Things that didn't make the cut


Hi! I’m Grapefruit. I create short experiences that try to provoke thought and touch your heart.

Opposite of what it might seem, Space actually had quite a bit of planning that was done. The idea came to me a few months before I started making it, and the dialogue was refactored many times.

For your curiosity, here are some things that didn’t make it into the game:

This is an alternative tether sprite that got replaced by an entirely white one. The tether took a lot of time to get working with physics and positioning.

The player was supposed to find a spaceship afterwards and guide it towards Earth to come back home. I had a prototype built, however I decided that some things are best left like they are.

This is an alternative version of the astronaut. I found that the sprite was too slender and tall, almost sci-fi, so I decided to go with a different look for the characters.

This was originally the character that the first character was supposed to meet. I didn’t find the harmony between blue and green colors to be nice, so I posted for a female character, with a red color.

That’s it! There were many more ideas that were floating around my head, but I decided to keep the game simple. Hope you enjoyed.

Bye,
Grapefruit.

Been working lately on lots of 'behind-the-scenes' boring stuff that no one really cares about, so here’s a guy playing the sax for some reason.

Heya! I wanted to show some gameplay progress i made so far. I hope you like it ^^

What you all think

A house I've built a while ago. :)

It nicely separates the snowy biome from the grassy one.

It's built with painted Ebonstone.

OK, this starts to be too tricky puzzle already :D

Animation test. Not an actaul conclusion to who wins sonic vs Mario. Just a test animation combo.
