Shade

Shade is a 2D metroidvania platformer game made in GameMaker. The game was developed as a personal project, but a shortened, linear version was submitted for the “Be Relatively Evil” themed Shacknews Jam 2019.

Note: The itch.io page contains a shortened and shallow version of the game meant as a submission for the game jam. The game in its current state has much more depth and includes an extensive inventory and stat system.

Development

Very early prototypes showing movement and shapeshifting, which is not included in the jam submission

Retrospective

I would like to come back and further develop Shade at some point with all the knowledge and experience I have of game development now, and will most likely start with a new project in Unity.
