During the 2019 Game Jam, we used the prompt "What home means to you" to come up with game pitches. I made a pitch around the idea you're surrounded by a storm that is closing in on you and you have a limited time to collect the items that mean the most to you. The player has to prioritize what they want to keep.

Started by determining the pillars of gameplay: Explore, Collect, Build.

​

Each round is randomly generated. I designed a number of predetermined floating island templates that would be spawned in random locations across the map. Each island had places where Memorabilia could spawn.

​

While the player is exploring, they can collect the resources to later customize their house when they're safe from the storm.

​

While other members of our team took my blueprint and made the mechanics. I designed pixel art for the Memorabilia.
