Inspiration

• Games such as Doodle Jump, Poptropica
• "Western" media such as Rango
• Grand Canyon for the background of the game ## What it does
• Just in Time is a game where the player is a cowboy lizard trying to escape a flooding canyon while evading enemies. ## How we built it
• Code written in GameMaker Studio
• Assets drawn in Pixilart, Piskel, Procreate, Clip Studio Paint, PineTools, and Aseprite ## Challenges we ran into
• Version control was challenging with GameMaker Studio (commits kept overriding local changes)
• Several members of the team had never used GameMaker Studio before and had to learn the tools while working ## Accomplishments that we're proud of
• All our assets were finished within the 24 hours and look great!
• No AI was used in the project at all! ## What we learned
• Spend extra time setting up version control to ensure everyone's workspaces are synced ## What's next for Just in Time
• Add more levels!
• Add more enemy variation
• Introduce new player movement for more variety in game play
• Add indicator for when player gets hit
