How does your game fit the theme?
Our game directly ties into the GMTK Game Jam 2024 theme, "Built to Scale," by integrating the concept of musical scales into the core gameplay mechanics. Players must use these scales to evolve and transform the world around them, effectively "building" the environment as they progress. As the player meets objectives, the world scales in unexpected ways, with its size, complexity, and features expanding dynamically based on the musical interactions. This approach not only aligns with the theme but also adds a unique twist, making the scale a literal and integral part of both the narrative and the gameplay. The player's actions and decisions using musical scales continuously reshape the world, ultimately culminating in a surprising plot twist that reinforces the concept of building and scaling within the game.

Development Time

(Optional) Please credit all assets you've used
Our game was developed for the GMTK Game Jam under the theme "Scale to Build," utilizing Godot as the engine and supported by SAI and Photoshop for the art. The game is a unique experience where players must use musical scales to evolve and transform the world around them.

The story unfolds in what appears to be an experimental environment, where the player is tasked with completing various objectives. Each objective achieved triggers changes in the world, scaling it in surprising ways. As players progress, they’ll notice the world evolving dynamically, with new challenges and opportunities emerging from the use of different musical scales.

The game's art style, crafted using SAI and Photoshop, brings this experimental world to life with vibrant and meticulously designed visuals that adapt to the changing environment. The music, composed specifically for the game, not only sets the tone but also plays an integral role in the gameplay, as players must interact with the scales to drive the evolution of the world.

As the player advances and meets the goals, they might find themselves facing a surprising plot twist, adding depth to the narrative and leaving them questioning the true nature of the experiment they are part of.
