aw too bad about that bug on saturday! i know that feeling all too well. The art looks really nice and i love the reflection shader. Could you maybe explain a bit how this fits with the theme or what your intention was, just curious. Hope you had fun still at our location. Good luck if you decide to further work on the game!

heyhey, yeah absolutely. The idea was to create a game for my DnD group, they have had a vision in which they would see an almost apocalyptic scenario. I wanted to create a game in which they had a limited amount of time, in it you could talk to people or explore the world to perhaps find rarer points of interest. Quantity vs quality information, that was going to be the struggle of the players as they had to actively choose to pass on certain characters to talk to, perhaps even their own. (I have 7 players in the group, so there are a lot of player characters among the npc's). 

Opening doors would cost resources, and so would using a teleporter, likewise, a conversation would cost that same precious time. that was the gameplay element. Visually one of the things that happend was that a moon was split, and one half was turned into a sun, this is actually what made me consider using the dnd setting as my theme inspiration :P as there was no sun before in this world, and doing this saved tons of life, it just requires an evil ritual to pull it off  :')

I hope that cleared up some reasoning for the theme ^^ I knew when I made the game that my target audience was.. niche let's say :')

I took a look today at fixing the issues I ran into, but it I'm a little stuck at the finish line :P so anyone who's interested in checking out the game when it's done. It might take a little, I'll need to talk to a friend who's better at code than I am :P

I love the atmosphere, can't wait to play the full game! Too bad about the programming troubles, but still amazing work.

Developer

yeah, it'll be an interesting experiment, the goal of the game is to give my dnd party some clues as to a vision they saw. But they have to pick between exploring and gaining rare clues, or gathering a lot of information. I have no idea if it will turn out well :P but I'm happy with it either way, some playtesters when it's done would be great tho :D

I adore the music and art direction it creates a bit of a dark souls atmosphere (my favorite games)! The reflection of the character in the water is awesome. 

Developer

Thank you so much ^^ yeah I really liked the reflection touch too, it's subtle but really adds to it

You made this all by yourself? I think it's very impressive. The art, the style, the music, and effects look very cool. Sad that you got stuck, but shit happens:)

Developer

yeah I was very disappointed about getting stuck, but rounding everything up and just seeing what I made despite it was great ^^ thanks for the kind words :D
