Ember of Hope
A downloadable game
Ember of Hope is a game made for Game Jam 14 in January of 2024 hosted by Pirate Software. It is a vertical slice of gameplay focused on demonstrating as much of the gameplay as could be completed in time for submission.

The story is that of a young dragon hatchling, Ember. Who awakes in a dark and tumultuous time where hope is fleeting but as a Dragon attuned to the Goddess of Hope, Spera and with the power to undo this calamity.
Light action and puzzles are two of the main elements to go along side exploring environments and restoring hope and warmth to a hopeless and drull land.

Hey, took a look at this. I can see that the game really took a hit cuz of the time constraint aspect of the jam, but I can see a little of what you were going for. The parts where you pushed the boxes to form paths showed me there's actually some different things you could possibly do with that. Also, cool model for Ember! Another thing I enjoyed was the little detail of the trail that gets left behind wherever Ember walks, as if it's them spreading hope wherever they step on.
The game's got a neat concept and truly just needed more time in the oven to be able to get a glimpse at more of the things that were planned for it. Cool stuff on it though!
