Hello everyone! This will be my WIP thread, where I update you through the steps of developing my little sci-fi game during the Careerin Game Jam :)
I've started working on the game today, with very little insight of what I wanted to accomplish: I think I'm going for some kind of story-driven RPG happening in space. You, the main character, have taken control of a device that allows your mind to travel through multiple worlds. All good, except you remember nothing, not even where the machine, within which your body must be lying, is located. The game should follow your quest, across multiple universes and along a number of NPC, to remember who and where you are. Nakasha and Rebetta, the personae of the device's AI, are here to assist you through this challenge.
So far I have the basic design:
What you're looking at is a star field, where I want the player to be able to select worlds to travel to. And the dialog box, that is to remain open throughout the whole game, where conversations with the NPC like the AI happen. What is missing is some interface for the multiverse travelling machine, that should enable the player to travel through different star fields.
So this is somewhat ambitious, I don't know if I'll manage to pull it off, but I'm having tons of fun writing the dialogs already :)
Hope you like it, don't hesitate to reply to this thread, and good luck on the game jam!
