Kaoamaru Kaiju

Our land...
Devastated and bleak...

And then for progress...
Devastate somewhere else?

We can't even protect our own.

We are too many. Numerours... Uncontrollable...

The Planet is Crying.

A short, dark interactive story, where the Kaiju Kaoamaru will arise (Kaiju, from Japanese "strange beast". From my point of view, "planet protectors").

Visuals inspired by PS1 games and Half-Life.

Production notes:

• Game made in 72h for Ludum Dare 46, theme: Keep it Alone.
• I worked alone and made all the graphics, models, sounds, music and code during the Jam.

What went wrong:

• I planned 6 endings and 3 gameplay mechanics, but the scope was too big.
• I spent too much time adjusting the intro and outro cameras, and connecting all the dots, this is where the bulk of time was invested, so I couldn't implement the gameplay mechanics, ironically. So call it an interactive movie :)
