XSCAPE
A relentless post-apocalyptic survival game where you outrun danger, battle hordes, and collect powerful bonuses in a world that never stops challenging you.
The Concept of XSCAPE
The concept of my game started with a simple play on words, where the character constantly runs along the X-axis. The inspiration, however, came from the fake ads we often see for mobile games those visually enticing ads filled with hordes of zombies, weapons, multipliers, and other flashy elements. But when you actually download the game, it turns out to be nothing like the advertisement. I wanted to capture that initial excitement and visual appeal while also playing with the idea of expectations versus reality. At this point I just made what those ad games really do, express something but be nothing but good. I tried!
My Programming Background
I am currently a full-stack developer with four years of professional experience working with Node.js, Java, and Angular. I've always had a deep passion for visual projects, and a while ago, I discovered S&box with a friend. This discovery has been an incredible experience for me, as I’ve always wanted to create something related to games. S&box has provided one of the easiest ways for me to start and understand game development. That’s why I was excited to participate in this game jam, and here we are!
