Jam Overview

Topic:

Claw vending machine where you control the plushies, a kid walks by and fixes his/her eyes on one of the plushies, and you control the selected one.

Ending Condition

Winning

All the plushies are gone

Losing

Kid got 3 empty claws in a row, or the patience runs out

How to play

• Tilt the console: Tilt the vending machine (but it doesn't tilt much because the machine is heavy)
• Press A: The selected plushie jumps a bit
• Press B: Kick the vending machine

TODO

Now transitioned to Issues section

• Claw movement
• Claw opening and closing
• Claw collision detection and snapping
• Machine tilting
• Plushie jumping
• Bounding boxes with parenting. Plushies can be made of 1, 2 or 3 boxes
• Active plushie indicator
  • Kid pointing
  • Plushie highlight
• A patience bar
• Kid rotating when vending machine rotates
• Fix broken restart (music also needs to stop after pressing restart)
• Make claw grab better
• Build instructions for the git repo
• Improve loading time during reset/switch to main menu or add a simple graphic that indicates loading time
• fix heart animations not playing
• fix heart breaking/fixing animation playing on top of base hearts
• check delay of kid reactions, heart fx, game fail/success screen so all sounds are playing at good timings
• fix borked toys by
  • rearranging collision shapes or remove them
  • Make joint connect to specific point on the body
• check if all correct kid voice lines play
• use smaller selection highlight fx while toy is not rising with the claw yet
• investigate if selection highlight can be made not blinking due to dithering being moved by one pixel
• Add documentation for adding the toys (actually just update the TOYS_INSTRUCTION table)
• Kick the machine (do we really want it?)

Nice-to-haves

• If you kick too much you draw the attention of the security guard and the kid might get caught
• If the machine tilts too much it falls down and the kid get caught.
• Soft plushies
• facial expressions, maybe just for the Peedee? >-<
