Hello everyone!
We’ve just recently started building our game in UE4. It’s a pretty unique handcrafted side-scroller with stop-motion elements, so you probably like it if you’re into Selick/Laika/Burton type of movies. At first we intended to work in Unity, but then switched to UE4, that we all here love so much. :o
All props are made by hand, photographed and then used in the game. This is how it looks in action.
The game also has beautiful stop-motion cutscenes.
And here are some props.
Knite and the Ghost Lights is set in Mistland, a mysterious world with a unique visual style, rich mythology and history spanning over many centuries. Ancient colonies, epic wars, alchemists, heroes, brave explorers, witches, giants, demons, etc. It would take eternity to mention everything that happened there in the past, so we created the official Wiki for those who want to dive deeper into the world of Mistland.
You play as Knite, a marsh imp whose life suddenly changes and flies off the rails. An ordinary Mistlander who never stepped beyond the bounds of his home, he starts his daring journey to distant lands determined to help his friends who lost their will to live and turned into Ghost Lights.
This story is about a former bookworm and homebird who becomes a part of the great adventure and gradually turns into a real hero for the sake of those who he loves.
We work hard to release the game in 2017. Hope you like it, and please feel free to tell us what you think about this project. And, if you want, about Metroidvanias, side-scrollers and stop-motion projects in general.
