Hello,
As I said in my presentation, I am an independent video game developer.

I present here my game made for a game jam that had as theme the creation of a shoot 'em up horizontal scrolling.

Of 47 games on offer, Story space shooter finished 10th, knowing that other games had graphics, it's pretty good.

Here are my goals for this game:

- Tell a story so that people can imagine it, rather than represent it graphically. I thought nothing was as beautiful as the imagination. I also did a lot of work on the text to make it richer thanks to the use of a more elaborate language.
- Add and think about interactive elements to simulate a shooting game. I made many tries throughout the development to find the best solutions

Finally, I thought that the game could be playable by the blind, so I translated the texts into audio with Google translation. Then I reworked some passage with audacity

The game is playable online or downloadable, the download version being of better quality.

If not concerning technical choices, I chose to indicate by a sound signal the moments where the player can interact, because I found it painful all the time to read the instructions. I have already activated an audio player, and I find it unbearable to read everything, while someone visual could select only the parts he wants to read.

But here is the link to the game: https://hieronims.itch.io/story-space-shooter

Use the space key to change screens, and the arrow keys to steer your ship.

Good game
