A young Raccoon is destined to succeed his famous grandfather in the duty as "The Great Raccoonteur". To be able to make the traditional, secret mushroom soup recipe for the inauguration, he embarks on the adventure of his life time, experiencing that some of his grandfathers' stories are more than that.

This game prototype has been created by one person with a myriad of OpenSource assets (for a detailed list, see "list_of_opensource_assets.txt" in the download section below or in the game menu) over five days (60 to 80 hours total) for the The Pacifist Jam (Honest Jam IV), which lasted from July 23rd 2022, until August 1st 2022. The task was to create a game without violence as core game play mechanic. This entry tries to show this with a classical platformer scheme; a genre that normally uses a lot of (stylized) violence. As a core game mechanic, it was planned to focus onto the influence of the inventory onto the player's abilities to act (running, jumping, etc.). Due to time constraints, this feature is only partially implemented.

Edit August 2nd, 2022:

Updated the information on the itch.io page about how to play/get the best gaming experience.

Due to the positive feedback so far, I decided to revisit the project in the future: Bug fixes and updates will be provided at https://itch.io/the-raccoonteur
