I always wanted to pursue game development as a career. I took a hiatus for about 2-3 years because I didn't have good enough grades to attend college & earn a degree in game development. However recently the pre requisites changed & I was accepted to the program, I start in September of 2020! After taking a year off school once I graduated high school & not having a clue what to do with my life, I'm now super excited to turn my dream into a reality. I'm going to be entering as many jams as I can to learn as much as possible before I start earning my degree in the fall! let me know what you guys think so far! I'm basing this game off of a very trippy nightmare I had a few weeks back lol.


This is the scene when my character first wakes up & believes everything in the world is normal. (The tims cups were me testing a piece of software that generates 3D captures of physical spaces using the everyday smartphone camera, just ignore them lol)

This is what the scene will then fade too after opening the blinds & realizing hes still stuck in a nightmare. I believe that with the game being set in a nightmare it will create opportunity for a lot of unpredictable plot twists.

Looks like a fantastic game! Definitely going to play this!

Looks like it has a lot of potential! Hope it turns out well!
(Just a word of advice on the nightmare thing though - don't over use it - too many games get boring because "It was all a dreaaaaaam...!" and having it just be in a nightmare world means that it is devoid of consequences - it becomes a haunted house walkthrough with maybe a few jumpscares but nothing to invest the player because nothing matters - after all, it is just a dream. But I can't wait to see what you do with the game! :D)
