Hello I am Zarovski
I’m a 25 years old male, living somewhere in eastern-europe.
My hobbies are: Computers(especially old ones), linux, programming
I have stayed more than 6 months inside an orthodox monastery where I had this idea of making a game. I want my game to be out fast, but I don’t want to sacrifice the quality, I want it to be a piece of art, a game that makes you ask questions about life, society, authority, your own purpose etc.
What I have in my mind for now is:
- It will be a 2D platformer.
- Atmosphere is the most important thing!
- It will have pixel art graphics (Spelunky style)
- The choices you make in the game will affect the environment (Dishonored style)
- Every Character you meet has a background and a specific personality, you will see this in a GUI menu, something like serious sam’s main menu
There is a game on steam called Coma. But before this game was on steam, it was a flash game. I have played this 5 minute flash game back in the days and it stuck with me. Something so simple, yet so intense. That game is the inspiration behind my idea and I really recommend you to play it.
I want to start something on social media, but I have no idea where to begin. The whole idea is to post the game progress so that people will give me the motivation necessary to finish it(I’m all alone in this guys, and my life isn’t easy already, so I will need a lot of support). Maybe you can tell me where to start and what to do, point out some guides in this direction.
The game will be free to download, and you will have the options to donate if you want. I’m not making this for money, so don’t even tell me about things like “profit,financial stuff etc”, cause I don’t care about that aspect.And finally, I hope you guys can point me in the right direction, to find the necessary resources to finish this project.
Last but not least, I’m using pygame to make it. Please don’t suggest other engine, I love pygame and I am willing to extend it if I can.
