Alien Game
Alien Game is an unnamed first person shooter where you play as an alien that has crash landed on Earth, with your main objective being to find a way back.
This is a smaller scale project of mine with my goals being to refine a long-term retro artstyle and experiment with different game mechanics while trying to get them feeling as polished and fun as I can.
I am also using this project as an opportunity to learn how to create in-depth AI, with enemies reacting and moving based on the environment.
I currently plan on releasing the project with 4 different levels that follow a linear story.
The layout and some developer gameplay can be seen here, although everything is subject to change.
Release Date: TBD 2025
Solo Developer
Development
I began development of this game in April of 2025 as a smaller scale project. The game is built in Unreal Engine with the objective of feeling like a retro shooter, both in gameplay and visuals.
As a developer, early on I had a big problem of overshooting when it came to projects. With my work on the smaller scale Ribbit Relay, I finally realized that I need to start at a much smaller scale before I can move on to large projects. I decided that this would be one of those smaller scale projects and it could also help me develop a standard and feel for my future games.
