This is yet another jam game set in the same universe as several of my previous ones, and the second jam game featuring Kyra (the first one was Mechtobacillus). This one takes place 2 years before Mechtobacillus.
-------
The Research Samples follows Kyra's expedition to collect flowers from a different planet, happening in year 2587, mixing a top down shooter mechanic with a visual novel style in the dialogs and plot. And the game is fully voice acted!
While the top down gameplay contains enemies who can attack you, in this version of the game you can't die - the alien creatures attacking you are just a nuisance (there is a bug with the respawn, where the scanner pads and flowers reset, but you still keep your progress so it's fine). It was going to be an actual threat, but alas, jam time.
Still images in the visual novel part are done in blender, and it's where i spent 80% of the time making this game.
All the sound effects in the game are my voice: the blaster firing, the damage sparks, the wind, the birds,,, even the helicopter sound (canonically it's a "hybridcopter").
