Journey

Journey is a narrative- & exploration-driven miniRPG: explore a map, fight against enemies and get to know NPCs and the character you've chosen.

Overview

V0.1 is a short prototype with tutorial. Currently included:

• choose your class
• visit the shop
• (steal the weird potion)
• talk to the tavernkeeper
• fight against the rat in their basement
  After that, the prototype ends. You can choose to look at the map and fight against the 3 hidden enemies or look for the hidden camp, which will magically heal you, but starting here everything is still WIP.

Project Idea
Development of a standalone game that focuses on clearly defined core mechanics.

Focus:
• Clarity
• Gameplay feel

• Structured code and clean project organization

Optional Content
(Implement at least one)
• Local multiplayer (hot seat or multiple controllers)
• Different levels or modes
o At least 3 levels or 2 modes
• Simple tutorials or help systems

Controls

• WASD or arrows to move
(mind the hexagonal tile map: clicking left/right slightly before up/down is recommended)

Features

• Hexagon Tile Map
• inventory
