Adventures of a Retired Coal Sprite: Part 1 Origins Game

Inspiration

When I saw the prompt for renewable energy and saw all the different forms of energy, I thought of making a video game. Simply, there were 4 different types that could correspond to 4 different regions. I thought of making coal and other fossil fuels the villain who pursues our 'coal sprite' (inspired by Spirited Away) on their journey to set up renewable energy.

What it does

It follows the origin of Remy, the coal sprite's journey and how they started wishing to set up renewable energy. It's built in a point and click style (although gameplay isn't as present in the first installment).

How we built it

I built it through Scratch and completed the art through iArtbook

Challenges we ran into

I didn't realize the hackathon started 3 days prior so I was on a serious time crunch with no teammates. My project was rushed and didn't have quite as much content as I wished it to have.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

The art style felt fitting.

What we learned

I learnt how to animate in Scratch.

What's next for Adventures of a Retired Coal Sprite: Part 1 Origins Game

Hopefully, the adventures of Remy can be completed with music, voice acting, and more steady art. More of the regions and actual gameplay will be unlocked.
