About
And so another jam has rolled around! I just wanted to have fun this time. I went into this project being super-indulgent. I focused a lot more on making tiles and adding nods to many of the great people I've met in the community.
I had a lot of fun working on the graphics. Story and gameplay… Not so much. They gave me plenty of trouble this time, and I'm not really happy with how rushed the ending feels.
If you're looking for an easier time where you go from point A to B with trainers along the path, and a lot of chatting, this is your game. Hopefully, it's still an enjoyable, playable experience!
Summary
In this game you play as Octavia, a budding psychic trainer. Octavia and mother have come to town on a mission - her grandmother has passed away, and now the house must be cleaned up. While Octavia is a little too young to help with many of the tasks around the house, her mother and the strange real estate agent will come up with errands for her to run.
Optional Theme - Simplicity
This time, I used writing to convey the theme of simplicity. There are a few key key ideas that pop up through the story:
- A child's less complicated way of viewing the world, people, and problem-solving
- Characters with murky relationships that Octavia struggles to interpret
- A simple villain thwarted by a simple solution
- The word "simple" and its synonyms also make a cameo every now and again
Features
- Gen 8 Pokémon
- The ability to read people and Pokémon's thoughts
- Plenty of sidequests
Known Bugs
- The PC's visuals sometimes act a little wacky when moving around Pokémon. (Their icons vanish, layer incorrectly, etc.)
- The tall grass likes to act wacky with its priority/bush flag
- Apple pie doesn't always like to work
