Game Jam: Doko Dog
Around Halloween time, I worked on a spooky game with ceschiii and another friend, Kyle. In Doko Dog, you play as a witch who must search for her lost dog in a dark, spooky forest filled with monsters.
The monsters are drawn to light, including to the glow emanating from the player. You can toggle the light off to hide, but you won’t be able to see where you are going. The witch can also cast a spell to fire an orb of light and draw the monsters away from you while also getting a view of what lies ahead. Only one orb can be cast at a time, so manage it carefully.
The game focuses a lot on sound as well. The dog can only be located by listening to its barking in stereo. The monsters can also be heard approaching, so keep your ears open.
I made a time lapse of the development during the game jam here.
You can play the game online here, or download it here.
