Intro to the Colony & Aurora Game Studio

Hi All, 

In late 2023, I decided that in 2024 I would learn a new programming language and tool to begin my game dev journey. I then investigated a few game making tools. I worked in Unity many years ago and Clickteam Fusion which both were great but stumbled onto Godot and ran with it due to being a better fit for me.

Fast forward to February 18th 2024, I started to put my plan on paper, eventually excel and finally landed on Google Sheets as I can update my design doc and sprint planning on the go!

So let me introduce my game with the working title of "The Colony". The Colony takes place in the future where aliens and laser rifles are the norm. The protagonist you play as just had a nuero-implant installed in your head and are awoken in a prison cell but a major event happened that affords you the opportunity to escape.

Gameplay is a top/down action adventure game like Zelda from the NES/SNES days with a mix of surviving the night with your trusty 6 shooter. You can interact with NPCs and your own personal A.I. called Iris. Iris provides you with guidance but along your journey, you pick up items, solve puzzles and beat bosses all to find Dr. Elara Vega. 

Anyhow, I posted a 5 minute gameplay video to help gather feedback on my prototype game as I'm 45 days into development.

Kind Regards, 

Aurora Game Studio
