A downloadable game for Windows and macOS

My aim for this project was to both focus on areas of game design I enjoy and try new things! I most enjoy creating 2D textures so I put the most effort into those, making sure they kept the watercolour style I outlined in my Moodboard. I also wanted to try out using different shaders to further improve the look of those textures. Lastly I also really wanted to expand my coding skills, including new aspects of coding not learnt in class.

Design/Features

- Shaders that enrich the art style

- Polished camera work, lighting and composition

- VFX such as particle effects and post effects

- UI and menus

- Interactable elements

- Dynamic/responsive audio

- Complete playable experience

(Main focus is Shaders/Textures and Audio but in the end had all these elements)

Controls

- WASD to move

- Left click to interact

- Enter to exit interactions (And start the game)

Other Info

All interactions are technically optional ie I didn't code anything to stop you from ignoring them (Had to cull that out) but they provide the story of the game and the last one is what ends the game, so at the very least don't skip the last one!
