At Season's End

A game about change, friendship and duty.

Made for the Great Spring Game Jam 2021. 

"To properly mark the end of the season, Winter must pass their role as the season's spirit guardian onto Spring. But Spring is nowhere to be found, and as Winter searches for their friend, they wander through the world and think about what brought about their separation..."

Sound on for intended experience.

Music skips around a bit, but as this was my first time implementing proper audio, I didn't have much time to implement something more elegant.

A lot of this code is courtesy of Shaun Spalding's fantastic Action RPG tutorial! This is my first time making a proper topdown game with tilesets that isn't completely half-baked, and his tutorials made my life much easier.

World notes:

Winter and Spring are two of four spirits given the role of guardians for each season. Guardians are tasked with wandering the mortal world alone during their appointed season to watch over mortals, and spend the other 3/4ths of the year in their home community. This is Winter's first season as a guardian; Spring's first season is soon to come.
