Hey everyone, we are Underdog Games and welcome to our page. As you may or may not know from the summary above, we are a small group of students who are about to enter our final year at Salford University. During this final year, we are required to build a full conversion mod using an engine of our choice as part of a final project, which makes up a large proportion of our degree.
But what about the game itself? Well throughout the first month we threw several ideas back and forth, spreading across multiple genres and game types. A few ideas which didn't make the cut included a beat-em-up racing game and a dream based, psychological horror. In the end however, we all felt that the best idea was to create a game that would reinvent the Classic 3D Platforming genre, reminding players about the true spirit of Platform titles and what they stand for.
Since then, each member has been working hard in their field of expertese and as a result, we currently have a test level in development, aimed to show some of the standard puzzles and mechanics that will be used. When this is complete, we plan to work on the remainder of the game, create a small, teaser trailer and really drive home the fun and humour that will help create an enjoyable, memorable experience.
In the mean time however, from everyone at Underdog Games we would like to say thank you for taking an interest in our project, and we hope that next month's announcement will get you as excited and as hopeful as we are. :)
