Heir of the Dog is a 2D puzzle-platformer game that I made in 48 hours in April 2021 for a game jam that I hosted, Spring 2D Jam 2021. This was the 2nd jam I have hosted and it saw over 90 games made by 300+ jammers!
This was another challenging but fulfilling project to complete in 48 hours. I designed and implemented all levels/puzzles/gameplay, made all the art, sourced audio assets, playtested/bug-fixed and polished the whole game, all while also hosting the game jam itself and being on-hand to help out my fellow jammers. This game is extra personal to me because it is inspired by my puppy Rory and places near my house, so I made extra effort to get the atmosphere right. I wanted to create a charming and interesting world for the game to take place in.
The game was made in Construct 3 engine with original hand-painted 2D art made in Photoshop. The music was composed and produced by myself for a previous project. The sound effects are from royalty-free sources. As always, this game jam was a really good learning experience for me. I am particularly happy with the level design and 2D art that I produced for this game. And of course, hosting a game jam also helped me to develop my skills in event planning, community management and more.
