Paranlusionary Release
2D Story Adventure Platformer created for the Adventure Jam 2023, this game was made in two weeks and it showcases different mechanics along with a mysterious storyline. The story is about you waking up one day and finding out that Nela is gone, you set out to try to find her and end up in a cave that takes you to a mysterious realm that you cannot get out from, you find monsters, wizards and all sorts of creatures coming your way you need to gain skills to fight them.
Starting with the movement I wanted to make sure the movement is as smooth as possible, I wanted the player to feel fluidity throughout the game without it feeling roboty or clanky like most platformer movements.
The first cutscene of the game that sets the bases of the story and hooks the player in, was made by using the Unity timeline feature I wanted to make sure the scene feels as real and emotional as possible and wanted to showcase the main character's sadness for losing Nela
Now to the actual gameplay, I started with the level design and ended up with three environments, the default cave, purple area which contains the puzzles to unlock the final red area which reveals a big plot twist, meeting new characters that give a story a big spike. I created 2 monsters so far, the magic bat and the electric plant, the player needs to fight them and find keys in order to unlock new areas.
For the visuals I used post processing, some camera and animation tricks, for one of the parts that most developers disregard are sound effects, I made sure there are sound effects for most interactions and made sure they sound very nice.
Unfortunately the game is short due to being busy with other things, stay updated by following my itch.io page as the game will be updated in the future.
