Added the generated lightmap to the map of our 2022 jam game, PsyCam.

The doors and takeable objects still use the old lighting.

A view of the game: 4 camera monitors showing a different par of the map, lightmapped.

An experiment made in a game jam in 2015. I didn't have a game idea to go with it, but I wanted to experiment with a 3D map that scrolled like a conveyor belt.
I wasn't good with shaders back in the day, so I had to work some more time after the jam to get this result. I added the tutorial more recently.

🌊 Here's an insight into our 'Branching Save' system in #SaltseaChronicles Because part of the pleasure of play is in exploring the possibility space, we produced a save system that describes the headline choices you make (location and expedition character) as branches in a piece of seaweed.

We made it so you can ‘branch’ your save journey from any chapter of a previous playthrough. You can see your pathway described, and retrace your path to try another branch.
