Kaito

“Where Kaito’s from, mages train under a single master from childhood until the day of their graduation, where they are tasked with something great. All Kaito had to do was open a portal. What could go wrong?”

Kaito is a top-down RPG inspired by The Legend of Zelda: Link’s Awakening DX, developed in GameMaker.

I started work on it in June 2022 as the submission for a game development course taking place in my school. The idea for it started off incredibly simple—just some bullet points in a text file—but I rolled with it, and I ended up making something I really liked for my final year at school.

It’s a little rough around the edges at some points due to the time constraints I had working on the game, but it is technically the first fully-complete game that I’ve made on my own, so I’m quite proud of Kaito and his little world!

The game is available for Windows on itch.io.
