A Game About a Band

And this band is called Die Streuner (The Strays in English).
I am a big fan ever since I've discovered them in 2007 and I had the opportunity to get to know the different people better over the years.

So why not try and create a little game about them and at the same time learn a bit about game development. Maybe I'll even manage to create a playable version.

At the moment it is more of a very simple techdemo but I hope to change that in the near future.

In the meantime take a moment to listen to the music of Die Streuner:

• Gotta get it Home (Live)
• Scherenschleiferweise (Knife Grinder's Tune)

Usage

Use arrow keys for movement and enter to get rid of dialogs (for movement w, a, s, d & h, j, k, l works too).

You can either build it locally (mostly for development) or with docker (for distribution).

History

I started a first version of this in ~2008 with the RPG Maker (no idea which version), back when I had even less an idea of software development than today :)

The only thing surviving is the following screenshot:
