Jikoai is a concept which started as a personal project during the third year of University, and began development after I graduated.

I put together a small team of an artist, a progammer, and a narrative designer, with me as the producer & artist.

The game has the player play three different characters in three different arcs, all of which suffering from a very different kind of narcissism, as they navigate a post-robot-uprising dystopia.

JIKOAI - PITCH

I began development in Godot.

Although still full of placeholders, I'm testing different aesthetics and functionalities.

The main menu allows me to pick different scenes or test the small minigames.

(Small Work in Progress!)

I keep track of tasks using Google Sheets because of the very simple and customizable nature. It is also something everyone is familiar with, and doesn't require learning or paying to access.

To do list

(First UI Prototype)

The UI is still a work in progress currently, but the concept is that the protagonists portrait is shown on a phone's "selfie camera", to portray the narcissism theme, while any illustrations or mini-games will be shown on a tablet. Each one of the three protagonists has these UI elements customized to show off their personality.
