    I took a two-week break from my current game project (“Twin Towers”), to experiment with a few ideas for my submission to Adventure Game Jam 2023 on itch.io. Just barely made the deadline 😀 My ongoing adventure game project is eating up a ton of time, even though it isn’t even particularly large in scope.

    Having done some smaller games, it is time to start something bigger and better! I am currently working on an action adventure title using Unreal Engine, involving a slightly nerdy fox lady named Amy, in a world populated by animals and robots in peaceful coexistence. There’s an epic story, of course, which I already had to divide into three parts to arrive at a manageable project size. At the time…

    This is my submission for the GameDev.tv 2022 10-day Game Jam – first game jam ever. It’s been intense, but totally worth it! You can download a Windows executable (and the Unity source code, if you’re interested) at the above link, or play the game in your web browser by clicking on the image below: click on the image to open the game in a new window – webgl-enabled browser…
