CrocoJam16

Long after civilization crumbled, an old patrol robot still follows its last directive: protect the peace.

You can watch the whole scene here:

The robot is directly inspired by the PS1 game Future Cop L.A.P.D. His name is Alpha X-1.

The dryad is my OC and is called Lenya. I took the jam as an opportunity to model her in Crocotile.

The ladybug is a little homage to a good friend whom we affectionately call "Käfer" (beetle in german).

This is the first time I made something "organic" in Crocotile. I learned how to rig and animate in Crocotile (most animations were still made in Godot). Normally I use Blockbench, but I will switch to Crocotile from now on.

Another challenge I set for myself was to "embrace the jank." Not everything is perfectly pixel-aligned like I usually try to do. The scales are off and so on, but for a jam, I think it's fine and I learned a lot.

Time spent (according to the "CrocoClock"):

• Lenya: >15h

• Robot: >9h

• Street: >2h (wow, that's super quick for me)

• Ladybug: >1h

• Godot: a couple of hours

Tools used:

• Crocotile

• Aseprite

• Godot
