Winner of Icehouse Jam 2021!

 

This is my entry for The Icehouse Jam 2021 #IcehouseJam2021 https://itch.io/jam/icehouse-jam-2021

The theme of this Jam was "An old game that you loved". I chose to make tribute to Final Fantasy 7 (PS1 version), the game that made me fall in love with J-RPG, japanese design and video games in general. You'll easily recognise a similitude with the Gold Saucer.

Walkthrough

Every new chapter of Francium is made in a different graphic style. Don't miss the other chapters! (see below)

About:

"Francium At the Golden Saucer is a comical adventure taking place in a world of robots, in a museum-city, before mankind was exterminated from the surface of the Earth. In this episode, the Fallen King of Francium, who is a little depressed, is invited to visit the amusement park The Golden Saucer. Things are fun, but will it last for long? ..."

I developed it in 3 weeks. Made with 3dsmax, Unity and Adventure Creator.

Gameplay info:

• Move with keyboard (zqsd or wasd, or arrows)
