Mend (Short Exploration Game)

Ship broken down! Check this (abandoned?) platform for parts, if you want to get yourself flying again!

A Musical Exploration Game. Every object you pick up changes the music.

Made, thanks to Game Dev Unlocked's 7 Day Challenge.

They got me thinking in terms of simplified exploration experiences, with just enough objective to make exploration worthwhile... and no more! Just get the game out, get it shipped; game #2 can have more features.

The 7 Day Challenge encourages using the asset store to fill up your game's locations. The instructor, David, even specifically suggested that 7 days is not enough time to make something like a sci-fi base. It's not like I took it as a challenge, it's just that space is where my stories live.

Thanks to Kenney Asset Forge (available on itch) I was able to make the set pieces in this game within a few days, and keep their style (moderately) consistent.

Adventure Creator for Unity let me add the functionality. That took a few days, as I am still new to the plugin.

And the music, I composed on the dawn of the final day, in Tracktion Waveform 11.

It was heckin difficult mentally to stay on track, but the hard part is over: I've made and released a 3D game.
