Loki's Adventures
RPG where you use different disguises to solve problems. Made for Global Game Jam 2026.
The theme of the jam was “mask” and we immediately started talking about some kind of stealth game where you use different disguises. After thinking about the setting, we decided on having you play as Loki and make some levels based on different mythological stories where he disguised himself to solve problems.
As the only programmer in the group, I had quite a lot to do. I started by making the movement, ability to copy forms from other characters, and a menu to change into forms you have learned. Each form also has a different variation of the background music that starts playing when you shift. Then came a simple dialogue system, cutscenes, transitions between scenes, and a variety of other things. I made guards that restart the level if you get too close, but didn’t have time to make them move and chase you down.
The whole weekend was kind of an intense blur of just working and fixing and making sure we at least had something playable at the end of it.
