Game Jam 2: When to Go
A downloadable game for Windows
A small game made for the "My First Game Jam: Winter 2020".
The theme for this game jam was "Cold" so my team and I developed the prototype for a game that uses a colder climate as the setting while we learned how to use the Adventure Game Studio. We used this game jam as an opportunity to branch out into other game development programs for our GAME 420 class.
The game is a small demo for the very beginning of a sierra/verbcoin style 2D horror game based around Native American legends, specifically the Wendigo. You are a journalist exploring a mysterious mountain range in the remote Canadian wilderness. You are investigating the mysterious disappearances of an entire expedition crew along with a few hikers. A total of 13 people have completely vanished without a trace., and you're going to find out what happened to them by digging up clues in an abandoned campsite nearby the base of the mountain range.

My feedback
Advantages:
1. The story seem interesting. I wish to find out more, also, I liked how environment tell something as well (a torn up tent, for exepmle)
2. I like the concept of solving puzzles (especially liked the Morse code one))
3. I like the style - there are a lot of details, the scenes are picturesque and deep.
Disadvantages (and propositions):
1. There is something wrong with proportion - maybe hero should get smaller when he goes towards the background, so he doesn't get bigger than the house.
2. There are lots of bugs - Sometimes hero won't move, sometimes things from the tent fall twice, and sometimes the puzzle son't work (it says that I solved it but nothing after that changes).
3. There is no music - I had to add it in the vid, it was not hard but made a nice addition to the gameplay)
Overall: I liked the idea and I see the potential, but there is still a lot to be done.
