<% tp.frontmatter["variable name with spaces"] %> --- For the past few weeks, I've been working on my first game project in [Godot Engine](https://godotengine.org). It's inspired (broadly speaking) by SNES action RPG games, but I plan on taking advantage of some of capabilities of modern hardware to make it more like an SNES++ game.  ### The Story In the game, you play as a hiker named _Beat_ who loses their way during a hike and finds themselves in a research camp.  The scientists at the camp seem to be investigating the presence of a strange organism called **Moonspore™**, which somehow Beat also seems to be drawn to.  Beat quickly discovers that some scientists have become infected by an organism that's taken over their mind and made them feral. <div style="background-color: #000000; width: 120px"><img src="./images/Enemy_Sapling_Walk_4x.gif"/></div> <p></p> Using weapons found or purchased from not-yet-feral humans using **Moonspore™**, _Beat_ must survive.  You can see a brief playthrough of my first test-level here: <iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/FoeoJDRplH4" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture" allowfullscreen></iframe> ### The Future I hope to have more updates to come soon and I will be publishing a demo to [my itch.io channel](https://nabisco.itch.io/) real soon.
