Valerie
An Introduction to Valerie!
What is it?
It follows the story of our protagonist, Valerie:
Having crash-landed a plane on a snowy mountainside, Valerie is rescued by two children whose dad has gone missing. Despite being stranded herself, she becomes wrapped up in their circumstances and sets out to help them while uncovering the mysterious situation. Companionship, danger and magic awaits!
Abilities
Valerie has magic abilities that go well with her agile nature.
The bubblegun ability allows her to trap objects in a bubble, sealing away threats while providing a trampoline-like surface for her to bounce from. Jumping on the bubble at the right angle is important to soar in the right direction!

What’s next?
The game is currently a good way into development, with around 3 hours of story content and 30 ‘areas’ to explore. It’s difficult to say exactly how much is left, but all of the core mechanics are complete and the major points are planned out.
I’d also like to add a challenge mode, where the player can re-visit old areas or unlockable bonus levels.
As for this blog, I expect to be posting about:
