Start scene of my GBCompo23 entry πŸ‘οΈπŸ«

Game starts like this:
Moki, a monster kid, suddenly wakes up and realizes he's almost late for school.

This will be a top down story driven RPG where your choices will matter.

I did not get enough time to do as much as I would, so this jam entry can be seen as chapter 1.

I’m making a weird thing where I build a game and use my minis and create game assets with a modified . That’s three nerd hobbies stacked. Play the the demo here: harlequin.itch.io/automatron-g

The platformer variety music asset pack in UGE format for Gameboy homebrews is coming out soon. Here's a preview of "Swimmy Soundscape" from "Large Ape Providence", if you know what I mean..

Finished that school scene this morning, phew! 😌

It took me more time than expected because of the school building but also because I reached the limit of maximum 192 repeated 8x8 tiles

That's a GameBoy limitation apparently and I learned it the hard way.. When I did try to render that scene on my GBC, it actually crashed, oops! πŸ€­πŸ˜…

I need a name for my main character

Any ideas?πŸ’‘

I've been using "monster kid" as reference name for the time I've been working on this game for now (1 month).

He is basically a monster kid. He lost his dad during a brutal war against humans. His mom is still there taking care of him.

2nd screenshot is a sprite variant where "Monster Kid" wears a cardboard box on his head.

"Humans pollute their own planet, and then they dare to complain about climate change"

This is the first secret scene of my game entry for

One month left to go.. I hope I will find time in the upcoming weeks to do as much as I can..

I started to implement conditional story flows - different paths following your answers and actions - and it is exciting to see the story getting a bit more of a thing

I need to find a name for the game and a composer..

In a world where humans and monsters are in a war, would you lie or say the truth?

My progress so far:
βœ“ 7 different scenes created
βœ“ 32 different dialogs
βœ“ 2 optional collectibles
βœ“ 1 pause menu
βœ“ 2 npcs w/ dialogs
βœ“ 1 SFX πŸ‘€

Still a lot to do... But I'm starting to feel quite confident with πŸ₯°

My (very rough) demo build for Purls of Magic, my game, is live!

Unfinished notes are on the page, noting what bits are still a mess - give it a go if you like 😊

Sneaking in bits of gamedev anywhere I can this week.

Hoping to have a demo out for folks to try on the weekend, then back to working on everything else in the backend!
