Starlit Wanderer

What It Is
Starlit Wanderer is an exploration game in which the player acts as an astronaut adrift in space and, in their final moments, they reminisce on their childhood.
The game is organized as a series of mini-games reflecting the astronaut's childhood, intercut with their current reality, floating out into space.
Starlit Wanderer was created and developed over 48 hours for the 2024 Granola.gg Game Jam, by a rather large team of seven.
Development
For most of my teammates, this was our first serious game jam, where we intended to create a product that we were all proud of. This was the first time we'd applied project management to a real-life context, with varying degrees of success.
I acted as the 2D and technical artist. As the main visual artist, my role also involved communicating with my other teammates to deliver assets that accurately reflected our narrative and were relevant to gameplay.
