Big Update!

Over the last month I've been updating Feasa, as part of the Pigsquad "Finish your game" jam. Feasa was originally created as part of another Pigsquad jam, the Summer Slow Jams 2020 Horror Game jam, and when the 2 weeks were over we felt like there was more that could have been done on the project. Unfortunately shortly after the jam ended there were major wildfires throughout the west coast, which delayed, and discouraged any continuation on the project.

In talking with Will from Pigsquad, it seemed like the "Finish your game" jam would be a perfect opportunity to pick up the game and make the one or two changes I wanted to make... that quickly snowballed into overhauling many aspects of the game, adding new visual elements, and redesigning major sections of the game. The end result is something I'm pretty proud of having accomplished within the scope of two game jams.

If you played previously the game was pretty hard to understand. I made some major overhauls to design to help the player know more clearly where they're meant to go. The player now has access to a journal that details what actions they need to take, and the camera is nudged in the direction the player needs to go after they consume the mushrooms that litter the game space.

We've also made some updates to make the game more tense! The player is now more aware when the witch is hunting you, and you have the chance to get away and hide. The screen aspect ratio also changes dynamically when things are more intense. A key aspect of keeping monsters scary in games is not showing too much of them, so the player shields their eyes in pain when the witch is near, showing off a new 3d hand that has been added.

I welcome any feedback! Enjoy!
