Using the ‘Adventure Creator’ plugin for Unity I was able to make this little test point-&-click game ‘DEGEN Adventure’. It takes a couple minutes to play through it, but as a vertical slice for something and learning from scratch (thanks to the good documentation, support forums and 2D Primer video), I’m pretty stoked I even managed to make anything, as Unity kind of scares me. Given that I managed to learn TVPaint earlier this year and that too scared me, I figure maybe I can learn a bit of actual gamedev.
You can play the game for free in your browser on Itch.io here:

If you don’t want to play through it, here’s a playthrough video:
The old 90s Lucasarts point-&-click adventure games like Sam & Max: Hit the Road, Day of the Tentacle, Monkey Island 1&2, and Indiana Jones and the Fate of Atlantis, are some of my favourite types of games. I recently just played through Monkey Island 3: The Curse of Monkey Island for the first time, on iPad using SCUMMVM using my GOG.com (Good Old Games) download of the game, and it’s incredible; an old game that still holds up incredibly well today. Might even be my GOTY, lol.
Anyways, I’m planning to experiment more with Adventure Creator.
Bye.
Nice Nice Nice. Cool music too
