Hi we are actually a small gamedev team and we wanted to try to do something different, fast and a bit experimental. We saw this game jam as a perfect place to be creative. Would be great if you could give us feedback and also, send us your game to play it and tell us, why did you make your game?
Our game: https://abstractdigital.itch.io/doors-monstes-and-towers
Well well well, look where I found you.
I'll definitely try this one ;)
As to why I made the game I made? Somewhere in me I always wanted to try and create some sort of roguelike-ish game with platforming. I also kinda wanted to challenge myself and create all the assets, so this was my first time using a music program (I used FamiStudio), and I think I did quite decent at that, even though they are simple sounds.
Here's my game, if you want to try it ;)
Well my reason is simpler, i just wanted to have a bet with my friend to push eachother
I'm gonna give your game a try!
Here's mine, its a bit buggy but playable https://itch.io/jam/brackeys-11/rate/2535904 hope you enjoy!
It's great to see a game-sharing forum post with a prompt. I'm looking forward to reading about how everyone came up with their game!
My team realized early on that we wanted to create a game with a retro aesthetic, and we figured that our basic premise of fighting things that come from doors could lend itself well to a edgy 90s aesthetic that harken back to games like Doom and Silent Hill. When we figured that out I couldn't help but add in weird 90s tropes that were common in games without a lot of plot, like having to fight in Hell to REDEEM YOURSELF, to give our submission a bit of personality.
When it came to the gameplay we took some inspiration from Draven's axe catching mechanic in League of Legends and I think that came out well :)
Check out our game below, and vanquish some demons...
