A Game Idea's Journey

Round 3 Submission! Challenge was to tell a story and not use any art.  I will be honest and say the story is a bit whack but it’s what I ran with to get something put together in a limited time.  You play as a game idea eventually maturing into a game?

Good luck!

WASD to move.  Navigate through a story describing the Game Idea's Journey from "figment" to fully realized game.

Avoid the naysayers, bugs, and other challenges!

The following were areas I focused on from a Game Dev learning perspective with this jam:

-Using the Construct 3 ProUI Plugin for UI elements and control of dialog boxes and other elements.

—Plugin: https://aekiro.itch.io/proui

-Maintaining arrays of dialogue for different scenes and presenting it to the player so you can go forward or backward through your scene.

-Incorporating voice over audio.  I had access to a great audio pack through an Asset bundle I had purchased previously.

—Asset Pack: https://assetstore.unity.com/packages/audio/sound-fx/voices/game-character-voice-bundle-133901

-Continuing to make use of and get comfortable with my lighting effect (which is a gamble! I have had some users / bugs depending on OS or device where the positioning is off.  If you have this problem, please let me know if you are using a MAC)

The story itself is inspired by the typical “Hero’s Journey” plot arc.

I would have continued maturing it but we just our baby arrive! So game dev is on pause for a bit.

Thanks for playing!
