Solo project
The goal of Oboju: Masked Spirits is to find your way back to your village. You find mystical masks along the way that grant you the powers of African spirit-gods. You will encounter ungodly foes and go through treacherous terrain. Using the masks and special spices and herbs, will you be capable of defeating the enemies and dangers ahead?
This concept has inspired by a visit to the African museum in Tervuren, the african masks exhibit is the main inspiration.
What I learned: The importance of focussing on one core mechanic, prototyping should be quick and messy, try not to look at inspiration for a game too long
