Global Game Jam 2023 - Weed Wars: Dandelion Takeover
This February, I once again took part in the Global Game Jam. Working with the same core team of friends plus some new faces from discord, we came up with Weed Wars: Dandelion Takeover. Based on the theme this year, "Roots", we decided to take that more literal and make a game where you are a plant and root yourself in the ground.
Weed Wars is a first-person shooter, where you control a Dandelion and battle against garden vegetables. As a weed, your goal is to takeover the garden, but your are obstructed by the local garden plants. Our big game mechanic is the need for the player to "Root" themselves in order to shoot and reload ammo.
While we were able to concept and plan our ideas for the game very well, we weren't able to implement and finish developing most of them by the end of the game jam. We made many different models, textures, UI, and more but wasn't able to implement them properly in the game or show them off in our videos of it. It is very much a Work in Progress.
