Today I'll be starting a new project. I've written simple apps and games in the past as side projects using older, now depreciated, frameworks... but nothing too serious. Lately I've been bouncing some ideas off of my kids to see if there is anything worth pursuing. One idea that seemed to stick is a cross between Lemmings and Fallout Shelter. When I was younger, the game Lemmings was super fun and seems simple enough for a beginner project. BUT I really like the graphics style in Fallout Shelter where there are 2d characters inside stacked 3d rooms.
Lemmings:
Fallout Shelter:
A cross between the two seems possible to me and a School theme might look cool. I'm thinking the school bell rings and students need to get to the school bus. Like in Lemmings some students can be turned into "blockers" or have other abilities to help their classmates get to their destination.
After poking around in Godot for a bit, I made a test scene with a 3d room, a 2d sprite and some keyboard navigation. This was enough to convince me that a game like this is possible. Maybe I'll call it "Class Dismissed" :)
