GODOT WILD JAM 68 - Forge

Design 

KATAMARI MEATBALL was made and submitted as part of the 68th Godot Wild Jam. The theme for this jam was Forge. As part of this theme, the duo at Hangover Sunshine felt inspired by body horror and the concept of forging human flesh together. This led to the idea of having a cultist roll a meatball—attempting to forge it into a massive sphere of destruction through the absorption of human flesh.

Tools Used

• Godot 4.2
• Procreate 
• Photoshop (adjusting sprites)
• Audacity

Running on Mac

To comply with the Godot Wild Jam specifications, we provide three builds: Windows, Mac, and Linux. Windows and Linux work out of the box with no issues, but for Mac users there is a slightly different process. When you run the game, you will be stopped by Gatekeeper. Once this happens, go to Settings > Search ("Gate Keeper") > Security > Allow KATAMARI MEATBALL to Run. Once you click that, it will pop up with a similar warning and press "Open."
