Post news Report RSS Evolving to a publicly playable demo

How my project evolved from a mere prototype with placeholder graphics to something I can proudly let the public play.

Posted by on

Roughly a year after development, I am proud to announce my first publicly playable demo of my 3D platforming game: Besus: Journey for Vitality.

Please keep in mind that items are subject to (and likely will) change.

The controls are as follows:

  • Movement: Left Joystick / WASD
  • Camera: Right Joystick / QERF
  • Jump: A Button / J
  • Grab Objects: B Button / N
  • Attack: X Button / K
  • Dive: Y Button / I
  • Look Mode: Right Bumper / U
  • Snap Camera Behind Player: Push Right Joystick / Y

Development of this title began back in February of 2014 and I feel as though it has finally reached a publicly playable state. Originally started in UDK as a multi-perspective platforming shooter, it eventually found its way to Unity and was re-tooled to what I was beginning to mold the UDK shooter in to: a 3D platforming game. This process was detailed in one of my blog posts: Venture in to UDK - That ended with Unity.

It didn't take long before I would evolve it to what I have today. Starting as a "template" from the Unity asset store:

To adding gameplay elements and changing out character models:

Establishing a more cartoon-esque look:

And the move to a more detailed world, fully utilizing Unity 5's shaders:

It's been quite the journey over the course of a year. Needless to say, there is a lot more to do, but I feel as though the identity itself has been established.
