Releasing Aero Dreams

Hey all! So… Aero Dreams is finally out! What does this mean? This game wasn’t intended to be a big big project, just something decent to present as a thesis. But, as I kept pouring hours, it became something I always believed in… true co-op games! So, the spirit kept on living, but… it’s not all gold in this story.

Problem: The time. I just had one month to make a game that felt, well, like a game. A kind-of-completed game, not a game jam one. I dropped out of two project before working in what would end up as Aero Dreams and believe me, that was not great for the spirit.

Hope: Frens Everything seemed so dark for a bit, and I was really scared of having to do a whole videogame all on my own. But then, I dared to ask one of the artists in JETW if they would like to help me with the art in this game, and they said yes! I’m super grateful to them for jumping onto this crazy ship on fire for a month.

Problem: The design Well, turns out, designing games is hard af! Even more when you’re trying to make something unique and experimental like true-coop minigames. This just required lots,lots, LOTS of work, and feedbackwell from the people around me as well. That helped me shape what worked, what didn’t and what to keep on pursuing.

Determination: Guidance I had no turning back anyway. I had to present my thesis. So I went fully focused into the game for a whole month. It was not easy, but i had no choice. I got everything basic I wanted the game to include. just in timeBut…

Real Life: Release Day The day I dropped the game I was going to Guadalindie, and I had no time to focus on the first-day bugs that made the game unplayable. It wasn’t until 3 days later that I got to do it, but that didn’t stress me at all. The hard part was done, and no one had their eyes on the game anyway, so why bother? (don’t think anyone’s reading this either lol) Some days later, I got to fix that stuff and upload the build you can play today here!

It was a month full of emotions, but I got another game with a cool concept delivered and I’m happy for it! Thanks for reading!
