This little game was made for [Fuck This Jam

|
|
|
|
2014](https://itch.io/jam/fuck-this-jam).

Fuck This Jam 2014 (May 31st - June 6th, 2014) is a gamejam that challenges
|
|
|
|
|
you to make a game in a genre you hate. As developers, we're all being told
|
|
|
|
|
to make games we love playing, or games we love making. Genres we know the
|
|
|
|
|
in and outs of, genres that we research before starting on a game. We ask
|
|
|
|
|
you to do one simple thing: spend one week making a game in a genre you
|
|
|
|
|
dislike, a genre you don't care about and a genre you don't know about.

At the time the YouTube channel _retsupurae_ regularly featured shoddy games
|
|
|
|
|
made in Unity that claimed to be "works of art". With _A Dark Dawn_ I played
|
|
|
|
|
on that formula and made something which you'd now call a walking simulator.
|
|
|
|
|
With, frankly, way to much text. Albeit deliberately ;)

[The original itch.io page is still up.](https://xrcore.itch.io/add). But good
|
|
|
|
|
luck getting this thing to run with the defunct Unity web player. There is also
|
|
|
|
|
a binary for Linux (and only for Linux), which - I think - was also part of the
|
|
|
|
|
joke. [The source code is also still up on Github](https://github.com/jancc/artisticque),
|
|
|
|
|
if you want to peek into it.
