Short Action Hero (prototype)
Please note those are early prototype screenshots.
No (3D) team was involved and they’re heavy work in progress screenshots of different stages in early development.
Short Action Hero is a text adventure prototype.
The player controlling is based on pure text input (e.g.: “Walk into kitchen”; “Pickup Cup”; “Put cup in the coffeemachine”; …) handled by a parser and interpretor.
Real Time Strategy Game (prototype):
Please note those are prototype screenshots.
No (3D) team was involved and they’re heavy work in progress screenshots of different stages in early development.
The player is building a space station with procedural generated rooms based on “Tetris” tiles.
Working like “Dungeon Keeper” the player has to train his soldiers, resulting in different abilities like farming resources, defending the base, reparing sections of the base, and so on.
Thank you for reading, would love to hear from you!
