Pixel Oscar 2: Mask of Nightmares

When we dream, we are transported into a whole new world. And like every place in the universe, evil is lurking. Henesys, the heart of the dream world, is falling apart. The dream worlds are losing their light and are being overrun by shadows, known to us as nightmares. A villainous group finds their way into this dream realm and seek to use the awakening to nightmare energy to free their dormant master. In the mean time, a mysterious masked figure is awakening nightmares so that they may consume the various dream worlds within the dream realm.

Pixel Oscar and his pixel pals arrive in Fernora, the town in the center of the Dream world. With the fading dream worlds, Fernora stands in clear sight of danger. Pixel Oscar and Co. must find a way to stop the menacing mask, banish the villainous posse, and save the dream realm from being consumed by the stirring nightmares.

Creating Pixel Oscar 2: Mask of Nightmares was, in a way, more difficult than the first. I had no limits with the first game. It was going to be the first time anyone met Pixel Oscar for the first time. But now, we know who he is and what he does. There is a reputation and it is important to live up to expectations and it necessary to surpass them. Due to my lack of scripting skills, I really did not have much to work with, so adding more to the gameplay was much more difficult. So I really did try to bring out the best of the script, and make the most out of what I know through eventing. I also explored more scripts and more ways to make the game more appealing. I even went as far as creating ladder graphics, which surprisingly, was something new to the sequel. It is strange that something as simple as ladder climbing was not available in the first game, and even HP bars for enemies. So many things have been added, that at one point I feared for that the Pixel Oscar essence would be lost. In the end, Pixel Oscar is meant to be a quick, simple, and classic game. After a while I realized that Pixel Oscar was still there, there were no radical changes, it was all just slabbing make-up on the original concepts. Levels do feel different, but in a good way. Every world has something different going for it, not only a change in scenery. Countless hours have gone into this game, physically and mentally. I am proud with the outcome. I really hope the players will enjoy it aswell.

-Now I'll have to reread this later. It is like 2 in the morning and who knows what random stuff I've slabbed on there.
