This was the first ever game I made for a game jam and the first ever I published myself. You can give it a try on Itch.io. If you do so I’d love it and be really thankful if you left a commment or any feedback as it always helps learn and improve the game itself and my mastery of the craft.
The Idea #
The idea for Morty Business comes from the theme from the game jam it was created for, the GameDevTV first game jam, in 2022: “Death is only the beginning”. This being my first ever solo game I had no idea where to start so I tried to take it very litteraly and asked myself for whom death would actually be the beginning? and came to realice that it is obviusly for morticians, so I came up with an idea based on a morticians business. First my imagination went totally out of scope as I didn’t really knew how limited my knowledge was for creating a game all by myself in one week.
The Gameloop #
My initial idea was to depict the arrival of a family to a mortuary and show how they would tell the moritician what to doy with their deceased loved-one. But I didn’t even know how I could do that and also how to make it into a fun loop so I decided to focus on challenging the player to react and decide quickly where to put a casket following simple symbols.
Solo developed with Unity.
