MISSION FILE / THE FIRST GAME

Anakin Arrows.

An arrow, a world to explore, and a lot of things that would rather you didn’t.

Anakin’s first game. Hosting update prepared with development assistance.

01 / BUILD NOTES

Mission

Build a world where moving, aiming, exploring and making decisions all matter. This is where Anakin’s game collection started.

02 / BUILD NOTES

Build

JavaScript modules power a Phaser 3 game, with separate scenes, player logic, projectiles, inventory and quests.

03 / BUILD NOTES

Game mechanics

Explore, fire arrows, collect items and use the shop. Experience and health systems turn a series of encounters into progression.

04 / BUILD NOTES

Interesting problem

Moving between scenes exposed connected problems: the house camera hid the player, house shooting lacked projectiles, and riddles could cover their own answers. The hosting update fixes those connections and adds touch controls while keeping the original world.

Next upgrade

Choose the next upgrade with Anakin: a new encounter, a new arrow type, or a better first-time guide.
