The Story
I want the story of the game to revolve around the small seed character you play trying to rid their world of pollutants that have infected some of its kind. Starting in a mushroom area and exploring to many different locations like a more traditional forest, the inside of a tree, and a burning forest. I plan to also make the character explore parts of the human world in abandoned cities and structures that have been destroyed by horrific conditions of the environment.
Development
The development of the game is still currently going as this is mainly a small demo of a hopefully larger complete work. I plan to make this game a meteriodvania focused mainly on movement. I've seen many games that have implemented many movement mechanicals that either feel limiting because of how often you use the mechanics or feel disruptive by making the mechanic bound to a uncomfortable key because of the amount of controls. I wanted to litigate those issues by making wall running, vaulting, and spring-boarding (all the complex movement mechanics added thus far) bound only to space bar which makes the game run smoothly and feel comfortable and easy to jump around and preform complex tricks without needing a mess of inputs.
