My submission to Brackeys Game Jam 2024.2!

You play as an anxious actor about to give their first major performance. Help them calm down using the "Box Breathing" technique so they can nail their performance!

I encourage you to try this technique yourself and see if it helps!

Notes:

Theme interpretation: I interpreted the prompt as "Keeping Calm Before The Storm". I think going into things with the right mindset can really help you perform your best.

Things I learned:

Working with unity (first time)
Making some basic models in blender
Different lighting types in unity
Visual scripting in Unity (I don't like it)
Web exports ruin your textures hahah
Define a target build and optimize for that from the beginning
Don't think that just because you're taking a gamejam casually that means you don't need version control.
