Dedicated Healer

Dedicated Healer is a short RPG made for the Super Nintendo Style Graphics Jam hosted by StoreBoughtRocket Games in 2024. The development time unfortunately coincided with my return to professional skill development, so it's pretty skeletal in regards to its mechanics and balance, but it is playable and I got to practice a good amount of pixel art with it, so it was worth the attempt.

The constraint was "you are not the main character", so instead you plays as a temporary healer for the actual main character.

Controls are:

Arrow Keys - Move

z/space - Confirm / Proceed

x/escape - Cancel / Back / Menu

Can hold Confirm in order to fast-forward dialog and scenes

Will probably not function right through mobile, but will play in browser on computers. The resolution does not dynamically scale, so the viewport is kind of locked at its display size through the browser. I'm trying to figure out how to fix that for future projects, because it can be fullscreened correctly on desktop.

The assets used in the game are credited through the title screen credits option. Outside of those though (or cuz I forgot to patch them in!), Screaming Brain Studios provided the abstract noise I manipulated for the title screen, and the human walkcycle template is the Guildmaker7 template from Despair Party!
