I participated in my first official Global Game Jam this past weekend. I decided to dive head on into it by helping make an NES style game. A working web version of our game can be found here: https://www.slembcke.net/nes/TrashBandits/

Some of the pixel art that I helped make.

By far, the highlight of the game jam was the Executive Director of Global Game Jam, Maria Burns Ortiz, stopping by and playing our game.

As we approached the release of Totally Reliable Delivery Service we wanted to fill out the world with some fun ideas that players could interact with in interesting ways. More vehicles and props around the world are always a good way to add fun!

The whole We’re Five company are big fans of Rocket League and we thought it would be fun to add a goofy physics based homage inside Totally Reliable Delivery Service. It was awesome to get to design such a fun game area.
