Borealis [DEMO]
A downloadable game
Borealis is a WIP "Arena Shooter" in the same vein of games as Devil Daggers, Hyper Demon, and their great-granddaddy Quake. Fight hoards of hostile creatures with an array of attacks and skills that can be chained together and/or combined to open up new strategic opportunities.
This project aims to create an emergent gameplay experience with a heavy focus on deep, interconnected game mechanics and the fluid movement systems that Quake-like games have become known for.
Please note: This project is still in its early stages of development and is in a rough and unpolished state. There are glitches, bugs, and performance issues. Everything is subject to change as I am rapidly iterating in the process of development. I'm just a self-taught solo dev working on this in my (severely limited) spare time, so bear with me as I share a little piece of my passion project with the world.
