Trying to think ideas for the game, I believe that Escape is a hard theme because is an open and closed theme at the same time, you have freedom in a lot of variables but you cant escape from making a game where you are Escaping from someone\/something to reach some goal, or at least I lack of imagination.<\/p>\n

I thought about making some wordplay like E<\/a>–Scape<\/a> or Esc-Ape<\/a> but don’t think it will be so cool.<\/p>\n

So, in the end, I decide to use the word like it is and make an Escape game, the first idea I had was to make something philosophical like playing a game where you want to achieve total freedom but that was impossible and the idea of the game was to transmit exactly that, total freedom don’t exists (sad game). <\/p>\n

After thinking more ideas, I decided to make something really simple and try to finish it, so my last idea is a simple game like Canabalt<\/a> where you play as a Vampire escaping from the Sun light, with some features like Robot Unicorn Attack<\/a> where you can dash in the air.<\/p>\n

Lets see what happens, maybe I get a better idea later and abandon this game to do the other one.<\/p>\n \n
