As the nightfall attracts in, take a minute to poke round at a few of the creations from Nina Freeman’s sunset-themed game jam, which tasked builders with making “a game that’s romantic, nostalgic, spooky, or anything else that has something to do with the day turning to night” in a bit below two weeks.
If you’ve performed any of Freeman’s earlier games, just like the MMO-based teen love story Cibele, it’s in all probability not shocking that her entry to the jam is predicated on a romantic night. Beach Date, created along with Jake Jefferies, is about hanging out and throwing sand and wine round whereas the solar sinks beneath the horizon. It’s goofy, but in addition candy, as you possibly can see:
The different entries are price taking the time for as nicely. I particularly loved Sunsets, a set of vignettes about totally different meanings of the phrase that’s typically shocking and humorous. It’s virtually definitely the primary game that I can say has joke involving a shoebill, despite the fact that they’re in and of themselves extraordinarily humorous birds.
The prettiest sundown in Sunset Jam, in my view, is available in Meteor Strike! (above), which is an exploration of an esports participant’s dream. It’s very restrictive at first, solely permitting you to stroll forwards slowly, however when it does open up and you’ll transfer extra freely it turns into disorienting, with the digital camera tilted at a shifting angle. But that pink-orange fade is simply attractive.
You can discover the entries to Sunset Jam, out there for pay what you need with no minimal, on itch.io.
