Hi there fellow adventure lovers!
I´d like to introduce you to myself and my personal WIP project "Bookworms"
Above: One of many backgrounds in its work progress.
Above: Main Character Laura in the games early environments.
An audience with this King will be unavoidable...
I´m Nellie Johansson, and I create from my mind in the centre of beautiful Sweden!
The idea of bookworms started out as some loving sketches in my notebook, and then just flooded.
I needed to make a game about this little world unfolding in the pages and, being a developer, THAT is what I set out to do.
I began the actual work of Bookworms in the spring of 2015 beside my job as an hired artist at Zoink - Gothenburg.
Me at the office last summer, creating life from my mind. Mohaha! ( I still haven´t cooled down.)
I have played adventure games and loved animated movies all my life and all that which that have given me I hope to give with
Bookworms. Monkey Island, Kings Quest and many more from days gone by and Night of the Rabbit,and Blackwell from today, are all
beautiful games which have filled my head with joy throughout the years. Get caught in a universe, like when you fall right into
the wonderful world of Ghibli for example THAT is joy. I want to bring that joy to gamers in colourful 2D hand-animation.
*About the game itself*
You play as Laura, the young protagonist in our world that is suffering from an overall collapse. Society seems to slowly fall apart
with, people disapearing, no new ideas and memories fading away. But Why?
Nobody knows. In all this Laura is trying to run the family bookshop and Book restoration firm while taking care
of her sick grandmother.
One day though, Lauras world changes as a mysterious man arrives at the bookstore and leaves her with a book.
When it opens... London fades away, and Laura finds herself in a library, accompanied by the mysterious chronicler.
She finds out that there are far more worlds than ours, suffering from similar problems. Each represented by a book in the Chroniclers library.
He tells you that something is destroying the worlds from within, and he needs YOU to help him fix it.
As Laura you travel through the worlds searching for the cause of their decay, acompanied by your faithful cat Scruffy
and guided by the Chronicler and his assistants. It is set in a mostly colourful 2D setting of diferent types, and with many
characters to get to know. Want cute animals? There are bunnies! Want some muscles? There are Bikers too! Bikers and Bunnies...
Current state: In progress.
