Game Jam Release


I tightened up and finished as much as I had done for this game in time for the game jam's closing. I want and hope to work on this some more so it becomes a more fully featured game. Here are some of the ideas i had for the game that didn't make it to the first release, but may be added in the future:

  • Make ghouls eat graves
  • Make ghouls attack men
  • Make ghouls emote
  • Make ghouls able to die
  • Make dynamic system for spawning men and ghouls
  • Make men spawn in at day time
  • Add more varieties of ghouls
  • Add baby stage for ghouls
  • Give player more tools to interact with
  • Add unlockable player sprites, and palettes
  • Add Original Game Boy compatibility
  • Add Opening Cutscene

Additional ideas that I might work on as well:

  • Make Super GameBoy Border
  • Add random events for ghouls to do
  • Give ability to save game

Anyway I hope if anyone is reading this they had fun with my game, it was a lot of fun making it and I learned a whole lot. The end result is definitely worth it and I still can't really believe that I actually made a game. Also if you have any ideas for features leave a comment, I really think it would be cool to expand this into a whole experience. My aim is for a dynamic kind of system where you just idly watch these little creatures do fun, random, and interesting things and play with them in various ways. I'm very inspired by the experience of playing with a tamagotchi or the pokemon amie mini games from the 3ds pokemon games.
