This game, made for my women's history class, tells the story of Telesilla of Argos, a sickly child who went on to become one of the most influential female poets in Ancient Greece. And did I mention that she fought the Spartans and won? Special thanks to @joselieras for sprite recolors, custom tiles, and helping me with the research and game concept. The primary source used was https://www.worldhistory.org/Telesilla_of_Argos/, and we also had some help from Wikipedia. (Note: Not all graphics will be historically accurate, as we had to work within time constraints. However, we tried our best to make everything as accurate as possible within the time allotted. There is also debate over whether Telesilla's defeat of the Spartans actually occurred, but regardless, she was still an important and interesting female figure in Greek poetry.)
As Peppino would say, “Nice-a!”.
This is such a well crafted game. The player is nicely guided through the game, and the cutscenes are excellent. Nice work!
Thank you so much!
Good game,
