Macca Masquerade: Global Game Jam 2026 Devlog A blog dedicated the to artwork and game development process of Michelle Rakar, a Game Designer with a BFA in Animation.

Last month was #GGJ26, so we made a game called Macca Masquerade. I documented my process throughout the weekend, so check out my first blog post, where I detail everything that happened during the jam weekend and where we were by the end of that first week of working on it.

I updated the challenger selection UI in our #GGJ26 project to match the battle UI and dialogue boxes a bit more now that we have a more centralized theming. Also not pictured here, but I made a lot of enemy behavior updates tonight too!

#GGJ #GameDev #IndieDev

I finally wrote the rest of the dialogue for our #GGJ26 project tonight! I also did a lot of bug testing and overall tried to finalize the last major parts that are left. Still working through some bugs, but hoping to wrap this game up in the next week or so!

#GameDev #IndieDev #GGJ

I updated some of the UI buttons in our #GGJ26 project. Because I added the keys/buttons you press to use them, it caused some overlap. So I rearranged them to be in the places you'd expect and ended up redesigning them a bit to fit into the new layout.

#GGJ #GameDev #IndieDev

I finally added the defeat animations for all of the characters to our #GGJ26 project tonight! Once you defeat an enemy, you unmask them and take their mask, which you can use in battle. I drew the faces previously, it was just a matter of saving assets out to use here.

Pixel art for Spirit Slash 🦊

I had so much fun working in such a limited palette though the floor tiles gave me a headache-

As always you can find all my work for the game on my Artstation but first check out the game on itch.io

Non commercial #GGJ26 Game Masquerade Slash. Simple Hack-and-Slash where enemies become apparent depending on the mask you wear (MS Windows)

I added some abilities that extend the player's movement range in our #GGJ26 project. This meant rewriting our movement code and adding to how the tiles are spawned.

#GGJ #IndieDev #GameDev

We made some more progress on our #GGJ26 game today! I drew Gold Mask, and we worked together to add ranged attacks for the player. I updated some of our button icons to include PS4 support and be bigger. And I used parameters to set up multiple battles and mask abilities!

Tested #Godot cutout animation & animation trees for my #ggj26 project, but I am seriously intrigued by the Polygon2D node & after watching a playthrough of „Another World“ by Éric Chahi seriously considering it, less sprites, more flexibility & possibilities, give me vertices and I get ideas

I spent today adding controller support to our #GGJ26 project! It ended up being more involved than I thought it'd be, so I ended up writing a plugin to remap keys to specific controller buttons. But it's now fully playable with a controller!

I took part in this year's #GlobalGameJam in Torino.
With both old and new friends we developed 'The Last Dance', a silly game about dancing and bongos- mostly because we used the DK Bongos as main controller :P

You can check it out on my itch page: zanyrig.itch.io/the-last-dance
