ABRAXAS!

in #curie6 years ago (edited)

Here's a neat thing I wanted to share!

A little more than a year ago, my partner (@seanbon) and I wanted to make a demo for a game

It is a very simple point and click adventure featuring a young child who is trying to find her place in a world that she doesn't quite belong in....

The demo is complete and quite polished, but we were never really able to do much more with the project beyond that (production is expensive..!) It's more so an experiment in story telling, than in game design. Still, it's about an hour of 'gameplay' and it was a really fun exercise in seeing what we could come up with, independently.

You can play it if you want! We worked hard on it and it is totally free:

Here's the backgrounds and character's we had created for it!:

This is "Bird", the player character! In the game, you can chose to blend in with the locals, or freak them all out...no one in this world has ever seen anyone like her before.:

Her older sister, Meechi:

Meechi's boss, Polo:

The slightly unhinged lady who runs the pet shop in town, Fiji:

Mon Percy, the owner of the General Store:

And last but not least, Jin...the university's provost:

There's a lot of concept art that I had to do, as well...but much of it is a bit dated and...embarrassing to share. I still like these two, though!:
