#staysafejam

Hey Folks. I wanted to share something my company is organizing while our staff is working from home.  We've been more and more concerned about a serious topic, how most people are feeling right now: the corona epidemic and its worldwide consequences. We want to use the sense of community that exists in the games industry to promote cohesion and staying at home. And we want to do this through the StaySafe!Jam, a game jam where you can develop games from home. For us, it's the first time organizing a Game Jam and we're currently working at full speed on all things that should make a smooth process possible. We are overwhelmed by the support from the industry, so we can also give out small prizes thanks to the many supporters. But it's not about prizes at all. It's also not about companies capitalizing on the event. No, it's just about counteracting the virus and that you and your friends have a little distraction with the giveaways of the supporters even after the jam. We hope that as many teams as possible will participate in the StaySafe! jam and use the time at home in a fun and meaningful way.

Toilet Paper Delivery

The end is near! But as a good civilian, you decide to roam the neighborhood and save lifes by delivering... toilet paper! In Toilet Paper Delivery, timing is everything, so use your skills to target the closest mailbox and shoot some toilet paper in it, your neighbor will thank you for it.

Toilet Paper Delivery is all about good reflexes and timing. Getting the skill to hit the mailboxes while constantly moving is a challenge for itself, but add an increasing amount of speed to your character and what looks like an easy game becomes a real challenge.

This game was a submission to the Stay Safe! Jam back in March 2020. The theme was solidarity. While it didn’t win the first price, I wanted to mention it being the only game where I didn’t take part in the programming at all. I was responsible for the environment, which included the mailbox, street, and different houses.

The game was done as a group project with Pascal Wohlwender. I linked the jam, the entry and a link to a playable version of the game down below.
