Ruff Night at the Museum
. . . this wasn’t in the job description.
“Ruff Night at the Museum” was made for the Shock & Awwww game jam hosted by Fantastic Arcade and ATX GameMakers. The gist of the jam is to make a game with cute jumpscapes (like Spooky’s House of Jumpscares), meaning making something scary without blood, gore, or irreparable bodily trauma.
This game was made with the SUPER WONDERFUL and TALENTED Trevor Whitaker Black, Weston Wright, and Casey Donnellan (who, I must mention, made “Kill It With Fire” ?!) I’m so lucky to have worked with these dudes.
12/1/2020 Update: It’s on Steam now! My very first game on Steam! WOOHOO!!! We also had to change the name to “Ruff Night at the Gallery” juuust in case.
The gameplay is simple: get through the museum picking up keys and don’t get licked by the adorable dogs that have decided to haunt the paintings around you. I had the pleasure of making the dog paintings and their ghosts. It was great fun parodying famous paintings (and yes, they’re all named with puns in mind).
