Engauge is a 2-D action platformer set in a vibrant world of buzzing machinery.
Engauge is an action-adventure game inspired by the ambience and presentation of games like Bastion and Dark Souls, conveying story through tone.
Engauge is designed around tight controls and platforming.
The mechanics consist of running, jumping, wall-jumping, defending and using primary and secondary abilities. Primary and secondary abilities are determined by items known as cores.
Currently, there are seven cores planned for Engauge. Besides cores, Engauge also features:
Forged in C++, Engauge is being developed for PC, Mac and Linux. In accordance to Programmer Ian’s wishes, Engauge will be released DRM free and will be designed to be modding friendly.
Sidenote: If possible, we would like to also release Engauge on the various consoles but without significant support from the respective communities this is unlikely. Don’t worry though, we are still planning for the port and expect Engauge to have an optimized control scheme/level layouts in case of release.
Here it is folks, the Engauge pre-alpha demo!

For you non-tech types, here are a few simple instructions that will ensure that you enjoy the pre-alpha splendor of Engauge.
There are a few things I'd like to mention before you all play the demo. First off, the EngaugeDemo may crash when you load the second area. It shouldn't be a problem on any subsequent runs though.
Second, the demo doesn't feature any sounds or music! But you can listen some of Lawrence's other tracks and sounds at Soundcloud.com I'd suggest you check it out. I really dig 'Zombies Among Us' and 'I Love Brains!'
Finally, the demo prominently features outdated enemies. These enemies have yet to receive a visual rework and are still pixel-y despite everything else being vector art. In the near future, we will be updating the enemies to be more consistent with Ethan's distinctive style.
That about covers the demo announcement. If you enjoy the demo, please be sure to share, share, share! Be sure to also check out our Kickstarter. We're already 80% of the way there! Long live the Republic!
