a game. We wanted to make something that was challenging, fun, and could be completed in the time frame. A platformer seemed like a good place to start since that would get us in the headspace of working on Toko Roko again once we were done. Not to mention we would learn a lot in the process. Michael had been working on a rebuild of the Toko Roko platforming framework (the foundation of the game). This includes all of the collision detection logic, a state machine for the player, a simple camera and a few other goodies.
