Well, more than 5 hours into the competition and it’s time for a progress update.<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

That’s the basic idea. Oh dear, there’s much to get done.<\/p>\n

Here’s a screenshot of my progress so far:<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

For now all you can do is walk around. That’s it \":)\"<\/p>\n

Now I just gotta turn this into a game. I need coffee.<\/p>","time":"August 20th, 2011 12:23 am","title":"Still Dreaming"}
