Formica (PreAlpha)

About Formica

Mason is an average 19 year old, with a dead end job, an overbearing boss, and a creepy landlord. This certainly isn't the life he'd have chosen if he knew he'd end up here. But one day, after investigating a strange noise in his attic, he suddenly awoke in another world altogether! Transformed into an ant, he must join Juno, the ant princess on a quest to discover who is behind her mother's disappearance and the unrest happening within her kingdom. All while Mason grapples with the struggles of bug life, and hoping he can return home soon... but what does he really want?

About Me

Hello! This is Kyrio. If you're unfamiliar with the term, I'm what's known as a TF artist in the furry community. (Meaning, I enjoy drawing people turning into other things :V) This is a project that I've been working on off and on for about six months now. (Mostly just posting animations I've done of Mason doing various actions on twitter). But as an excuse to learn Godot, I've begun to piece together what seems like the makings of an actual game! And in honor of the TF Game Jam, I decided to build a full-ish level to explore! But there's certainly a long way to go (this prototype doesn't even have combat in it...or any sound...)

I'd love to hear what you guys think. And if you have advice or skills that I lack, I'd love to chat with you about it!
