Just completed my first ever Game Jam, the Mega Stack-O-Jam, for the #UnrealJam. I created a game from scratch using the Stack-O-Bot 2.0 sample as a template. This jam was definitely a challenge and it took me a few sleepless nights to finish, but it was a rewarding learning experience. The game is not complete, there are some bugs and I did not finish all the levels, but I intend to add more levels probably in the future. I still have a lot to learn, but I am excited to keep growing because I really enjoy making games.

STORYLINE:
Forgot-O-Bot is a puzzle, adventure game where you play as Proto, a forgotten robot prototype who was stored away after newer, more advanced robots took over. When the robot factory’s latest networked robots get hacked and go haywire, Proto, who was not part of the network, is immune and is accidentally awakened when the hack triggers an emergency protocol.
Level 1 Gameplay Mechanics:
Explore the factory by finding keycards to unlock doors and access new areas, but be careful, using the wrong keycard damages Proto, so you will need to choose wisely.
