Age of the. Light

Hello, thank you for havinga  look at our Leeds Game Jam game. Below is a brief description of what our aim of the submission was.

The prototype has been inspired by the brief produced by Age of The. organisation. That rooted in the queer scene of leeds. 

We came up with a basic gameplay concept where you meet and talk to others to gain power-ups, each represented by a different colour, as you make your way through and talk to more people, you light the world up with colour and gain extra powers.

This idea fits in nicely with my own experiences of learning about my own queerness and disabilites. The world without others with that experience often feels dull and colourless, however talking to others and learning about their experiences can bring colour to that world and help gain control of your own being, this fits in very well with the games mechanics.

Early concept prototype: Player (in the centre) has picked up many power-ups, represented by the coloured lights, the other NPC has the “purple” power-up, talking to this NPC lets you gain that ability.

Thank you for your time.
