Lunar-Fall Festival (Jam version)

A short story of two friends preparing for an lunar festival, set during autumn.

Solo-developed for the Cozy Fall Jam 2024, a three day game jam!

Rules of the Jam (click to extend for details):

The boundaries of the jam-product.

1. No AI generated content allowed! This jam celebrates human-made content, so no AI content of any kind is allowed!
2. Don't feel limited by the 'videogame' part of this jam. You want to make a story, comic or paper card game? Go for it!
3. No NSFW content (except mild violence, of course.)
4. You can use any engine, or tools you want.
5. You can use any assets you have the rights to (make sure to give proper credit though).
6. Don't submit paid games. After the jam (and 1-week rating period) has ended, you're free to make your game paid.
7. Don't submit games you did not make in the period of this jam.

Third-Party Assets

• Default included and character-generated in RPG-Maker MZ

Before playing! Be aware of:

• Potential spelling mistakes
• Cutscenes/Events that may not work as intended
  • Spoilers for the ending (click to extend for details):

    After acquiring at least one (1) water lantern and having your friend in the party, interact with the space outside the item shop (as the event has the wrong trigger in build 0.1) The end credits will unfortunately not trigger after the final cutscene in build 0.1, you'll have to exit the game manually (status menu->game end or close window).
• Minor collision issues
• Audio balancing issues (VERY loud)
• Encounter and battle balancing issues

These issues are intended to be fixed post-jam.

The prototype's development journey (click to extend for details):

My attempt at learning RPG-Maker in three days—wherein two were used for the tutorial while also trying to write the rest of the game on the side. I wanted to try something new but may have bitten of a bit more than I could chew...

Due to these constraints, most assets are directly or modified RPG-Maker assets. The game will likely get a complete overhaul after the jam-week has ended.
