Fae Keeper

Welcome to Fae Keeper!

Fae Keeper is a small game built for GameDev.TVs 2025 Game Jam with the theme "Small Worlds".

In Fae Keeper, you take on the mantle of "Village Caretaker" with the goal of keeping the fae of your village happy and alive. Right now you do that by simply continuing to feed the fae.

Notes:

• The game is fairly sparse, I had to ditch my original idea half way through the timeframe as I realized I just wasn't able to finish the original idea in time for the deadline.
  • Original idea was a Zelda esc 2D exploration game as the caretaker
• Users are unable to navigate back to menu.
  • I was running into an issue where the engine was complaining about not being able to update graphics during the graphics update loop.
  • I couldn't find the culprit of the issue and this only happens when you exit the gameplay scene and go back into it.
  • Didn't have enough time to find the cause and implement a solution so I had to scrap the pause menu.
• I might work on an updated version of this after the game jam when the time crunch isn't there.
