Alight - A tale of Pumpkins

In a land of pumpkins and a time of magic, lived a wizard who loved to travel. Once on a cold evening, he grabbed a few twigs and logs he had found in an abandoned house. As he pronounced the words “Alight, Alight”, magic poured out of his hands. The pile of wood infused with magic began to sparkle and flames appeared out of nowhere. The wizard had a fire for the night and after a good rest, he went on with his journey.

 Some time had passed since the wizard was here, but the fire did not lose his flame, magic stayed with it. One day, after wanting to move for so long, the fire had a thought :  “What if I flew myself in a pumpkin ?”. Strangely enough, this is the start of your journey.

Alight is a 3D puzzle platformer game about a magic flame. This fire has the capacity to possess pumpkins, it can throw itself from one pumpkin to another. During the game, you will control different pumpkins. Each one is unique and has a special ability.
The player will have to find how to progress in his quest and choose the right pumpkin for the right situation.

This game was made for the end of the Bachelor’s Degree in Computer Graphics at the Haute Ecole Albert Jacquard (Namur, Belgium).
