Ganny's Adventure is a retro-style SNES-era game, for PC, Xbox, Mac, Linux with heavier influence from games like: The Legend of Zelda - A Link to the Past (gameplay and art), Stardew Valley (art and interactions with NPCs). Roughly 20% done, we plan on releasing the game fully without needing patches (although there inevitably will be bugs that poke through).
This name is Ganny!
Ganny is a young heroic lad that learns about three mystery gems, priceless gems, that will win any woman's heart. A perfect red Ruby, a beautiful deep blue Sapphire, and the purest green Emerald. Knowing he has trouble in that department of his life he learns about the fierce things in his way to acquire these items. An old man once told him about the three factions that reign chaos over the land and fought fearlessly over obtaining these gems for the wealth they would bring. After many, many years they hid the gems in deep caverns, in the safest and the securest place possible. He also told him about the many horrors he has seen and all the creatures he couldn't fend off as he once went looking for the gems.
Ganny thinks he knows what is ahead of him, but doesn't know how hard the task really is.
Explore unique areas filled with monsters in all shapes in sizes! Dungeon crawl to find the gems but not without falling into trouble with every turn. Many puzzles will be found throughout the land, but are you brave enough to travel with Ganny and help him complete his journey!
Hound Monks are especially known for their excitement for visitors from all over and are extremely grateful for gifts. They're known for their wisdom and tend to spend their time pondering for hours trying to understand why something is. They are always are happy to share their wisdom with others. Hound Monks during the great war migrated towards higher ground in the northern region where they can spend their time studying the great war over the shiny stones.
Budlings are extremely hostile but loveable plants. Budlings have one duty and that's to protect fellow plants that can't defend themselves. They have a problem distinguishing friends and foes apart and do not like having interaction with outside creatures that are not plant based. They are found in the forest and the plains of the land and can hid very easily in the ground if they are startled.
Crystal Golems are known to protect the purple crystals in the northern depths. They were made to guard the ancient tomb housing a priceless blue Sapphire, with volcanic rocks and the life found in the crystals They aren't the most hostile creature found, unless you're in their territory or too close to their purple crystals. They are found to be far stronger than the typical monster, but brain power is not in their favor!
Pallium Spiders are hellish creatures that burrow deep into the ground and lurk in the darkest spaces. They are known for their aggression and willingness to send hordes if they feel like they are in danger. Never feel safe if you see just one. It is not known if they are venomous or not, since no one has survived seeing one! Legends are said that some jump towards their prey but not else is known about these spiders.
Grass Orcs are one of the most violent monsters that roams the plains. Humans and Orcs, of all kinds, have had a troubled past of war over land and food. The greedy nature paired with the witted brain leads to ruthless chase downs and player hunting scenarios. Usually orcs roam around by themselves but its not uncommon to run into a group of hunter orcs. Different species orcs have gravitated to different regions of the land. So watch out they could be lurking anywhere!

Throw bombs at the enemies you cant reach and find mysteries! Destroy pieces of the puzzle and find hidden areas that weren't accessible before! Smash through enemies with your hammer. Dash to miss losing your HP!
Dashing is a quick and easy way to navigate while being able to dodge incoming attacks! Although its useful timing it may be hard and cause more harm than good. Make sure you don't dash into something you shouldn't!
The Shield is the only way you can insure you don't take damage; if you cant get out of the way! It may be heavy and slows you down but its worth it when its your last resort!
The Bomb is a dangerous explosion that will inflict larger amounts of damage on anything, including yourself. It may be useful to find hidden areas that aren't reachable without extra help! Charge up your aim by holding it till you throw it far away or you might just drop it on top of you!

With Ganny’s Adventure roughly 20% complete, my target release is Q3/Q4 of 2024. I plan on launching on Steam and Itch.io. It would be amazing to have the support to release on other platforms such as Switch and Playstation. Given the current resources, the goal for now is for a successful launch on just Steam/Itch.io/Xbox. Worry not though because all Steam keys will be interchangeable between your preferred platform!
