Special Thanks To

Adrian Clark - for being the most patient and fun lecturer, helping with code, and also agreeing to be the main character of our game for the future of adrianhopecore games. 

Sabrina (Bree) Cooke, Oliver (Ollie) Coates, Kelso (bob) du Mez for being the best tutors and giving valuable feedback and support to make this game possible. 

Roberto Carvalho for thundersheet curation, despite the sound designer never finding you again and writing a whole poem about it.

Thanks for playing our game!

This game was made for a first year game development course at University of Canterbury in Christchurch, New Zealand. All art assets were made by our five incredible artists. Sounds were designed using traditional Foley and SFX processes with an original soundtrack composed for each environment. This is our first game as a team and we're proud of what we could achieve in 6 weeks!
