Lights Out

Made for Trijam 269 - A game jam where participants create a game in 3 hours.

My goals for this game were to release a game within the three hour time limit, learn more about Godot and see how well it performs for prototyping, and learn more about Dialogic for Godot. The total dev time came out to slightly under four hours due to some unforeseen bugs, but I did learn more about the engine and dialogue system.

With more time, I'd like to add more dialogue, a dither shader for the light/pixel art, to rework the sprites, and iron out some bugs that in debugging were hard to reproduce.

Godot seems like an excellent engine for prototyping and jamming, both simple enough to get things moving quickly and extensive to handle many requirements. For a future Trijam, having tools to build assets quickly would help in getting a more fully realized game out within the time limit.
