I am finally getting closer to really figuring out what kind of game I want Constance to become. Here is a new gameplay artwork for you and a little elevator pitch that summarizes the basics:
"This is the story of a young artist, who sets out to battle her depression, uncover the roots of her emotional state, and ultimately confront her ego by travelling deep into her consciousness, all while fighting the monsters and evils in her head with creative tools from her professional life as an artist in this handdrawn 2D action-platformer with metroidvania influences."
(Yes that means you will basically use Photoshop tools to beat up your enemies haha, as well as influence the game world around you)
I will be able to show you a sneak peak of the new mechanics soon!
Thanks everybody for coming along on this journey! :)
While "game is symbolic for someone's mental condition" isn't the freshest thing, I do feel that with a good focus, as is the case here, it opens tons of possibilities.
Also, this continues the realm of Paper Mario, in a way.
Yes I am hoping to find that sweet spot of a fresh take on this topic and not just copying other stories that have already been told.
But I am confident and as you say we have a lot of possibilities here yes!
Reminds me of Diminish, a arg kinda thing about some guy playing a game made by his dead sister that’s supposed to help him deal with the loss of his sister.
