Tiny Spirits




PROJECT:


Welcome to Tiny Spirits, my solo passion project. I began working on it shortly after graduating, driven by a lifelong love for interactive worlds and the desire to create one of my own.
It’s been both a journey of learning and a way to bring a personal dream to life, while building the skills I’ll carry into my future career in interactive design.

Main Pillars
CORE OF THE GAME:
The heart of Tiny Spirits lies in its challenging combat and rewarding exploration.
Battles demand focus and adaptability, while exploration opens new paths, hidden routes, and powerful equipment—unique weapons, shields, and armor that grant valuable stat bonuses, buffs and abilities.
Combat
One-handed Weapons




Two-handed Weapons
Tiny Spirits features both one-handed and two-handed weapons, each with unique strengths.
One-handed weapons pair with a shield for blocking and parrying, while two-handed weapons trade the shield for extra weapon skills, similar to Dark Souls III’s Weapon Arts. Both styles allow casting weapon specific spells by spending mana, earned through landing melee hits.
Combat is driven by a stamina system, a stagger mechanic inspired by Elden Ring, and careful HP management.


Health
Stamina
Mana
OVERVIEW:
STATS:
Health measures your ability to withstand damage. Once it’s gone, you fall—making every decision in combat a fight for survival.
Stamina governs your attacks, blocks, dodges, and sprints. Managing it wisely is the key to maintaining control in battle.
Mana fuels your spells and special abilities. It’s gained by landing melee hits, rewarding aggressive play and smart timing.
STAGGER:
Directional strikes can stagger enemies, breaking their poise and creating a satisfying window for critical follow-ups like ripostes or backstabs—rewarding precision, timing, and position.

Exploration
The island hides its secrets in winding paths, forgotten ruins, and shadowed cliffs.
Every detour can reveal a hidden shortcut, a new route forward, or relics of power—rare weapons, shields, and armor that carry whispers of the past along with their stat bonuses and buffs.
OVERVIEW:
Paths weave together in an interconnected world, where each shortcut opened reshapes how you navigate the island.
Some passages remain sealed until you find the right key, unlock a one-way gate, or equip gear designed to overcome the island’s hazards.


Exploration brings more than new routes—it reveals powerful gear, hidden lore, and glimpses into the island’s forgotten history, etched into its ruins, whispered in its artifacts, and guarded by the creatures that remain.
