What is Not so Trash Panda?

Not So Trash Panda is about a raccoon that digs through the trash and finds the jackpot of all garbage…cotton candy! As he is celebrating his find, the neighborhood crow swoops in and steals it from him. The crow then tasks him with a couple of errands so he can get his cotton candy back.

Where we started

We were first given the theme of “Good Intentions”. My immediate thought was the player walking around a neighborhood doing chores for the neighbors. Then someone excitedly said “raccoon!” and we all agreed that would be a fun playable character. We then started to discuss what kind of mayhem a raccoon would get into such as digging through trash, throwing around objects, and climbing onto houses.

Pick up

One of the first things you’ll learn to do is pick up objects.

There are items scattered around the neighborhood that the raccoon will need to pick up and take somewhere else.

Throw

Another thing the raccoon can do is throw the items he’s picked up.

Instead of just dropping an item, the raccoon will need to throw it onto, into, and even through something else.

Climb

The raccoon can also climb onto houses if he needs to.

Maybe something got left on the roof or maybe he just likes to explore.

Now that we have the main mechanics down, why should the raccoon do any of these things? That’s when we came up with the task list.

Task List

The task list is where you’ll find all the things the crow has told you to do to get your cotton candy back. There are even some secrets tasks hidden in there.

You got a glimpse of how we came up with our game and what some of the things you can do in it are. We've enjoyed making this game and we hope you will enjoy it when it’s finally released on July 23rd!
