The Boy In The Play
This was created for the Safe In Our World Mental Health Game Jam 2024. Thank you for playing!
I procrastinated pretty heavily with this one, and had a lot going on at work. I originally had some grand ideas involving more interactive gameplay, but I ended up using this project more as a cathartic way to tell some stories I rarely share. I wanted to challenge myself by doing a full 3D experience. In retrospect, I probably will stick with 2D or 2.5D in the future. Working in 3D is difficult!
I do want to make it very clear that the mental health focus is the anxiety and stress caused by being different, and how I overcame it. What I'm not trying to say is that any other disorders being represented are a "mental health issue" but rather that a lack of understanding of them can lead to stress and anxiety.
There may be some sound issues. This is due to how Godot 4.3 handles their web builds. Just pretend that it is part of the experience and that it was an artistic choice to make it sound like static sometimes.
