Janky Blades

This game started from two places.

On one hand I wanted to make another Roll and Write game. Just to prove to myself that I still had access to the juice.

It would be a spiritual successor to the Legend of Dsyx games I made for ButtonShy in 2018, and it would be about swords probably.

The other direction I came from was wanting to make a game that also served as a creative tool, where visually pleasing output was also high-scoring, but I wasn't directing the player to make a pre-decided outcome. I don't know that I got there, the swords you make while playing this game will probably be a bit ugly, though I urge you to play to make the coolest sword you can, and worry about the score once the work is done. Though 75 seems to be a good first score to beat if you are in to that sort of thing.

Feel-wise I am very happy about this. I wanted to capture a kind of methodical working-out of chaos into a grand design, shaping organic ore into sturdy, folded steel. And I think I got there. It's just a little bit janky.

I can't wait to see what you do with this. Comment below, or reach out to me on Ko-Fior Discord to share your creations.
