"One day, you're walking down the path that leads around the lake you live off of, you walk this path almost every day to get home from work. But today, something peculiar happened. As you walk along, you catch a glimpse of something out of the corner of your eye. As it turns out, it appears an abandoned rowboat has washed up on shore. Being the adventurous type, you decide to take the scenic route. You mount the strange vessel, and begin to row toward the direction of your home. after a minute or two of rowing you begin to realize that you haven't actually made any sort of progress toward your destination. But you have, gotten farther from the shoreline you originated from. A slight sense of dread creeps into your core as you paddle harder and harder, desperate to make any sort of headway. after a minute or so of panicked paddling, the shore you came from is now barely visible, while your destination appears no closer then when you started. It is now very apparent, that you are stuck on a lake that doesn't intend on letting you go easy."
This is a simple, 2D, Infinite runner style game with a little (And I mean A LITTLE) survival mechanics as well. I wanted to go with a pretty simple game so I could focus mostly on honing my skills with Gimp, making art assets and whatnot. perhaps if I have enough time left over I'll even try my hand at making my own music for the game (O.O)
Everything I've made for the game so far is shown in this one Gif.
Considering it took me like, three hours to do this, that's not bad... wait what am I saying? that's terrible! lol! well I suppose practice makes perfect! \('u')/
Well until next time I guess. That's it for day one for me! I'm outta here!
This is kinda what you can expect from the finished menu, though this isn't the finale draft. I'll probably change it a bit, though for the most part I'm pretty happy with it. Mostly the grass and the shadow's for the tree need work.
