Project Meadow is The Glowing Pond's first game currently in (very) early development. It is a whimsical survival sandbox role-playing game where you embody a fairy and claim your safe haven in the middle of a dark magical forest. Although you will encounter dangerous enemies in the forest, Project Meadow is not focused on fighting. Your fairy will have defensive abilities, but only to help them flee enemies. The main gameplay mechanics focus on gathering magical plants and the resources to grow your meadow and fill the forest with peaceful, whimsical, and glowing magic. The game is currently being developed for PC but I intend to distribute it on Nintendo Switch.

Completed steps (stuff I actually got done!)

  • 2D sprites in a 3D environment (2.5D paper sprite feel)
  • 3D Character movement with animations
  • Basic jumping mechanic
  • Basic dynamic light and shadow
  • Day/night cycle

Current steps (being actively worked on)

  • Atmospheric lighting (pretty colors!)
  • Map building (let's actually build this magical forest!)
  • 2D asset production (drawing drawing drawing!!!)

Next steps (things I'll be working on soon)

  • NPCs and dialogue
  • Health/death & respawn system
  • Magic stamina system

Long-term goals (things I'll get to eventually!)

  • Enemy system (AI aggro)
  • Skill system (magic abilities)
    • Dash (sprint)
    • Spark (stun enemies)
    • Grow (grow plants)
    • Lotus (hover above water)
  • Objectives system
