We are proud to present our third title:
Rain, Sand, Stars. And TIGSource has something to do with it!
Back when the Video Name Generator Competition
http://forums.tigsource.com/index.php?topic=1214.0 took part, I was learning Python and Pygame/Pyglet. I tried to participate and ended up getting the name 'Galactic Banjo Underground'. So I hacked up a prototype about a guy (just a square) who had to reforest some planetoids (just some circles) invoking raing by... playing the Banjo (it wasn't even there, but you get the idea).
Playing the Banjo created clouds, then it rained and finally some trees sprouted. Those planetoids were inhabited by bull-like creatures that you had to avoid by jumping and outrunning them, so that part was played like a bull-fight... without the violence involving killing the bull.
I never finished that game, but the prototype was playable and fun. So when years later we were asked to create a sample videogame for some talks about Unity3 we choosed Galactic Banjo Underground due to its relative simplicity. Or at least the original idea, because the banjo thing... Well, once we finished those talks we decided to finish the game properly, and here we are once again, back to TIGSource to show you...

And this is the introduction and some screenshots:
Not so long ago, our galaxy was a lush and beautiful place where all kind of creatures lived in harmony. But it all changed when a terrible sandstorm, raised my misterious powers, dried all vegetal life out turning every planet into a barren land.
All hope seemed lost. The maddening drought could last forever! Fortunately, there was still a chance... Tsuyu! A peaceful creature who had the ability to summon rain and thus bring trees back to life. Knowing that he was the only one who could stop this terrible situation, Tsuyu embarked upon a quest to reforest the whole galaxy, one planet at a time!
☆ Follow Tsuyu in a first journey that will take him across the Yakeraan planetoid system.
☆ Travel around 16 planetoids inhabited by Yaks, bull-like creatures that were once calm and nice.
☆ Tsuyu won't harm any creature: his only goal consists on making it rain, and Yaks can't be blamed for the drought. Moreover, Tsuyu is good-natured, nonviolent and well... quite small.That's it! A game that may fall on the short side, lasting about one or two hours. But we hope you will like it nevertheless. And who knows, Tsuyu may end up traveling to other planetoid systems and meeting new creatures...
We would love to hear your opinion!
