Gravitas Magica : Rhythmic Sunrise (Provitional Name)

IMPORTANT NOTE: Work at my day job got a bit hectic so I couldn't make progress in the game before the deadline. 

*Use WiFi, there are just placeholder non-optimized assets for now*

Hey, if you came across this page, you hit the play button and got below 30 fps please let me know  which smartphone you used, even if the assets are not optimized yet, this info might be useful to me.

Mini updates not worth a blog post (This updates are made after the deadline, do not consider them for rating if the game comes to life during the rating period):

• 16/3/2021 00:04 am: Removed lights and set a simpler material for environment. lights are too expensive for a browser game lol after this I got a significant improvement on fps in smartphones. Also started working on interactions with the environment but I couldn't load the animation into the placeholder NPC and wasted like 40 mins trying lol. I'll try tomorrow to implement interactions right now I'm too sleepy right now.

  

• 14/3/2021 11:11 pm: Technical build uploaded (which basically means that the tech for the game that I wanted to use runs on itch.io)
• 14/3/2021 10:40 pm: Fixed noob error of not packaging relative paths with parcel.

✨ This my my entry for the Magical Girl Jam #3  ✨

CHOSEN THEME:  

# 4  Spacetime Curvature/Time Dilation/Length Contraction/Relativity

PLOT

Magical days are gone for Hinata, a young woman that in her childhood was magical girl and now in her late 20’s is sitting in front a pc, working for a company on a schedule from 8 AM to who knows when PM in a decaying economy.

She starts scrolling on her phone to get a small break from work, and founds that many news sources are reporting that the sun started entering prematurely its red giant phase generating huge concerns worldwide... were scientist wrong in their previous calculations!? It seems like it is not the case, but the truth is that the sun is burning its hydrogen at an abnormal and fast rate threatening life on earth. 

How much time does Earth has before the deadly hug from our sun? while reading articles trying to answer similar questions, Hinata feels a the gaze of a mysterious presence close to her.

CORE MECHANICS:

• Exploration while absorbing certain objects in the environment  letting the player gain mass that increases gravitational effects thanks to Hinata's Magical Powers that will enable the player to solve puzzles leading to battles.

• Turn based rhythmical battle system inspired by the dance neutron stars make before colliding. The player has to perform in time, short musical phrases in order to attack.
