ABOUT THE PROJECT
Eclipse is a narrative-driven platformer where you play as the Sun Avatar, who journeys to meet his love, the Moon Goddess. It retells the Brazilian myth: Rise of Day and Night. This is a submission for Game Jam Plus Manila 2022, GJ+ Incubation, and Conquest 2023: Indie Zone.
I was the Game UX Designer on this game jam. My key role was to design the game flows, game mechanics, GUI, and HUD. I was also in charge of the overall look and branding of the game.
INCUBATION PITCH
ITERATION 1: GAME JAM
Eclipse started as a 2D Celeste-inspired platformer that explores the Brazillian myth of celestial romance.
Below is the trailer made by Zeurille and the first draft of our pitch for the game jam.

GJ+ INCUBATION ANNOUNCEMENT
After a month of finishing the game jam, we were shocked to learn that we got into the incubation stage and were one of the selected teams in the “Tales of Us” sponsored category.
CORE GAMEPLAY MECHANICS
After learning about the news, we then decided on writing the lore and the main core gameplay mechanics to implement:
-
traverse terrains → sacrifice ability → unlock portal
FINAL DESIGNS
CONQUEST 2023: INDIE ZONE
We also had a chance to exhibit our game at CONQuest 2023! We polished our incubation build to be able to present a demo. I would like to thank the organizers at Game Jam+ Manila and IGG Philippines for this opportunity. This was our first time exhibiting our game at a convention.
