Pepper&Carrot: The Wizard

Pepper, a young witch, and Carrot, her orange familiar, got wind of a wizard living nearby and decided to furtively check whether the rumors are true.

Note: The game takes a while to load, and shows nothing but a black screen until everything is ready. There are also some issues with the path-finding algorithm.

This is my entry for the Pepper&Carrot Jam. There was no theme per se, only that the game was somehow related to Pepper&Carrot, a libre and open-source webcomic by David Revoy.

I does not look like it, but i have spend almost all my free time—and also some working hours—during the jam’s ten days to draw and animate the graphics in the game.  Unfortunately, it left me with very little time to do the actual game, and actually i do not believe it can be even called that—only one “puzzle”, and such a basic solution?  However, i decided to submit it anyway, otherwise it would be a complete waste of time.

Credits

All the graphics are based on the drawings of David Revoy for his webcomic, Pepper&Carrot, released under the Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International license. What i did is use that as reference to (re)draw and animate them in the game, trying to keep Revoy’s style as much as possible. Well, i tried. My artwork, if you want to call it that, is released under the same license.

Moreover, the story is based on the universe of Hereva, created also by David Revoy, and maintained by Craig Maloney. It was written by Craig Maloney, Nicolas Artance, Scribblemaniac, and Valivin; and corrected by Willem Sonke, Moini, Hali, CGand, and Alex Gryson.
