Digital 2D & 3D Animated Game

Long ago, fish were able to evolve with legs, allowing them to enjoy life on land. We follow a story of a fish with legs named Fishy Boy, that was living a peaceful life alongside other fish-legged brethren. Then all of a sudden, new creatures start to emerge in the sea with newly evolved limbs, abilities, and desire to eat the Boy family. Has the lack of fish left them starving? Not only must we protect our family, but we must protect our home! Inspired by both fishing and boss battle games, my project is an interactive 2D and 3D animated game that allows you to interact in the main overworld map in preparation for the boss-battle levels. Using a keyboard and mouse, the player will be able to control the main character and interact with items, menus, and bosses implemented in different areas of the game. The player will need to fish for items in the overworld and use them in boss battles to the best of their ability. There will be small cutscenes used as a way to describe the story of the game shown in the beginning, the end, and in between parts of the overworld.
