Boss Battle
The Final Project Before The End
Well. I’m almost there. This post is meant to talk about the final project. I’m surprised with myself, to be honest. I thought I would continue off of my old project due to curveballs and life shenanigans that got in the way, but I’m rather delighted to be making a new game.
I decided to partner up with my previous artist, Stephanie, as I thought we worked well together, and her art is to die for. Since we were allowed to expand our group to four members, I reached out to see if anyone was interested. Fortunately, I was able to recruit another artist, Julie. Initially, I told the group I wanted to build a digital escape room. With nothing else in mind, I wasn’t sure where we would go from here. But lucky for me, I was working with a pair of wonderful artists. It was their idea to go the Alice in Wonderland theme, and their art is both fitting and beautiful.
As of today, November 30, I have made decent progress. I can move between the three rooms: foyer (starting point), the dining room, and the Queen of Hearts’ bedroom. In both the dining room and bedroom, I have puzzles working. The next step is to have a piece of a key appear at the completion of each puzzle. I have two more puzzles to code as well as building an inventory, and then the game is complete. If there is time, I know the artists wanted to create a home screen with some backstory.
That’s the progress I’ve made as of now. Hopefully, I come back and edit this post with a final prototype. Until then, enjoy playing Alice’s Castle Escape.
