Crafting Glamhaven: Unveiling the Secrets Behind the Cityscape and Side Quests

Greetings, fellow game enthusiasts! Today, I'm excited to give you a sneak peek into the intricate world-building process behind Glamhaven, the city at the heart of my game. Strap in as we delve into the artistry and puzzle design that's shaping the gaming experience.

Recently I got a comment that a person on reddit would do a HARD PASS, BECAUSE MY GAME IS TOO NICHE. Which at first sucked but then the thing is they are right; my game is niche but making any game is a risk and im willing to take that. I think a game about drag queens shopping and getting gigs with side quests is a fun cozy game that I would play. So why not share it with the world

Hand-Drawn Splendor

Creating a visually stunning backdrop is crucial, and that's why every nook and cranny of Glamhaven is meticulously hand-drawn. The challenge lies in accommodating sprites three times larger than the RPG Maker MV's base size, adding a layer of complexity to the cityscape that I believe will truly captivate players.

Coming up with ideas for showcasing the fashions of Glamhaven.

Side Quests Beyond Fetching

Let's face it, fetch quests can become mundane if not handled with care. To elevate the player experience, I've been brainstorming ways to make side quests not just a means to an end but an adventure in themselves. The key? Puzzles!

The Puzzle Paradox

Implementing puzzles into side quests adds depth and intrigue, but what makes them truly enjoyable? The answer lies in connecting these puzzles to Glamhaven's rich lore. Each solved puzzle unveils a secret or uncovers a piece of the city's history, providing players with a sense of accomplishment and a deeper connection to the in-game world.

Diverse Puzzling Experiences

To avoid monotony, I'm diversifying the types of puzzles scattered throughout Glamhaven. From riddles that tease the player's intellect to spatial challenges that test their problem-solving skills, each puzzle aims to keep the gameplay experience fresh and entertaining.

Unraveling Glamhaven's Mysteries

The beauty of integrating lore into puzzles is the potential for players to unearth hidden stories within Glamhaven. Side quests become not just a task but an exploration, a journey through the city's secrets. It adds an immersive layer to the gameplay, making each puzzle-solving moment a rewarding revelation.

Crafting Glamhaven involves more than just pixel art and coding – it's about creating an experience. The synergy between hand-drawn visuals and lore-infused puzzles aims to transport players into a world where every quest is an adventure and every puzzle is a piece of the city's grand tapestry.
