What modifiers did you use?
Fluxus: Nabbed a lot of fair use/creative commons art, including the overture to Mozart's The Magic Flute. The texturing style is also fairly "anything goes," and I wanted to see if I could get a decent result.
butts: There are some butts in here, you can see em if you try.
Perform a Blood Sacrifice: Lots of unused code for combat, AI, and dialogue.
How would you consider this game to be Pompous Trash?
It's about a glowing girl descending into an opera nightmare. But it's also a bit scuffed.
Did you accomplish your goal?
I got about halfway!
What was your goal for creating this game?
My goal was to complete something playable that was evidence of a larger project, in collaboration with my fiance, who came up with idea and who wrote the included libretto.
While I had to leave a lot of fundamental features on the cutting-room floor for now, I learned a lot and ultimately did come away with something that lasts a minute or two.

Gor ge ou s. gorgeous terrain. Music legit works real talk.
I think you're onto something neat with the overall vibe and the camera system. Color palette has the juice.
The sounds and lighting are really good. I did just jump off a cliff the moment I saw one, but just really nice composition for the scenes. I do like the prose accompaniment to the game too I feel like whether it's intentional or not it does add an additional pompous element that was kinda fantastic.
In this piece we encounter a world of grey and blue, of beauty and saddness, of allure and desolution, of fallen giants now relegated to mere supine exhalations of breath.
Verily, these fallen titans exist in naught but breath and supine repose—mere subjects for one's indifferent perambulation. And lo, the protagonist emerges, their frigid gaze a testament to a philosophy of nil admirari. Amidst the giants' prone forms, this figure ambulates wordlessly, untouched by the environment's offerings, stepping around and on top of their ravaged bodies. Who, indeed, is this enigma, this icy paragon of cruelty and disinterested eyes?
To rectify their wrongs, to save this very world, I deemed it my duty to plunge from the precipice into the abyss, thus sparing the world from their malevolence.
The Itch app is protesting - is this happening to anyone else?
What a vibe! Great sound and a menacing fantasy atmosphere - definitely my jam. The right click on mouse sometimes caused camera shenanigans but how you pulled this off so fast is crazy.
Very impressive! No idea how you pulled this off so fast.
The art and feel of the game is very cool and makes me curious about the story. Dope.
Lovely music and a wonderful environment to go with it 👏
That one picture I assume is a hint at what the combat would have been like? It looks like it would have been really cool 👌
The controls for combat are implemented! Just nothing else... yet :x
