Kitsune Plaza

This game is
CURRENTLY IN DEVELOPMENT
as part of Metroidvania Month 23 gamejam!

UPDATE: I've submitted the demo build for the Metroidvania Month gamejam, and while still incomplete in many ways, I think it's a good enough submission for a gamejam (I hope).  

UPDATE 2: Uploaded a v0.1 bugfix for the demo. Funny how some game breaking bugs just looooove to pop up at the very last minute. Some turrets didn't fire properly, and a room transition simply did not want to trigger. Hopefully I got them fixed now. Crossing fingers, paws, and tails.

TERRORISTS HAVE TAKEN OVER KITSUNE PLAZA!

Made for the original Game Boy Game Boy Color, KITSUNE PLAZA is a metroidvania game mostly inspired by a film you may have watched.

Take on the role of WILEY, the reluctant off-duty cop who now has to go against the odds inside a terrorist-held skyscraper.

You are trapped in the newly built Kitsune Plaza, a towering skyscraper that is soon to be the headquarters of the powerful Kitsune Corporation. You were in the washroom when you heard gunfire.

Call it misfortune, call it luck. Now you're the only person the terrorists haven't taken hostage. They aren't even aware of your presence.

What are the terrorists up to? Are they threatening to kill the hostages? What do they actually want?

Starting with no weapons and no way to communicate with anyone outside the building, you must make your way from room to room, floor to floor, collecting supplies and gathering intel to uncover the terrorist's dastardly plot.

Only you can sabotage their ill-mannered schemes and save the day!

PLAYING THE GAME

A Game Boy rom is also provided for download and is playable with an emulator (I recommend SameBoy) or on real hardware with a flash cart.

Both the playable web demo and ROM file will be updated at the end of every day throughout the duration of the gamejam (Feb 15 - Mar 15, 2024).

DEVELOPMENT

I'm making this game mostly solo. I do all the game design, scripting in GB Studio, and graphics.

For sound, I am going to need help with the music but I haven't reached out to anyone about it yet. (On that note, if you're a musician familiar with hUGEtracker and want to contribute to the project, feel free to reach out!)

Craig Henderson has joined my team to contribute the soundtrack! Woohoo!
