Sadly I have to say goodbye
I just got too much stuff. I did enjoy working on it, but it also stressed me because there's so much content I have scrapped and I don't think I can get it to a proper fun gameplay state with the time I got. It was just too much work for me.
I had the idea where you start as a peasant, but you wanted to be more than that. So you would've had to work your way up to become a knight by defeating a farmer boss, then a bandit boss, and a knight boss. And for every boss you defeat, you get their clothes, weapon, and of course role. I wanted there to be dialog as well, and a intro cutscene for bosses.
Too much stuff. Initially I wanted it to be a platformer too, but because of time, I ended up with waves. Also all the art I made took a bit of time, since I'm not really an artist :-)
I got a new idea while writing this though, which has the same story but different gameplay. But no, I sadly can't make it in time so I won't try. I might try after the event is over and when I got some more time on my hand, at some point.
Anyways, good luck to everyone. I've seen a lot of cool games so far, can't wait to see more when the time ends :-)
Here is what I ended with: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j8qCRwIKVUg
