[AdvJam2019] [Juanjo - Python Blue] NUMEN: The Path of the Gods

First topic message reminder :

Well, this time I move away from horror and darkness and I would like to create a very short adventure game (1st person) focused in exploration of the environment with an original story and simple but logical puzzles. Beautiful environments and without fear of dying!

The original soundtrack is being composed by Python Blue (many thanks!).

TITLE:
NUMEN
The Path of the Gods

STORY
The gods have always helped the Curugan people when they needed them. Diseases, famine, natural catastrophes... But for years, the gods have not appeared and the Curugan people are dying little by little due to a strange disease. The situation is desperate so the council of ancients decides to send someone in search of the gods to ask for their help. The chosen one is Noah, the young disciple of the shaman of the town. Although he is young and inexperienced, he is strong, intelligent and the only one, after the shaman, who has enough knowledge to succeed in such a task.

Noah marches to the land of the gods, where only the shamans have been. After months of travel, he finally arrives at the entrance to the land of the gods. He knows that his people don't have much time left, so he goes into the place in the hope of finding the gods.

MAIN FEATURES:
- First-person exploration adventure game
- Beautiful and detailed graphics (3D in real time)
- Original and interesting story
- Simple but logical puzzles
- Inspired in games like Myst
- Explore freely without fear of dying
- Original soundtrack composed by Python Blue


INSPIRATION:
Mainly the Myst saga, but also other games like Quern, The Eyes of Ara, the Rhem saga or the Schizm games.

I'm going to use my usual tools: Unity, 3ds Max, Quixel Suite, Photoshop and old assets... and my magic!


As always, the idea is clear but this is a jam and I never know how it will end, that's the fun!

I will publish the progress.

Yes I agree that being in the top 20 is a good thing and proof of quality.
In fact I totally agree with you all that we have to be proud of our creations! And I think we are? That's what we are saying since the end of AdvJam
It's just a shame that we won't be tested by the Judges, that is all. I really hoped that at least one our games could have been played by them, because I had the feeling that something good have resulted for the creator and for the whole collective.

I agree with everyone here and I do wish one had made it to the top 10, as Simon says, who knows what the outcome may have been with the judges. But what is important is that the icehouse participated with 3 amazing games that were better than average, much better in my opinion. That in itself is something to be proud of! Congrats guys!

Yeah! I will have to add our games on the Released Projects page someday

Thanks guys for your encouragement and your kind words, we're fortunate to have this wonderful community!
