#hydeaway

I'm working on Hydeaway, a student game that is kind of sort of a VaporwaveGothic production*.

You're Dr. Henry Jekyll, and there’s a dead man in your parlor.  You don't remember how he got there, and your alters aren't talking. Wake them up, piece together what happened last night, and discover the truth.

Hydeaway is a Jekyll and Hyde themed adventure game, about memory, consequences, and the horror of sharing your mind with someone who hates your guts. I'm probably going to put this on Itch, in, like, six months, with some help and tweaks from Lorcan.

Please, if anyone can help, please spread awareness or donate to this organisation. They rescue and look after hundreds of gulls in England and are facing a shut down and the euthanasia of their rescues if they don't secure enough money to keep their site.

Making more progress with Hydeaway: this is the intro/tutorial screen for the 30-second demo.

I'm making some good progress on Hydeaway-- my student project, a Jekyll-and-Hyde horror adventure game-- but I'm still a wee bit behind, and I have to work on Bright Young Things to boot.

Apparently, Gamemaker hates erasing text once you've put it on the screen. Who knew?

"Funny" glitch from Hydeaway dev yesterday.

Text in GameMaker 2 is apparently inordinately hard to wrangle. As are collisions. And coding. And everything else.
