and directed by me.
The sound design was by Dylan Hirtle
It was voice acted by Dylan Hirtle and Angelina Almanza.

This Jam was a fantastic experience in event planning, management, and how many amazing games can be made if someone creates a space for them.
I designed a mascot for the Game Jam based on the yellow wirecutters given to us in the program.
The mascot wears a hard hat, as the theme was "A Solid Foundation is Key".
This theme allowed for students to create a game based on a previous project. I hoped that this would give students the flexibility as, for many of them, this was their very first jam!

I designed the trophy in Blender, and fabricated it with 3D printing.
