Bob Ross’s Puzzle Painter
This was my entry for the 2014 Something Awful Game Dev Challenge IX. This year’s theme was Public Access Television.
I came in 27th place out of 40 completed entries. Not a great score, but I am pretty proud of it since it is the first game project I have ever completed that was the big/complex. Most of the judge feedback I received praised the game for having solid game play and polish, but criticized it for being a pretty standard match 3 color game with Bob Ross theme superficially added on top. And I can not disagree with that one bit. This game wouldn’t play the slightest bit different if it was Ford F150 themed. I thought I might be able to get a better score for taking a basic game like a match 3 game and polishing it as best as I could. But I guess I should have tried something more creative and original, and in retrospect there are several things I could have done to make the game play tie in to the videos more directly.
All in all, I am still proud of what I was able to accomplish considering that this is the first thing I have ever completed in Unity3d and I am looking forward to making more games in the future.
