this is ski butters. it is a top-down 2D turn-based game in an abandoned world. it is made in my own engine, written in python, using the pygame library. the character will have an inventory, level up as they defeat monsters, and unlock skills. throughout the game, the player will experience moods that you will need to take into account as you play. 

the controls are currently directional keys for movement, "z" as an a button, "x" as a b button, "enter" as a start, and "r-shift" as a select the only way to exit the game as of now is with "alt" + "f4".

if you are interested in becoming more involved with the development and discussion of the game, i've created a dedicated discord. it is there that i collect suggestions and bug reports, as well as host discussions for the game.

this is my very first game and it is early in development, and this is the very first released build of my game. i've thrown this together because of the support i've been receiving from my friends. it is nothing substantial. it consists of only the player's apartment. there are a bunch of text boxes to give you something to look at.  there are no sounds in the game yet. just a basic thing to get something out there.

my game will always be free, and i will only use free tools to develop it. to reiterate, i will never spend a single penny developing this game. my goal is to create a testament how accessible video game development is as a form of art. your donations won't go towards development. i will probably pay rent, or buy candy.

thank you.
