Hi! This is an information project about my upcoming, episodic, story-driven, run-and-gun platformer extravaganza 8LEGS! ā More information in Notes and Credits! ā
Alright people, let me get something out before we dig deeper: this isn't going to be any old run-of-the-mill platformer. 8LEGS is like a child to me! (Oops, that sounded a bit weird...) The story and gameplay ideas were written down in my head over many years while sitting in boring classrooms and I've always wanted for the game to get out there! Of course, the only place for a gentleman with relatively rudimental programming skills to do that is to get back into Scratch. I've watched some videos by Zinnea so I'm pretty much right up there with Griffpatch now. If you're interested in stuff like game lore and theorising you should really consider hopping on the 8LEGS bandwagon! I love chatting to people on Scratch and if you have any questions about the games developement, plot or just want to talk I'm here, and I'm in this thing for the long haul. Oh, and even if you aren't I'd still really appreciate a heart and/or fav. ;) Now I'm sure you're probably wondering: "Well, what is the lore?", so here's the gist. In 8LEGS, you play as an unassuming spider living in a dangerous world. Thousands of years after the departure of humanity, insects have undergone a rapid evolutionary leap, now living in deeply segregated clans. After waking up with no memory of who you are, a kind stranger indoctrinates you into a bizarre cult which claims that your kind are a master race; destined to rule over all insects with an iron fist! Having noticed your unique skills in combat, the leader sends you on a harrowing (but fun!) mission to infiltrate the enemy factions and steal their powerful technology. My fingers are almost starting to ache from typing, so I think I'll sign off now. Think about it, won't you? -xoxo @_k-an_can_ And now, as we all must sadly show, the tags: #games
