Hey all,
Hopefully some of you remember me, I haven't been as active around here recently
.
I wanted to plug a game I've been working on for almost two years with a small team of students from UC Irvine. We started it at a game jam through the Video Game Development club, and we liked the mechanic so much we just kept working on it.
Camera Obscura is a puzzle-platformer that revolves around a unique mechanic that allows the player to activate a camera flash so bright that it creates "afterimages" of all visible platforms. These platforms are solid enough to walk on, and they can be moved around for a short time, mimicking the player's movements. This ability allows players to cross wide chasms, reach high platforms, and otherwise alter the shape of the environment to accomplish the ultimate goal - reaching the top of the mysterious Tower. Check out this gameplay footage to get a better idea:

We put up the game's info on Greenlight this week, and it seems like we're making really good progress, and feedback has been very positive. We're pretty excited about it, and I hope you can support us!

Thanks all!
