🛠️ Development Notes
Old Monterrey was developed using the open-source framework libGDX, written entirely in Java using Android Studio.
Level design was handled using Tiled Map Editor (.tmx format), and sprite work and animations were crafted in PyxelEdit.
The game is inspired by a fictional version of Monterrey, Mexico, imagined as a rural, semi-futuristic town from the 1970s — filled with rustic charm and hints of modern technology like antenna towers and alien tech.
Looking ahead, I hope to develop a sequel set in present-day Monterrey, where the main character returns older, wiser, and still full of energy to continue rescuing goats and facing new extraterrestrial threats.
