Witchhut in the forest
A downloadable game for Windows and Linux
This game was created for WeeklyGameJam 245
You are a witch, all alone in your forest hut. Collect incredients in the forest, and brew potions in your cauldron.
These potions you can then sell and buy items to gather even more incredients.
Controls:
[W][A][S][D] - Movement
[E] - Interaction
[Esc]/[P] - Open menu (when not inside of UI-overlay)
Developer notes:
Due to time constraints and my focus on learning the engine, I have neglected GameDesign for this game, so there is only very basic gameplay.
In this project, I wanted to learn multiple things at once.
Firstly, I looked yet again into Unreal's Landscape building tools, to create big open worlds. Hence this game is especially big for an GameJam-game.
Next, an Day and Night cycle. Some things for this are trivial in Unreal, some not so much.
Next, changing graphic settings. Even my smaller games caused graphic cards to scream in pain, so I wanted at least the posibility to limit the frame rate. I did include multiple settings, which I now can gradually add in future projects.
Then, on of the main points for me to learn: Foliage. How to make trees. I have gathered basic understanding for that with this game, but it takes much fine-tuning to get right.
And of course:
All assets (with exception for the Grass and Mud textures for painting the ground) were created in GameJam-time.
So all in all: Too many tasks at once for myself.
