GDN GAME JAM 2021 Rebirth Submission:
Built on my engine that is currently being developed. Nothing is finished. Everything needs more work. Please let me know if you have issues or thoughts with the game. TUwU.
<what would have been added to game intro scene and dialogue between stages>
Plot Exposition:
After the Paladin returns home to his kingdom, he finds it has been destroyed. The Evil God's Curse had turned the whole kingdom into the undead. Furthermore; using the evil energy generated by the curse, The Evil God intends to be Reborn: Harder, Better, Stronger, Faster. (;D)
So the Paladin's task during game is to seek out pieces of a key to open a door into Limbo. Where the unborn God awaits to return to the realm. Slaying the God in Limbo will permanently destroy it.
There was also supposed to be people and enemies that u can interact with and using the sword vs. arm has diff effects. There was an amulet with your family and you have to find their souls and revive them. This links to a skill tree that unlocks the hero's abilities and so forth. As you kill enemies you can collect SOUL orbs that function similar to currency but for unlocking and reviving things in game.
At the end I wanted to have a family and house standing at the end like waiting for the Paladin's return, sadly time would not allow for such things. I will continue working on this and hope to release a complete version in a couple of months.

For anyone visiting this old posting: The project lives and continues. It is taking longer than expected tho :3 Many great strides have been made and are still being made and the game is so much better already. Hopefully should be available at the end of year(winter 2022), if all goes well.

This was a fun submission! I enjoyed the visuals, the good/ evil mechanic was interesting, and the music is pretty nice as well! Ofc the plot wasn't fully explained ingame, but I look forward to this fleshing out some more!
Hi there, Thanks for the kind words. Keep an eye out and There will be an updated version that im going to release on its own page so its not a submission page. But first i have to finish building the beta. Should be in about 3 months, well see.
