Asunder is (will be) a game 'revolving' around Time & Space manipulation, loosely Metroidvania.
This is a Tech Demo of the now virtually complete core engine.
All graphics, sounds and music are merely placeholders.
This demo highlights some of the capabilities of the engine. You can:
- *Rewind Time
- *Slow Down or Speed Up Time - Specific to Each Object
- *Run Along 360° Surfaces
- *Attack By "Rewinding" Enemies
- *Parse Generic Scripts
- *Much Much More
This engine is currently ready to move into the next phase of production- making an actual game out of it. I'm glad to hear all feedback, especially critical, as this is the time when it can most influence the game's core. I'd love to hear how it runs (or doesn't) on everyone's computers. You may experience issues if your GPU is not particularly good, as some of the pixel shader effects are strenuous and on large textures.
In the next few weeks I'm planning to start putting together a team of people who would be seriously interested in working on this as a potential commercial product- I'm open to all ideas. I'll post more about that later in the other forum, but if you're interested always feel free to contact me. Its not too often someone's got a complete engine thats completely malleable, ready to start making a game!
So to everyone who recognizes me from haunting various communities for the past decade- Hi! And before anyone asks- I started making this a loooong time before Braid. Though I agree Braid is quite awesome!
Controls:- Arrow Keys :: Move
- Ctrl :: Attack
- Shift :: Jump
- Enter :: Rewind Time
- Escape :: Menu
and for the purposes of the tech demo testing, I've included debug controls:
- "+" (plus) :: Speed Up Time
- "-" (minus) :: Slow Down Time
- "L" :: Set the Player's speed (to same as above controls)
- "X" :: Sends the player rewinding for 5 seconds
- "O" :: Blasts you quickly backwards through time
- "P" :: Lowers gravity to 30%
- "Q" :: Executes the "BOSS" script
- "Z" :: Pops up a dialog displaying the level contents
- "H" :: Pops up a dialog displaying the current sounds
Anyway, please let me know what you think. Thanks!
