Well, more than 5 hours into the competition and it’s time for a progress update.

The game will be a very simple adventure game called “Still Dreaming”. I’m mainly interested in creating a piece of art that also has game elements. This won’t be the typical game, but more something to just enjoy and maybe get a good laugh out of. My main goal is to create an atmosphere surrounding the game that sucks the player into the dream world.

You’re playing as a character called “Kyle” through a set of abstract / simple puzzles trying to escape your dream. The game will hopefully reveal how you got caught in this bizarre place.

That’s the basic idea. Oh dear, there’s much to get done.

Here’s a screenshot of my progress so far:

I spent most of the first few hours working out a game concept and then setting the visual style. The visual style is heavily inspired by the amazing Sword & Sworcery. I just fell in love with the style and always wanted to try something similar.

For now all you can do is walk around. That’s it

Now I just gotta turn this into a game. I need coffee.
