"Run Away" is a simple game.

As you can see, being my first game, it's more like a half-finished piece. Yet, I still love it and dedicated half year to it.

I  modeled each building and streetlight by hand, designed levels, and wrote code. This might be the most earnest project I’ve worked on, especially since I knew so little at the time.

​

It’s an Parkour game, and there wasn’t any deeper consideration behind that — it was simply because this was the only gameplay I could do, so I went for it.

​

​

I included one of my favorite buildings, the Beijing TV building. I added zombies similiar to Minecraft's and sound effects from Plants vs. Zombies because I thought it would be fun. I even devised a way for players to parkour up to the highest building in this world, allowing them to break through the invisible wall.

​

​

All of this came together because I find them enjoyable.

I believe creating games should be as simple and fun as this. I made this game because I enjoyed it, plain and simple.

​

The game needed an ending, and since it's called "Run Away," I designed an exit for it — a surreal door. When players open this door, they aren’t transported anywhere; instead, a message simply appears on the screen saying, “You win.”

​

This design is random and absurd, but it’s also interesting.

Everyone probably has something they wish they could escape from, so I created a door in the game to tell players they win.

But in life, there’s no such door, and no one will tell you you win just because you managed to escape.

I wish there were such a door.

Finally, thank you for reading this, my friend, and I wish you be happy every day.
