Untitled Personal Project

This is my first ever attempt at actually creating a functional project in my own time. I only have loose threads of ideas swirling through my mind and am just playing it by ear.

This game will simply be a culmination of things that interest me, focusing mainly on a handheld, gameboy art-style. My main inspiration for this project are the themes of Japanese shinto culture, with a focus being placed on the Hokkaido region, somewhere along the coast in a village near a lighthouse.

My aim is for the player themselves, as well as the character they play as, to be a foreigner to this land, exploring their surroundings and uncovering things on their own. This game may or may not have combat of some sort, again I'm just winging it, however I know for sure that my main focus will be on exploration.

Contrary to many games that this short description may sound similar to, I want the focus of my game to be on simplicity, with a focus on relaxation revolving around casual gameplay.

I hope to update this dev-blog as progress comes along, and would love to talk to anyone interested in this :)
