"How are You and Her?" (tentative title) is a game in which you play as a couple that, at first, seems inseparable. They are two peas in a pod. Perfect for each other.
Or so it seems...
As the game progresses, the story takes several dark turns, and raises questions about what truly makes a person happy in life.
The story is told through collectible snippets of text scattered throughout the levels. It is also conveyed through the interactions between the two characters, the level design, and the music.
This is going to be my first game that I'm making completely from scratch. All assets will be original content, from the art to the sound effects.
Being my first original game (and going at it solo), I realize this is a pretty ambitious goal. Hopefully the minimalist art style (inspired by Baudot code) will ease the pain a little bit, but it does add some work in terms of personifying the characters and making them people the player actually cares about.
So far I have tiles made for easy level design, and a few basic animations for the characters.
I'm looking forward to working on this project throughout the summer. It will be made in GameMaker.
Planned release date is August 20th.
