Hi guys! Welcome to Devlog#1 of RUSA Odyssey. I am a hobbyist indie game developer learning & making games in my free time. I am making RUSA Odyssey (previously into the MAZE).
About the Game
In this game, you play as a deer, explore the unknown world. Basically, the game idea is you need to explore and find a way to the next level. The game will include simple platforming, exploring, puzzle-solving, and some interaction. It will be a casual and relaxing game.
Development
I've started the development in June 2020 but progress is slow as I do this in my free time. It is still early to set the release date but hopefully, I can finish it this year (2022).
Current state
The game is in early development. Below is the list of what has been implemented & what you can do:
• Roam & Explore Level: Currently have 8 levels (Incomplete).
• Platforming around the world to the next level.
• Collect items for puzzle solving.
• Notes system: you can read notes scattered around.
• Main menu.
Ideas & Inspiration
The ideas of this game come from video games that I like & I would like to do something like that. There is Journey, Inside, Little Nightmare, The Last of Us, Limbo, The first Tree & Lost Ember. Maybe some other games that I missed. So, my game will have some similarities to those games.
Gameplay & Environment
The gameplay of the game will be simple and easy for most players. I like the simple & mystery kind of game. I love the environment in Inside & journey & love the simple control! So, I am currently trying to recreate this kind of gameplay and environment for my game in my own style. Also, love the apocalyptic-style environment like The Last of Us!
Conclusion
In a conclusion, I might be working on this project for a long time as I'm doing it alone & in my free time. Hopefully, I can work on this until it is finished & released. Hopefully soon! I'm open to feedback and suggestion!
