"The Saga of Anders Bluebeard"

This was the game I worked on for Splash Jam 2016 - probably one of the most unique game jams I have attended, since it all took place on board a cruise ship. The theme was "Beginnings". The team I was with decided to make a game that is a tutorial all the way to the end, and then we took that initial idea and added a couple of twists. Check out the game here:

For a change, I did not do two things that I'm normally in charge of - game design and writing - and I tried my hand at two things I hadn't done before - programming and voice-acting (including the goat!). The end result was a lot better than I expected, especially since I had to figure out how to use Gamemaker Studio without the help of the Internet (the wifi on the ship never worked for me) and somehow hammer out this game in just two days.
