48 Hour Game Jam! Chariots of Fur - co-op cat racing game!

BARDLER

We just finished the 48 hour "I Am A Gamer" game jam today. The prompt was strong female characters. http://jam.iamagamer.ca/

We made a pretty sweet competitive co-op game where you control one of the cats that are pulling the Goddess Freya's chariot, and your friend controls the other. You can play by yourself, but it is meant to be played against somebody. Just collect as many souls as you can until you get board, and have fun!

i don't know whether it is intentional or not...but why everything is faceted....no smoothing groups in any mesh???

I assumed the faceting is on purpose, I like the style, although it seems weird that her chariot has wheels yet she is dog sledding through the snow.

It is intentional. I modeled everything except the tree trunk and grass patches, and I textured everything. I just wanted to create something interesting, kind of papercraft style, in the short period of time. You don't really have time to make nice modern game assets in a 48 hour game jam, so you have to be creative.

The brown and green ground looked super ugly lol, and we didn't want to change her chariot because that is what Freya rides in Norse mythology.
