Ultimate Frog Champion

Ultimate Frog Champion was created by myself and four friends in 38 hours for the Global Game Jam in January 2015. We should have had 48 hours to complete the game, but we lost a large amount of time due to a power outage at our location. The theme for the game jam was “What do we do now?”. Our team had a great deal of trouble thinking of something to fit the theme, so we just went with a random idea that popped into my head: frog slap boxing. UFC is a local two-player fighting game, where you play as a couple of frogs trying to slap each other while their arms flail wildly about. The last hours of the jam would’ve been for polish (actual frog models, more announcer quotes, a combo system,  etc), but the power outage really screwed things up. I did all of the unity stuff, some of the audio, and the texturing, while my friends took care of the rest of the art and audio.

Things learned from UFC:

  • When making a team for a game jam, make sure your team mates actually help out instead of just watching.

  • Power outages are no fun!
