What is this?

A Murder of Crows was created for a Game Jam hosted by my college. I gathered a team of two artist and we made a Survivors-like game inspired by the game 20 Minutes Till Dawn.

We decided to use Godot 4.5 as our engine because I was familar with it and it was friendlier to my artists than other engines like Unreal.

Inspiration/Reference

20 Minutes Till Dawn was the main inspiration for this game. It has the right balance of player control and gameplay variety that I wanted to capture in this project.

20 Minutes Until Dawn

I know Vampire Survivors popularized the "Survivor-like" genre, but I had never played the game before starting A Murder of Crows. However, half way through development I realized we should check out this game to see what inspirations 20 Minutes Till Dawn pulled from it as well.
