Just Get Star Ted

Entry for Shovel Jam 2025

The theme for the jam was 'Just Get Started'.
For my second ever jam I decided to go for a play on words on the theme rather than a direct interpretation.

So: Just Get Star Ted.

Ted is a Star, an actor, but he doesn't always feel like showing up on set. Instead he prefers to hang out at the local Arcade.

The director is sick and tired of this and has tasked you, a junior producer, with bringing Ted back by force, but unharmed.

The director has given you an Electrical Incapacitation Device to stun Ted and bring him back. But don't make a scene! (Don't stun too many innocent bystanders).

Just Get Star Ted is a stealth game where you must sneak up on Ted and get him without being spotted by him.

Thank you for trying the game!

Assets used:

Models: Many many from the free Kenney models available at: https://www.kenney.nl/

Other models are from assets I purchased in the past. A handful are primitive shapes I used to quickly make some shapes.

UI sprites: Most are also from Kenney.

Music: Some tracks from https://incompetech.com/ . Credits are in the pause menu of the game.

Other music tracks from my previously bought library.

Sound: From previously purchased asset packs

VFX: A free pack from: https://assetstore.unity.com/publishers/31523

Generative AI

I only used Gemini to help with fixing code and figuring out some tough math and bug fixes. No models, sound, music or sprites were made with generative AI to my knowledge
