Sparkling Galahad

WELCOME ADVENTURER! 

You have entered a neighbouring dungeon with a new, thrilling challenge ahead. 

Fighting monsters, making your way through the dungeon step by step, finally reaching the boss. You can already feel victory, brimming with confidence and excited to claim the generous rewards for your effort. 

But behold! Another player has entered your lobby... 

WHAT IS IT ABOUT?

Sparkling Galahad  is a game which was developed for the GMTK Game Jam 2021. The overall theme is "Joined Together".  You are playing an ordinary, plain adventurer about to challenge a dungeon. Pretty normal... 

Until Sparkling Galahad makes his shiny entrance to your lobby...      

VISUAL CONCEPT

We created an adventure game with visual novel elements, to add depth to our characters. So during the jam we created both Sparkling Galahad and Plain Guy with different facial expressions and a large pool of voice lines to read. 

Due to some issues, the in-game UI might be stretched, but we uploaded a screenshot for you to take a look at both characters and their different faces. 

As you may have notices from the concept, Plain Guy really is plain with earthy, matt colours and nothing to really make an impression. His dungeon companion, Galahad, on the other hand, outshines everyone with his vibrant purple hair and golden armour. The Sparkling part of his name couldn't fit his looks any better.

----------------------

So yeah, it's blatantly unfinished! Let me explain our vision:

You are PLAIN GUY, a normal adventurer. Before the entrance to a neighbouring dungeon you encounter SPARKLING GALAHAD, a valiant shining hero with confidence to match.
After each combat, Galahad approaches you through a hole in the wall and asks for your loot. After three encounters, you'll face the boss with adequate loot - or nothing, if you've been a generous donor!

And here comes the twist - after beating the dungeon, you play again, as Galahad. And now you're entirely dependant on how greedy you've been in the first run. There's the link theme ;)
