Life on the Rope

WARNING : This project has been produced for a school project and may contain bugs.

Life on the Rope is a proof-of-concept made in less than 24 hours (spread over 3 days) for an in-house game jam at my school.

The constraints were :

• Team: the teams were made up of a developer (me), two 2D artists and a 3D artist.
• Genre: the game had to be a platformer.
• Perspective: the game had to have 3D backgrounds and 2D game elements.
• Theme: a random theme was assigned to each team -> ‘Ancient Greece’.

This game is/would be an adventure game inspired by Paper Mario. The player can switch to first-person view to aim and fire your bow to activate objects.

It features one "tutorial" level with very simple puzzles.

Additional notes:

• Due to time constraints and other issues related to modelling, we couldn't include 3D assets.
• Ropes were supposed to be included as part of the gameplay, but due to time constraints was used as decoration instead. The health bar and title of the game is also a nod to this cut content.
