Com-Game for quanty bandit, April 2023
qb Laboratory is a short exploration game made with GB Studio.
Visit the quanty bandit laboratory, interact with the equipment, talk to our agents or other visitors and unlock the door to the Maskotios study room!
qb laboratory is a "Com-Game" (Communication Game) presenting the fictional quanty bandit's offices and laboratory in an old-school Pokemon-like style. The player can learn about the lore of quanty bandit games and the people involved in its creation by exploring and interacting with objects and NPCs.
I would find it interesting to visit fictional versions of indies and AAA studios! What do you think?
Playable in any browser on PC and mobile.
The glowing object mechanic
In this game, every interactable object has a glowing sprite attached to it.
Due to the engine limitation, a game scene can only have a maximum of 10 actors (Characters, objects...). In some scenes, I was not able to create interactions with every objects of the environment as planned. This was not working well because the same object could have a description in one room and not in another room, making it confusing for the player.
I added this glowing effect inspired by the first Resident Evil game to highlight possible interactions. I created two color variants (white and green) to make the effect visible on any background. I also created four animations with different timings, so they don't glow in sync.
