Tiki the forest witch collects ingridients travelling between places using portals and uses them to craft potions in order to help people who reach out to her with letters

Inspiration

We had an idea for a long time about a game that would tell a story of the forest witch. It looks the same way as games made in RPG-maker like Hello Charlotte and Omori, because I was really fond of the design and I wanted to recreate it but from the ground, by building a custom engine in python.

What it does

You control Tiki, the forest witch, who receives letters from all over the world, because she has a reputation of being an amazing potionmaker. If someone is afraid of the dark, she will create them a shining potion, and if someone needs to protect themselves, she will craft the a fire potion. You need to collect items from all the locations and use them in potionmaking. You will need to travel to different locations and explore the map thoroughly in order to find them. The idea is to look for items which match their names in a recipe book, but unfortunately we were not able to finish it by the time of submisiion. After finding all needed ingredients, you can use the alchemy table to create what you need. Then you may use the portal to send your item and finish the quest. After that the next one begins immediately. Controls: 1) movement - arrows, 2) journal/quests - J, 3) interact - e, 4) inventory - i.

How we built it

Firstly we were following the Clear Code tutorials in order to start with pygame and implement basic mechanics, but then we went our own way by implementing inventory, potion brewing features and etc. We have created the maps in Tiled to fit in more in the idea of how we viewed the game.

Challenges we ran into

It was a bit challenging to learn all the new features of pygame at once.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

We learned a lot about teamwork and the importance of making your project sustainable and easy to change in the future. And also it was our first ever game development experience, the amount of new concepts and ways of doing things that we had to learn is just out there.

What we learned

We learnt pygame and it was the first time of game making expirience for us.

What's next for Brewing potions with Tiki!
