This is my game Spaceman Memories. I migrated it from Unity 2D into Unreal Engine 5 less than a year ago. I’m very happy to be able to finally share the first gameplay trailer of it. If you like it please add it to your wishlist on Steam at Spaceman Memories on Steam
Here’s the gameplay trailer
Set in a futuristic Japan overrun by spirits, Spaceman Memories is a true ode to classic JRPGs of the past. The game’s world coupled with its heartwarming narrative, offer players a chance to relive the good old days of 2D gaming. As the spaceman Ichiro 94, whose capsule mysteriously landed back home after a space mission, players embark on a poignant journey of self-discovery, encountering strange creatures, and battling formidable foes, all while uncovering the secrets of his forgotten past and ancient Japanese mysticism. With each step, players must also solve puzzles and use Ichiro’s abilities to fight, all of which are vital in the quest to uncover the truth about his past.

Hi there @NerdyPunkDev,
Hope you’re well and having a wonderful week so far 
I wanted to pop in and hype up a solo dev indie project. But I was absolutely blown away by how charming the art style is. It’s simultaneously nostalgic and new. Absolutely obsessed!
Do you plan on sharing more trailers/gameplay until the release?

Hi PresumptivePanda, thanks a lot for your kind comment, really appreciate it. Yes I do plan to release even more trailers before releasing the full game. I would consider this just the start of my marketing marathon and there’s still lots of work to do. Thanks a lot for keeping an eye on the project, have an awesome day.

Hello @NerdyPunkDev !
I can agree with @PresumptivePanda here when I applaud you for making the game look retro and new all at once. A big appeal is this 2d and 3d mesh you’ve made to create a unique environment. I cannot wait to see how you continue to develop this lovely new game!

Showing a bit of the different convenience stores known as Konbini in Japan. These will be places in which the Spaceman can reclaim health and energy to continue on his journey. Showing some models inside the engine and also a bit of older gameplay and modeling process inside Crocotile3D.

Water is often overlooked and many people coming to Unreal (as me at a certain point) start using Niagara Stuff or complex water plugins even when it isn’t needed. If a game doesn’t need buoyancy or physics based stuff for water I’ve found out the best one is the single layer water material. It really is very flexible to get different types of water. In this sea water here I’m using a normal map panning through the material to give the illusion of waves and wind.
Happy to share that the game will be part of the Latin American Game Showcase: The Game Awards Edition. Very happy to be part of this selection of cool indie games from all of this region. Catch the livestream on Twitch or Youtube through IGN, The Game Awards or the Latin American Game Showcase channels on December 10 at 4 pm Pacific Time.
This game looks amazing! It’ll definitely be on my watchlist! ^^
