Elevator Pitch UPDATE:

Knock 'Em Off: Ryder Sterling

Ryder Sterling has run away from his home. On his way to wherever the road takes him, he must fight for survival in the monster infested land outside the kingdom's walls. With his arsenal of weapons and a mix of martial arts techniques, Ryder will fight his way to freedom, escaping the unwanted lifestyle his father believes he is destined for.

Smash Bros. Ultimate meets Fantasy, Shooter, Platformer

Knock 'Em Off: Ryder Sterling is designed to be a side scroller 'Beat 'Em Up' Game, so the controls will be similar to classic games of this genre, but instead played with a mouse and keyboard. 'A' and 'D' Keys will move Ryder left and right (while pressing LShift he will sprint). 'Space' will allow Ryder to jump over obstacles and enemies. 'Left-Click' on Mouse will allow Ryder to perform a range of attacks, depending on his weapon loadout.

Knock 'Em Off: Ryder Sterling Selling Points:

Dynamic and fun fighting mechanics

Pixel Artstyle

Foundational story elements

Is there more to Ryder's story?

That One Alien RPG, BB's Adventure

On his way home, Blip bloop (AKA BB) has crash landed on an unknown planet. The ship is in absolute ruins and has no other means to return home. BB must find the parts to fix his ship to return home, but he's going to need some help on the way. Some of the planet's inhabitants are kind and caring, others not so much. BB's life is about to change for the better, or worse, that's up to you to decide.

Undertale meets SCI-FI Shooter, Platformer

That One Alien RPG, BB's Adventure is designed to be a side scroller, so the game controls are very simple. Left and Right Keys (<-, ->) will move BB left and right & the Space Bar will allow BB to jump. (BB is planned to have a laser blaster).

About Me

Hello everyone, my name is Liam, and I am a first-year university student studying Game Development. I plan to use this Tumblr Blog; Literally Liam, to keep track of my learning and reflections from each week of my studies. This semester I have already looked at and used different programs including Unity, Python, Adobe Photoshop, and Audacity, but my posts will be focusing on the development of my skills in GDevelop. GDevelop will be the primary program used to introduce the foundations of Game Design. Although having played video games my whole life, there are so many aspects in game development that I have not previously considered. I am excited to learn more about these unknown areas, especially within Game Design and Software Technologies. I plan to major in Animation as that is my main interest when it comes to video games, especially with Gameplay Animation and Cinematic Game Animation. Prior to my studies in Game Development, I partially completed a degree in Film, which has taken part to my interest in Cinematic Game Animation. I feel like it is necessary to mention my favourite games, so here goes; Kingdom Hearts II (2005), Uncharted 4 (2016), Red Dead Redemption 2 (2018), Resident Evil 2 (2019), Resident Evil 4 (2023) and Final Fantasy VII Rebirth (2024). I have just finished Final Fantasy VII Rebirth after 73 hours and cannot wait for the final instalment, hopefully retaining its legacy from the original in 1997.
