The Plan:
An old school jump 'n run ala “Donkey Kong Country” with a huge cast of characters and a complex Level Editor.
The Story:
It’s about a forgotten and unfinished fairy tale and the ever-growing chaos that arose from its incomplete state. The once young and beloved Protagonist is now just a shadow of herself and nobody seems to remember her good deeds from the past. In these trying times, where distrust reigns and the birds are silent, a mysterious light guides the way to hope.
What happened so far:
We are a two-man-team and working on this Hobby project since 2017.
The idea for Lucy and her magic lamp came from a short film (it’s German) I made in 2016.
So far, we have a working Level Editor with many features and the possibility to playtest it.
I also worked on a 3D stealth/puzzle gameplay, but it’s on halt for now.
If you’re curious, you can find all previous updates here on my website.
The newest Update includes:
- stackability for pushable blocks
- solid blocks can move and crush entities
- 2 new tile sets: Ice & Earth
- placeable Trigger zones
- scriptable Camera
- particle spawner
- new animations for Player character
- more projectiles for shooting NPCs
- water (kind of …)

We think the project is now big enough to show it to a broader audience for critic and feedback.

Hi Polywonk.
The game looks wonderful and is mesmerizing to see a Donkey Kong Country like game with such quality with only 2 people in the studio!
Are you recruiting? I’m a music composer/pianist semi pro changing professionnal orientations to computers and coding.
I worked as game designer for my own horror game now left behind. I would love to make the music of the game.
If you want to hear my work, i’ll send you all what I have in hand as compositions in PM.
Cheers

Thank you for the kind words. We appreciate that.
@Valkyrsch : I would love to hear what you have in store. Because music is just as important as graphics, but unfortunately something we can’t do yet.
i like it, looks very inspired by those old games, looks very pro and fun, i want to play it

Hey @Polywonk check out your inbox 
for not sure reasons, the opening animation reminds me of Tex Murphy : Under a Killing Moon, you might want to try and look at that video - game, not sure it’s a good reference // it’s a very classic title, could look nice with something like those characters, also perhaps Alone in the Dark 2, and perhaps also Bayonetta 1 // 2 . . .
whatever this is, it’s more a build-the-game, than a game itself, it looks amazing, think it’d look amazing on SteamDeck, and for sure Windows, LINUX, not sure also Mac . . . .
amazing stuff, it’s already 10 score, going to be watching this, etc etc . . . .
