Overview
The Voice is a turn based game developed in under 48 hours for GMTK Game Jam 2020 using Godot Engine 3, which was my first game jam. The player must win a tournament by collaborating with the in-game character Bob. The player can command Bob to perform actions such as attack or heal but Bob may choose not to listen. In order to ensure that Bob will listen, the player must build a good relationship with him.
Design
The theme of the jam "Out of Control" and all of the participants must adhere to the theme. It was up to the participants on how to interpret the theme, and so we decided to interpret the theme as "losing control of your character".
Our interpretation opens up quite a lot of possibilities for the game. We had some ideas about making it a top-down or side-scrolling 2D game, but ultimately we went with a turn-based game as we want to avoid similar concepts that might also be used by other participants.
The project was developed in a group of 4. In this project, my focus was on programming the overall mechanics of the game, while also assisting with the development of visual assets.
