Hey,

It is weird to post this as my first devlog type thing...A friend and I have been working on an abstract 2d platformer (which doesn't have a devlog and hasn't been shown yet), and as the winter rolled around I found it hard to work on, and it seemed...I'm not sure, but going to my day job, coming home, working on that game, going to sleep, and doing the same thing over again day in day out has me feeling a bit lost. I guess this is an attempt to recapture that. I don't know if I would call this a game, but there are certain things you'll have to do to finish. It will simply be using a button to pick certain necessary items up. This absolutely won't be fun-it isn't meant to be, I guess it is more of an abstract representation of the way I feel right now. It will be short (5 or 10 mins), and it will be ugly.



Now that I'm finished, here's a link. Just be warned, don't expect any real game elements or to have fun. It is pretty simple: left and right to move, escape to exit, mostly press "e" to interact with things.

I love the energy (or complete lack of) with the name! .../whatever.

The only thing to it, is to do it. Get a demo up and I'll give it a go  Smiley

Oh man, kind of forgot about this...well it is done.

It isn't really a game. There isn't much game-y stuff to it. More just a reflection on how I was feeling, partially in hopes that someone could relate.

Here's a link, will edit the topic to include link.

I've added a blog post to try to explain some of the reasoning behind this. The post is an possibly an exercise in hyperbole, but it is kind of tough to explain well. Maybe someone here has feels like this too?
