Creating the Game
Dating Struggles was a independent project I did for one of my Uni assignments. The project goal is to make a game about romance or love, and I decided to do this through a dating game. With pixel art style and medieval theme for environment. There was a lot of freedom in gameplay and how the game looked. All they asked was no offensive and inappropriate language or gameplay and though there was no harm in going on a date. I created a twist around the characters and instead of a simple game where they decided if they like you or not, you will have one character who is just trying to find his horse and the other who stole it. Creating conflict in the story being told. The dialog has humour and mystery to draw the players in and have a fun, while going on weird date as you talk to the unusual characters.
Level Design
I wanted to design a simple game as I didn't have much time. I did research of pixel games as they had a easy art style and made the most sense with the style of game I had come up with.
