Hey, I'm starting to get the hang of this. Now this week hasn't been that productive as I have been recovering from that cold but I've been slowly making Plans and I'm here to share them with you!
My plan for now is to recover from this cold as well as finally do something I've wanted to do for a while...
This week the "Metroidvania Month" Game Jam started and I plan for this to be the first game jam I actually attempt! For the past few years I've entered game jams but I never seem to get past the first herdle, until now! So come along for the ride as I tell you about Spirit Sword.
This is one of my older game concepts but I've given it a new name and a new core gameplay loop. The idea is that you play as a legendary sword who must fulfil it's own destiny and save the world while possessing a suit of armour as well as other items in the world. That's right! it's a Metroidvania meets Ghost Trick: Phantom Detective. I recently started playing that game and have found it to be a really good source of inspiration. I have a lot of ideas for possession based game mechanics, but for now I'm just trying to get a 2D platformer prototype working. I'll update you all when I have something good to show.
I wanted to get some stuff on the empty pages here but unfortunately it's going to take a while due to me doing the game jam. Hopefully afterwards it'll provide some content to put on the portfolio page!
I feel like death! ^_^ But in seriousness I'm trying my best to relax and let my body recover, but it's a challenge for me to not be doing something productive. Aside from that I finally finished The Outer Wilds DLC! It was really good. Play The Outer Wilds if you haven't already, it's an excellent game. Also as stated earlier, I've started playing Ghost Trick. It's been quite enjoyable so far, I love missile with all my heart. He is a good boy!
Anyway I think I'll wrap it up for here, I'm becoming light headed and need to lay down for a while. I want to write more words but thinking takes a lot out of me currently. Stay safe & I'll see you next week!
