Flower

Game jam:

This video game was made for the GMTK Game Jam 2024. The theme was "Built to Scale".

Story:

The story is about a girl who comes from a small, peaceful village that would have been visible from the starting cliff. This village has been terrorized by a fierce dragon and the girl gardener was chosen to face it. She is frail and sometimes afraid, but also daring and she doesn't give up on saving the ones she loves and cares. Therefore, she begins the journey to find the song that would make the dragon fall asleep (inspired in a sense by the plot from Link's Awakening).

About:

This is my first video game that I can actually call playable. And I know the game has a lot of flaws. It has no music and SFX, the cut mechanic has no impact on the level whatsoever, there are numerous bugs (some of which have not yet been discovered by those who have commented about it on the submission page), I only wonder why the program is so large and also, I didn't have time to make an end screen for it (if you get stuck at the final cave and you want to find all music notes, just restart the game and use the gained knowledge to speed through as I can get to the cave from the start in less than 30 seconds). Maybe after the game jam, if I have time, I could make the improvements I was planning to do and even more, but the next college year will start soon enough and I haven't finished my assignments for the summer school just yet.

The core idea of the game was designed in two days because, at the time, I wasn't able to work on it and the other two days, I coded the program, which most of the time was spent trying to figure out a way to make the flowers climbable and then, be able to grow and cut them. It is based on the Godot tutorials from Brackeys, from which the pixelated font is taken, and the jam was me trying to learn Godot, so you can understand now why the game is so simple and short.
