Airwaves, the game

So in June there was a game jam hosted by Game Makers Iceland. Like they do every summer. The theme was “waves”. And it immediately inspired me to make a game about Iceland Airwaves. I had a great team. Hélène and Atla. Hélène really did the heavy lifting, as our only programmer. But Atla handled all of the music and sound effects. And I did everything else. I came up with the mechanics and style and drew everything. I started thinking about the music festival Iceland Airwaves. And what if we made a mechanic that including surfing on a wave, a crowd wave. So we delivered on the theme on a few levels.

We didn’t have ton of time doing this, I think it was made in less than 30 hours combined. But it was a hit during to wrap up and ended up winning third place.

Hélène and I are going to enter the Winter Game Jam this year, still waiting for the theme to be announced. I think making games could be a fun hobby.
