Rest In Pastry.

Rest In Pastry

For 'My First Game Jam', we developed a stimulation game called, Rest In Pastry, where the Grim Reaper puts the player (you) in charge to run an underworld café. You need to interact with cooking stations to deliver the correct orders to the waiting ghosts before they become impatient and leave. The game currently has 6 levels.

The five of us

I joined an ongoing team of four members eight days after the jam started. In this project, I collaborated closely with the initial pixel artist and the rest of the team to help create both game assets and UI elements. Despite joining mid-jam, it was an exciting challenge and an enjoyable opportunity to contribute my skills that aligned with the game's style, and to work with a team full of brilliant people that are dedicated to submit a cohesive game.

Reflection on practice

It's a learning experience after all

This experience taught me that it's ok not to know how to do everything, especially with a week left of the game jam. I realised that embracing the learning curve is just as equal as the end result, and the road to mastering skills requires continuous learning, making mistakes, learning from mistakes, collaboration, and a strong mindset.

Teamwork makes the dream work

During this game jam, I've learned about effective teamwork can lead to better outcomes. Our discussions were filled with transparency and fostered open communication that created a positive and relaxed atmosphere that made everyone feel they have the support of the team behind them. All in all, I'm grateful to have found and worked with amazing people.
