Description:

Hero’s Journey was created in 48 hours at a game jam hosted by NHTI. This was my second time participating in a game jam at NHTI and I had a blast working with Jake, and Chris. The theme of the jam was random number generation. So we decided to do a satirical, and dark, fantasy rpg with a randomly generated world map. The twist we gave it was: “What if the monsters you’re going around fighting are just living their lives, and haven’t hurt anyone.” As you’re fighting the monsters, they occasionally drop a diary entry that they’ve written. Each one you read makes you feel more and more depressed about what you’re doing, to the point that you can’t take it anymore.

What I did:

  • Tile Engine

  • Camera

  • Player Movement

  • Randomly generated Sword and Shield names

  • Quote Bubbles

  • Death Animations
