Hi everyone,
Today, I'm sharing a very first and very early prototype version of Don't Step Out.
Here's a FNABQ to kick us off (Frankly Never Asked Before Questions):
A Metroidvania platformer I've been working on for two weeks now.
No, there is more coming:
As motivated as I am for this project, I'm working solo when I have time.
No official deadline. It's done when it's done. Like Blizzard. :)
Not for the development. I've embarked on doing all the design, programming and art on my own.
I can't do music though, which should be an important part of the project.
I don't know yet if I'm going to use available tracks or work with a sound designer (anyone?)
For now, the game is about a rocky relationship with an overbearing parental figure. In which you're not allowed to step out of line, to step out of the suffocating protection of home. Unlocking the main character's abilities will symbolize personal growth and autonomy, and the story will follow the emotional evolution of the parent confronted to their offspring growing up.
More on that later!
Absolutely!
Every feedback is welcome, positive or otherwise!
Eddy
