Plankter is a (very) short exploration game set in 2055. It is the beginnings of a story about Dr. Plankter (a doctor who became a paraplegic in the last couple of years), and Pixel (a dog that has an increased level of intelligence to the point of seeming human).

The story begins after you've docked with an abandoned space station.

Development

This game was developed for the Free-Software Purism Game Jam using Haxe and HaxeFlixel.

I only found out about the game jam a week prior to it concluding (July 10, 2024) and thought it would still be a bit of fun to try and build a game, even if it doesn't get completed.

I did find writing/planning the story to be a bit of fun, so I may (no promises) continue the story in another game.

A short adventure game with two well known mechanics: multiplay player character and a travel log scattered among many computer stations.

The writing is very good, fun at times, touching at times.

I hope to see more from the author.
