Henry, a 4th grader,  created the concept for Acorn Quest.

Henry submitted his vision to the Celebration of Young Game Designers' Event organized by ASAP!.

His submission included descriptions of gameplay, design goals, wireframes, character sketches, and plot details.

As a result of his submission being a selected entry, our team got together for a game jam and developed a game based on his designs!

This game is dedicated
to all of the kids that survived the COVID pandemic over the years.

The build at the top of the page is the full, complete, and polished version of the game jam game we worked on. It involved several hours of work done beyond the end time of the game jam because our team of professional artists and developers felt a personal passion and desire to make the game as polished as it could be.

The AQ Build here at the bottom is the "frozen in time" build that we pushed out in the final minutes of the game jam, and reflects what we were able to achieve within the set time parameters of the jam.
