CENSORED: Now available!
Posted by
I took part in
NSFW MiniJam!
It was a week-long jam with the theme "forbidden".
Coincidentally, this theme fit for an idea I came
up with back in --
a game where you have a job censoring live TV broadcasts. I had
originally back-burnered it at the time, because it seemed like
it would require way too much art. But it was perfect for the
theme, so I had to do it. The whole thing came together surprisingly smoothly. I
thought the hardest part would be writing code to detect
whether you had successfully censored everything innapropriate,
but I managed to accomplish that on the first night. By night
two, I had code for drawing, moving, and deleting censor bars
on screen. Then it was a matter of writing a little cutscene
system, drawing a few characters, and adding all the extraneous
stuff like the title screen. All in all, it was a pleasure to
work on. The game jam build of CENSORED is available now
on my itch.io page.
It has about 15 minutes of gameplay. The rating period for the jam is still going. I really hope
people like the game. I'm still in the process of trying out
all the other entries; it's always kind of intimidating to do
so. The game jam version of CENSORED is certainly not going to
be the final version. I have been hard at work on quality of
life stuff, and plan to drop an update as soon as the rating
period ends. So far, this update includes: I don't know if the update will have any new content. I
would like to add some, but the next
Strawberry Jam
is starting soon and I might not have the time and energy.
