A Walk In the Park
A pre-pre-pre alpha build of a concept for a relaxing top-down game where you wander in a park while listening to music. Time got away from me before the Game Jam was over but I'm still sharing this here for posterity.
Description
Background
I was excited to participate in this year's New Year, New Jam.
With the theme of relaxation, I had an idea to have a leisurely "game" where you walk around in a park while listening to music. As you walk around, random events would happen like butterflies flying by, random nature sounds, etc.
In its current state, the game is very much WYSIWYG (What You See Is What You Get). Once you've played it for a second, you've experienced all there is...
Time got away from me before the semester started back up but I still am sharing this here for posterity. This may be something that I work on in my spare time, so who knows how it could evolve...
Possible Things to Add In Future
- A proper start menu
- Music player to select tracks
- Sprite animation
- Random events/sounds to make walking around worth it.
- Some type of metric or "score" (How long you've been walking?)
- Procedurally generated tiles so the map feels even larger
- Displaying self care or relaxation tips. (Perhaps hidden around map to collect)
- Option to walk around automatically (In keeping with the bonus part of the theme of a game that plays itself)
