Illuyanka is such a good story. A timeless myth, a mysterious adventure, ideals vs monsters, cultural references that are so far from ours but the same humanity.
Last year, I created a text-based adventure using this story. It has a lot of bugs but it’s complete. I understand an HTML text game is not the best way to experience it, but it was the best I could make with my limited skills.
I am now shifting to developing Game Boy games, so I am thinking of a Game Boy adventure version of the story with the best pixel art visuals I can make based on actual archaeological finds and sites. But it takes time, which I currently don’t have.
We’ll see what future will bring. Stay tuned.
Right now, I’ve made up my mind to create an itch.io page, hoping this helps me stay committed.
The Game Boy project is still in development. The complete text-based adventure is here, check it out:
