I wish I were the Moon

(click on the screenshot to play)
I haven’t been posting anything lately for two reasons: I didn’t feel like doing so, and I was busy working on my prototypes to submit for the Tokyo Game Show Sense of Wonder Nights.
During these last weeks, I came up with three prototypes that I think are interesting enough, though I’m not 100% satisfied with the results.
This is the first one, called “I wish I were the Moon“. It’s inspired on The Distance of the Moon by Italo Calvino, and it’s about a weird love triangle.
I tried to make it about the exploration of an emotional situation instead of a physical space, without using any text. I tacked in the goal of finding the endings at the last minute, but it’s just a gimmick.
My conclusion on this prototype is that the camera mechanic is underused, the situation is a bit complex to understand if you didn’t read The Distance of the Moon, and ultimately the exploration experience is not very enjoyable. Maybe it’s because the options are not emergent, but pretty much hardcoded, and there’s only a few of them.
This prototype is the precursor point of the other two:
Storyteller
The Trials
Credits:
Italo Calvino as inspiration
Harp Sample: Lamento di Tristano and La Rotta by Cheryl Ann Fulton.
Update: lightsun13 made a YouTube walkthrough.
Update2: Updated to the new version!
Interesting game! And I love that story from Cosmicomics. It took me a little while to find all the endings… but was a little disappointed that a few of the activities I had expected to find weren’t there, such as climbing up the ladder to get the moon milk, which could be a great game mechanic, and might play into the manipulation of the relationships as well. I do think it’s a great start though!
By Leadhyena on September 3
Heh, are all your games going to be about love triangles from now on?
I really liked this one, actually. I enjoyed the exploration of the space, and while it definitely has a puzzle mechanic feel to it, I think that the emotions still play.
I’m working on a small game right now too. Hopefully it’ll be ready soon…
By Darius K. on September 3
I like this game. I really like the games with this kind of graphics. (Maybe is a nostalgic impression about oldies games, but the games without great “pixel shader” graphics needs more ingenious).
Nice game, very nice UI.
By Cristian V. on September 3
ja ja, muy bueno Dani.
No lei el libro pero pude descubrir todos los endings. Me encanto el pixel art y la idea.
By riq on September 4
@darius: well… I guess we make games about stuff we know about…
I forgot to mention this… but the camera mechanic concept was born while I read you article about using a camera as gameplay… not that it is properly used here, though. It makes a little more sense on the next prototype.
Thanks to everybody who took the time to comment for your support!
By Daniel Benmergui on September 4
can you post some spoilers please?
I just discovered 2 “good” finals…
By Paolone on September 4
SPOILERS:
“Tragedyâ€: Drop any of them into the water
“Bring me the Moonâ€: Get the “Lost Love Endingâ€, then give the small moon to the boy
“Lost Love Endingâ€: Sit the boy in the boat and wait until the moon is gone
“I am your Moon Endingâ€: Sit the boy in the boat and the girl in the moon
“Seagull Trip Endingâ€: Sit both the boy and the girl over the gull. Be sure to put both of them. One will not suffice.
By Daniel Benmergui on September 4
ah dude;
I hadn’t seen you about tigsource in ages. I really like this game. (I also really like Calvino
). Exploring all the different endings was a lot of fun.
By increpare on September 6
Hey Increpare!
Yeah, I’m still lurking TIGSource, but hadn’t felt like joining conversations. I might once the demakes compo starts voting…
Thanks for trying this proto! In a couple of days I will post the next one, and the third one later. I hope you try those too!
By Daniel Benmergui on September 6
Of course I will
I showed this prototype to one friend, who really fell in love with it.
Will just have to subscribe to your blog so I don’t loose forget about you again

I really like this game. I loved the “bring me the moon ending”, really funny. And as one guy says, i really like the pixel art.
Good luck in the compo.
By Lucas on September 9
Wow! Amazing game, dude! I’ve found all the endings. All of them are really great. But it happened something insteresting. The last ending I found was the “I’m your moon” one, which I think (to myself) is the best of all (or is the kindda the “true” ending). And I think that the fact of being found last, gives you some more satisfaction, ’cause you, after much effort, found the best that you can do.
I give you a 10 points evaluation. This is the kind of sensations that a game must generate in the player.
By Emiliano on September 9
This is fucking awesome. Probably your best game to date.
I remember you told me once about the idea you had about a gameplay like this, but seeing it and playing it is way more surprising. I loved it.
Cheers!

By Gavin Laking on September 29

By Matt Rix on September 29
Your stuff reminds of the work Jason Rohrer is doing. Like it! Now I need to find your referenced story so I can find the two endings I’m missing.
By dsrtrosy on September 29
this is beautiful, it really touched me in an amazing way. I don’t know if it’s just me, because I am awfully in love, but “I am your moon” is just the cutest thing you could say to someone.

[...] This little game made me happy. And a little bit sad too. I don’t fully understand why, but I liked it. It seems to be about trying to make the characters involved happy, but at the same time I get the feeling there’s no one “true” or “happy” ending. Maybe the bird feels left out at the end? Whether this is true or not, it made it look effortless to get me to think on a deeper level about what I’d experienced. I’ve played some games for hundreds of hours and felt nothing but boredom(and self-loathing, why else would I play something that sucks that much?). It took 2 minutes for this game to reach me on a deeper level than I usually reserve for games, for which I am grateful. [...]

Intenta explorar una situación emocional, en lugar de un espacio fÃsico. Para ello, se puede trasladar los elementos existentes en la escena con una camara ‘teletransportadora”, de forma que la nueva ubicación de los personajes y/u objetos provoca unas determinadas consecuencias en la historia.

Kapalua Resort’s zipline course is 1 the country’s largest with practically two miles of parallel lines that soar amidst the West Maui mountains. Friends are transported for the Mountain Outpost from the Kapalua Adventure Middle in biodiesel-fueled Mercedez-Benz Unimogs by way of present pineapple field access roads. The whole place is owned by their guardian, the Maui Land & Pineapple Company. Their ziplines are slightly different from others I have been on. First, they offer parallel lines which are great when you’re with a friend or family member. They also have, what I felt to be, a more comfortable nylon rip-stopping harness. It’s easier to avoid uncontrolled 360 degree swings. Their hardwood brake block system is also quite different from other ziplines I’ve been on. It allows for somewhat easier, albeit noisier, breaking. Maui Zipline
