I'm Ben Lesko, a fourth-year Game Design and Production student at Abertay University in Scotland. I've spent a decade as a Game Journalist, and now, I'm pursuing my passion for game development. Today, I'm excited to introduce you to my Honours Project: an HD-2D indie game inspired by classics like Devil May Cry, Octopath Traveler, and '90s beat 'em ups.
Demon Sword aims to capture the essence of classic hack n' slash games while giving them a fresh, modern look. I believe that understanding a genre's roots and core mechanics is essential for creating successful games. However, many early games suffer from outdated controls and frustrating design choices due to technological limitations.
To bring the fun back to these classics, I'm using the HD-2D technique, inspired by Square Enix's Octopath Traveler. This method combines 2D pixel art with a 3D environment, breathing new life into the genre. I've chosen Unreal Engine to power this project, ensuring a visually stunning and immersive experience.
🗓️ I stream the development live whenever I work on it, so make sure to tune in regularly to see the progress firsthand.
