Mark Yeager and Genesis Vault – new game release for Gamedev.js Jam!

Hey everyone! 

We did it! And not a moment too soon, considering we kinda missed the deadline because time zones are apparently as tricky as a newborn's sleep schedule! 🕰️💤

Our team fueled by caffeine and sleep deprivation, led by Oleg, the Game Dev & CTO, with Mariana rocking the Game Designer hat & the baby, Frank bringing the plot together and the voice (literally, the Voice Over guy), and River... well, River is the real MVP, keeping us up at night with those adorable cries. Between diaper changes and debates on the best way to soothe our tiny human, we managed to squeeze in some game dev time. It is our first itch.io jam for Gamedev.js 2024, and boy, did we jam!  

We've been thinking about making this game open source and releasing it for some time, but life kept throwing curveballs at us—post-Covid blues, relationship drama (cue the rom-com soundtrack), epic road trips South - West - East - North - West, and the eternal quest for a somewhat permanent place to stay. It's a saga, really.  

Anyway, enough about Cinevva's messy adventures.

The game jam's theme was POWER. We definitely doubled down on it - collecting power gears to accelerate past the ruins of the dystopian world and the power to protect Genesis Vault to save humanity.

Check out the game  https://cinevva.itch.io/mark-yeager-and-genesis-vault and if you could spare a rating or some feedback, we'd be forever grateful. And who knows, maybe our next game will be inspired by the chaos of parenthood and programming all at once!
