Void Game Concept
GODOT WILD JAM #69
Modeled for the Godot Wild Jam theme “void,” I designed and developed a game concept for an atmospheric puzzle-adventure game set in a mysterious, otherworldly environment. The game plunges players into a surreal, dark landscape where they must navigate through puzzles and uncover the secrets of the world.
"Void" exemplifies my ability to develop compelling basic game concepts that combine unique gameplay elements with immersive narrative and visual design. This project highlights my proficiency in using the Godot Engine and GDScript to create engaging experiences while learning a new programming language and development platform within days.
The Void game concept was a project that applied my skills in game design, programming, and digital art. Using the Godot Engine, I assembled both the code and visuals for the game, writing the core functionality in GDScript. To craft the game's unique aesthetic, I used Adobe Illustrator to design pixelated character frames and environment blocks. With this project, I aimed to create an engaging concept and atmospheric player experience while testing my ability to merge programming aptitude with artistic vision.
Game Setting
In this game concept, players find themselves in a mysterious realm filled with floating enemies, shadowy structures, and ethereal light sources. The environment is designed to evoke a sense of isolation and curiosity. The environment blocks are designed to be interchangeable and easy to place, making map-creation a quick process.
Gameplay Mechanics
Players control a pixelated character initially unequipped with any weapons or armor. The plan for the game is to challenge players to think creatively and strategically, using their abilities to progress through increasingly complex levels. This concept is developed with basic battle mechanics between a player and enemy.
Visual Design
"Void" features a minimalist pixel style with a monochromatic color palette, highlighting the contrast between light and dark. The haunting visuals are complemented by an ambient and dark environment that enhances the game's eerie atmosphere.
