About Elysian Fields with 0 comments by dreamcrafter-raul on May 24th, 2013

Hello IndieDB community! We are Dream Crafters. A really small, young and enthusiastic team of aspiring game developers. We are all freshmen students starting our journey in mastering the Art of crafting experiences. I don't want to encumber this short article with further details about us. If you want, you can read more about our story here.

So... What are the Elysian Fields? 

Elysium (or The Elysian Fields) is a conception of the afterlife that evolved over time and was maintained by certain Greek religious and philosophical sects, and cults. 

Hesiod wrote:And they live untouched by sorrow in the islands of the blessed along the shore of deep-swirling Ocean, happy heroes for whom the grain-giving earth bears honey-sweet fruit flourishing thrice a year, far from the deathless gods, and Cronos rules over them

Okay... But your game is dark and grim. 

Yes, it is. As a player in our game, you are not exploring the Elysian Fields themselves. You are lost in a strange realm, something similar to a purgatory. A cold and twisted place. A world of possibilities one could barely imagine.  Elysium plays a symbolic role in our game. It is your ultimate goal to reach the plains of eternal bliss.

That sounds cool, I guess... But how is this supposed to be entertaining and fun? 

It is not supposed to be fun. The world we create is merely a tool we use to deliver the experience we that want to craft. Elysian Fields is a game about self-discovery. It is about elucidating this mysterious world and the meaning behind it. It is about thinking outside the box and solving captivating puzzles... Not only logical puzzles, but psychological ones as well...

What is the current state of development?

The games is in a very early stage, and we have a long way to go until an alpha release. Almost all the game mechanics are in place, but we have to create content for the game. An early version of the first chapter is already completed, although we are currently redesigning some of its areas. We will soon start to work on the second chapter... As soon as our final exams will pass. (and hopefully so will we)

Here's a screenshot of one area we've just redesigned:

A howling canyon

What are your plans for Elysian Fields?

We want put quality over quantity. We intend to develop a short game. A game that you can complete in a single play session. We are going to invest as much time as we need to in order to create something as close to our vision as we can.

We are going to keep you up to date regarding any relevant progress we make through our IndieDB page and our blog.

Unity is actually an amazing engine. In just a few weeks I managed to go from zero experience in the engine, to a full game, published in the Google Play store.

Unity honors the ammount of time that you lend to it (stable editor and engine, great workflow, good support from the community), and that is not something I can say for a lot of things.

Highest Rated (6 agree) 7/10

The advantages of Unity are: +You can build for nearly all major plattforms +Easy to learn +Great assets pipeline, which supports most 3D packages +Great and helpful community and hundreds of useful tutorials +Good documentation +A big fund as backbone. So this engine will be further developed and getting better +one of the most optimized mobile engines So why I give only 7 out of 10? Well, Unity has unfortunately some really weak points: -Basic version is free. But if you serious about game development…

Hours of work lost...
I've been slaving away for about 5 hours creating my game when I suddenly got "Unity Editor has stopped responding". What a waste...
