Since Folo Hearts is set to be released this coming July 3rd, that means that it's time for the second 1GAM (One Game A Month) to commence! As with Folo Hearts, this next game will have a focus on simplicity, but with a twist.
And as with Folo Hearts, I would always go back to the paper and pencil combination for helping me brainstorm and sketch.
If you look at the sketches, you might be able to figure out how the game plays out. And if you do, you might then be wondering... What is that about? Why is the game's background dropping on top of your character?
Let me ask you a question. Have you ever felt that there were times when you were under a lot of stress? Now imagine if the world above was falling down on you. How does that sound?
And that is my inspiration for YYYYY. Why is the game called YYYYY? Well I will leave that to your intepretation.
As mentioned before, in YYYYY, the game's background will drop on your character. To prevent that from happening, each colored background will have its own close button at its edge.
Tapping on the orange close button will allow you to close the background that it is in. But just as there are many things in life that can be stressful, there are also many different colored backgrounds that will require you to close them.
Pretty unusual gameplay right? You can also say that it is a manifestation of a person's mental state. While there are many things that could fall on you, there are also things that you could do to prevent that from happening.
And so that's day one of crafting YYYYY. Be sure to check back for more blog posts on YYYYY's progress!
