Legend of Navette
Action-Adventure | PC | Godot | Game Jam | 3 days | 2022
View of the dungeon inside the engine, the level design was made directly in it with a tile system.
The first Zelda on the NES was the main inspiration, but I inspired myself from dungeons in the SNES and Gameboy games.
Pitch
​
The Legend of Navette is an action adventure game inspired by the first The Lenged of Zelda on the NES. Your little wizard must reach the end of the dungeon, beat the boss, and save Navette!

Project Description
​
As part of a game jam organized by the school association I am part of, Leo Indie Games, we made a game in three days with a team of 3.
​
The theme of the game jam was "Retro", so we decided to make a game inspired by the first Zelda game with me as the level designer, and using the engine Godot for training purpose. As the level designer I decided to take inspiration from how the dungeons were made in top-down Zelda games, and try to stay in the spirit of the original designs. I did take some liberties, like making the rooms two times the size as the ones in the frst Zelda game and come with new mechanics like turrets.
​
I had the idea of making the dungeon go in two directions, where one path was optional to obtain power-ups to beat the final boss more easily, but in the end the boss door was made a two-keys door to force the player to go into every room.
