Process Development

This game is my first game on Unity and any other platform. As a kid and an adult, I have always been drawn to story-based dar, mystery-themed games rather than action so I wanted to create a game that I would like to play. I had some trouble coming up with the initial concept but I knew I wanted to create a 2D game. With my friend's help, the concept was decided as well. Then I started searching for a sprite pack that can fit the dark-fantasy theme of the game. Forest Sprite Pack was around $15 but it was certainly worth it. I enjoyed placing the beautiful sprites on top of each other and creating an appropriate environment for my scenes. For my main character and NPCs, I have designed, illustrated, and animated my own sprites, which was a mix of both creative and technical processes. The game required too much coding for my liking and with having no prior coding experience, I have struggled quite a lot. Luckily tutorials on youtube pulled me through it and I ended up with 3 scenes to use on my trailer. The rest of the trailer includes some hand-drawn animation and other story-related illustrations. I have also managed to find a well-fitting royalty-free soundtrack for the trailer after a long browsing session.

Overall, I am proud of how much I managed with no prior knowledge of most of the software I have used for this game and I would love to expand on this project in the future.
