Details
It Seems Old and Wise was a game made for the BCIT 3 Day Game Jam. The theme was "It seems old and wise".
I wanted to try something a little different for this game, decided to focus more on the theme, story telling, and journey of the player. I wanted to try my hand using The Heroes Journey and incorporate the mechanic of losing skills as the game progressed, rather than gaining new ones.
It was a nice fit as the theme of the jam was shown twofold, in the story and in the mechanics itself - as the character got "older", the player had to be "wiser" when encountering new puzzles.
Unfortunately, time was rather limited (no pun intended) and I wasn't able to fully flesh out the mechanics as I wanted to fit the story more nicely or give the player a divergent story line as opposed to linear one found here.
