Box Head Husband
This was created for the GameDev.TV 2024 game jam.
Inspired by the Game Boy-style Silent Hill demakes, I thought it would be fun to learn GB studio and give this a shot. It was fun to take a break from my larger project and do something smaller. I believed I could finish the whole story but it's not even close... I was able to design and plug away at the bottom of the island but it doesn't have everything I wish it had.
We follow a wife and husband who move to a small seaside town as things turn sideways. As the apocalypse begins in town your wife goes missing so you go out searching for her.
Due to a hectic work schedule being a mental health worker and having lost a lot of material on my iPad, this is what I was able to finish for the jam but I do intend to finish this project.
Here are some things planned for the following release: finish the world maps, create house interiors, and work on the puzzle aspect. rework enemy AI to create, complexity. Add more secret bosses. (At the moment there's one optional boss.)
Also, if you want to take a look at my bigger project, here's a linky link

UPDATE: I've made a few small updates which took me a bit more time :D
1- allowing you to skip the cut-scene in the intro if you spam the B button.
2- change the AI so they don't just stare at walls...
3- when equipped there is a small E to show you it's equipped.
4- fixed the final fight of this little prototype so it goes to the end scene.
5- fixed the secret boss fight and the crawlers in the area.
I got the Windbreaker jacket, but I can't equip it because when I go to my inventory, it disappears!
Thanks for letting me know! I've made an update!
