In class, I've been given a project to make a game about the Odyssey, covering realistic aspects of Ancient Greek culture, and the adventures of Odysseus, an Ancient Greek hero. Odysseus journeys home after the Trojan War, and all the while he faces many adversities along the way. This includes terrifying monsters, strange lands, and the wrath of the mighty god Poseidon. The primary grade for this project is creativity and quality in game design, and that is what I set out to do. I plan to publish the final game here on itch.io, and I will keep updates posted here. I'm working on the basic gameplay right now, and I have a world generation algorithm done, as well as basic textures. The player model is also complete. I plan to focus the gameplay 3rd-person exploration and platforming, and maybe some simple combat. We'll see. Anyway, here in an early screenshot of a very very very basic main menu.  Hope someone out there enjoys this! (Edit: Updated the Main Menu with more detail).

Just finished some early gameplay. 

Still working on the jumping animation off to the side, since it is still buggy and not working right just yet, but yeah, here ya go. 

Spent some time adding more detail to early Ithaca...Still can't get the jump animation working...

I finished the start/tutorial area. It's just the intro. The platforming and stuff will come in the next levels. I recorded everything the game has so far (Title Screen, Main Menu, Credits [Unfinished], and Mostly completed first level).

Level 2 is done. Level 3 is in the works. Here is some new gameplay.

The game is now complete! Play all 5 levels now for free here: The Odyssey: The Video Game by Alpha King (itch.io)
