🎮 Project Sigurd 

 

📓 Lore: 

It is a 2d platformer where you play as a ‘treeling’. A child of nature and technology. In a world of desolation and void of all human life, one entity stands at the top of the food chain, Sigurd. A project, based on AI, that was made to solve all problems, yet it got corrupted by human greed and turned evil, wiping out humanity and changing life as we know it. The year is 3034, and many have come before you, each with their peculiar skills, yet none have succeeded in defeating him. The closest anyone has gotten from the new sentient life forms that have formed on Terra (now known across the universe as R.O.G. - Remains Of Glory), is a former treeling, skilled in the arts of the sword, capable of manipulating his own energy. Unfortunately, he was never heard of again, presumably he failed in Sigurd's trials. You play as a treeling, with the special skill of dash, that has the mission to defeat the corrupted program. The game will follow your adventure in the trials.

🎯 Theme: 

The game aligns pretty good with the theme(Republic of Gamers – 20 Years of Innovation). From the title, Sigurd, which, although from the blood of Odin, became orphaned and raised by a blacksmith, gained the title of legend by slaying the dragon Fafnir, much like how the R.O.G. program, developed by Asus, started as something small, unknown but rose to innovate the gaming field, all the way to the final boss, which has 1 hp, meant to represent that the challenge at the end isn’t as hard as the journey itself. More so, the main character doesn’t have a name because everyone can become a legend with hard work, dedication and perseverance, a lot like Asus, when the R.O.G. program wasn’t doing so great, didn’t give up and continued onward, now becoming the leading team in innovating the gaiming world.

𓈒∘☁︎ Concept:  

The game relies mostly on the basic functions of moving in the 2d platform scene but adds a dash mechanic that keeps things fresh and interesting and even allows for speedrun attempts.
