Pulp & Click Adventure (A Pulp project foundation)

Hello! Please read the below before downloading.

During Playdate's Season 2 in 2025, Pixel Ghost released Shadowgate PD: https://play.date/games/shadowgate-pd/

As part of this launch, we're releasing a foundational project that explains how some of the systems work so you can take inspiration or maybe use the same systems in your game.

What this is:

• A Pulp project .json file you can use in Pulp
• A tutorial for how some of the systems in Shadowgate PD work (Inventory, room change, actions system)
• A load of code you can use in your own projects
• A couple of silly characters and a scenario that helps explain the systems

What this is not:

• A finished game
• All you will need to make a game (There's a loooong journey to take this to make something finished)
• Immediately sensical. It's complicated but hopefully explained in a way that makes some sense

How you could use it: Take a look through the code, tiles, systems, familiarise yourself and then consider taking some or all of it into a fresh project to understand how you could make a first person point-and-click adventure.

How to get started:

• Create a new game project in Pulp (Avoid overwriting existing projects!)
• Import the .json file in to this new project 
• Once imported, you'll find a lot more instructions for how everything works in tile/game/player/start scripts. Most parts are annotated
• If you play the game, you'll see how everything works and comes together

I'm also around if you have any questions. I'll try my best to help :)
