Game Jam

This was originally created for the 20 Second Game Jam 2023.

The game focuses on the final boss fight of the hero's mission and its aftermath.

The hero is as ready as they can be, carrying with them important relics and items collected through their journey. Now it is up to the player to decide how their tale ends and uncover the hidden story of the world around them.

During the game jam, four different game engines were used before settling on GB Studios. Those prototypes were still useful for planning out the game's structure and editing the story.

The Game Jam required the game to not exceed 20 seconds but they did allow multiple runs of the game and cutscenes. With the game building up in narrative complexity, I had to make a decision. Cutting the game down to better fit the requirements, or going ahead to make the game as envisioned.

Although this game wouldn't have been made without the game jam in the first place, I didn't want the game to be half of what it could be. I took my chances and continued onwards.

The game was submitted and a lot of players enjoyed playing this not-quite-20-seconds game.

In the future, I do plan to return to this project and create a full length game. Until then, enjoy this game jam version of the hero's final battle.
