Govannon
Govannon (Gofannon in Welsh mythology, Goibniu in Irish mythology) is a master craftsman, metalworker and bladesmith. He is also the brewer of the Ale of Immortality. I’ve selected Govannon as my project name in part due to my interest and project relevance, to Welsh mythology, and in part because of the sheer amount of game mechanic construction, or “forging” which must be done for this project.
Project Govannon will be primarily a technical prototype for what will become the final game. The goal of this project is not to produce a polished, smoothly running application, but to discover the means at which what is intended can be possible.
