I Want To Break Free - [Personal & Mentoring Program Project]

(Made from February to May 2021)

I Want To Break Free is a 2D platformer, centered about a princess who is attempting to escape the dungeon she's trapped in. The game has as a goal to give the player full power over their adventure, and to allow them to chose how they'd like to escape: by becoming the hero and destroying their enemies, or by showing said enemies they could be the heroes of their own story and not only secondary characters destined to follow orders from main characters.
This was a personal project created entirely by me, as my entry for the Womxn Develop At Ubisoft 2021 program, a project to give women and non-binary people a creative voice in the video game industry. With my project, I got through the entire program, although I did not win at the end, it was a very interesting experience.​​​​​​​

The game is playable on itch.io:

The inspirations for the 2 abilities feature are Choose Your Own Adventure books, Undertale and Dungeons&Dragons.
The inspiration for the character sprites is Paper Mario. The inspirations for the bonuses sprites are icons used in sketch noting, in order to make them as readable and understandable as possible.

Presentation page translation:
The player's choice.
The player plays what we consider a secondary character - the princess, waiting for a knight to rescue her, a fairytale like any other... But who would rather play the princess, when you could be the hero?
What if she became the hero?
