Jump on the Ball!

ABOUT THE GAME:

Jump on the Ball is the first video game launch from indie studios Literally Nothing and Twitzor Games. What started as an idea for a meme game quickly turned into reality as it became a mission to release a first game, no matter how simple or mundane.

Much like a collaborative college assignment, certain variables were put into place to simulate the beats of an indie game release:

• Make and release a game around a simple mechanic (thanks Ben)
• Collaborate with a team (music, video editors, voice actors etc)
• Use what’s available to you (marketplace assets, metahuman editor, etc)
• Each creative choice from font to color palette must strengthen “design pillars” of the game
• Give it a main menu, pause menu, three basic levels with transitions
• Give it a marketing cycle (streaming, devlog, TikTok clips, reach out to streamers etc)
• Give it a trailer

We went with Unreal Engine 5 to get a head start in learning the engine - as it lends itself to realism, and we . Check out our Discord for updates on our next game!
