The End of the Universe

The End of the Universe is a game I have developed myself using Game Maker Studio 1.4.9999 at a game development course at UiT, Norway (INF-3910-8 V25).

It currently features 3 game modes, such as a puzzle solver, a racing game, and a walking simulator.

The game is translated into the following languages in addition to English, except for text displayed on help menus and those used in debug drawing, and are as follows:

• Norwegian: Thomas Pedersen
• French: Les Océanes
• Croatian: Dorian Badel
• Appalachian English: Ernie Roby-Tomic

The soundtrack to the game can be found on BandCamp:

Upcoming updates (after 5th of June 2025):
There will be updates for the game to fix programming bugs and UI/UX horror, and later down the line; a complete rewrite to get rid of technical debt and to improve its maintainability in the future.

Version history:
Version 0.5.1: 5th June 2025 @ 04:00:
Opening Cutscene:
- Fixed the broken textbox, so the text displays properly.
- Added overtyping support for localized text.
- Improved on the animated background.

Version 0.5:  4th June 2025 @ 14:00:
First release as a vertical slice of the whole game.
The overworld map (star map) is broken, so the game progresses like this:
Start --> Puzzle game --> Racing game --> Walking simulator --> Ending.
Due to the ending being unfinished at the time of this release, the game is won by finding a place in the Walking simulator that notifies you of an unofficial win condition, after which the game exits.
