Joust Royale

Experience a new kind of jousting in Joust Royale! Battle up to four players locally on your couch in this comically twisted version of medieval jousting. Shields up, lance up and mount a gastropod to become victorious. Royal Features: – Charge at your opponents, aim, and strike them with your lance! – Precisely time a powerful swing of your shield to SHATTER your opponent’s lance! – Fabulously customize your mighty gastropod riding knight to your heart’s content! – Explore different game modes with special rules. Find the game mode that you enjoy the most. Could it be stealing plumes from each other, playing until the last man standing, or maybe capturing the golden plume? You joust, you decide! – Saddle up! Not on horses! Riding horses in games is for the common people and we true knights will go riding on speedy-shelled gastropods or snails as you can also call them.

Atlantean Descent

Atlantean Descent is a Turn based tactical Roguelike Phone game where the players take the roles of Divers in the search for the Lost city ATLANTIS. You can design what rooms you go through by choosing room cards for your Deck to determine your Run. However; you hold no power over the order the rooms will show up in during your run! Of Course, your Diver needs equipment to face the dangers of the Depths, by buying items with gold. Using these and any other equipment you find on your way you will, with our action point system, move across the hex grid, attack and use items. Earn gold from defeating enemies and gain loot from clearing rooms; Defeat the Boss and be rewarded with the room cards for the next stage of the game, providing more challenges to your run. The lowest difficulty of the rooms in the built deck determines your Entrance Room and Boss Room, so any low difficulty room would give a low difficulty boss. This means that to collect any room card of the 3rd stage, the player must fill their deck with stage 2 cards, giving a 2nd stage boss, rewarding them with a stage 3 room card. Add more cards to your collection, build your deck, and creep closer to the lost city of Atlantis and the unraveling of its mysteries.

Dusk of Gods 2024

With our Unreal Engine 5 Boss-run Demo “Dusk of Gods”, we set out to create an immersive multiphase boss fight, empowering players to use magic during combat and for swift movement across a compact yet beautiful map. This demo is a remake of a game showcased at last year’s GGC, lovingly recreated by a team of two game students eager to hone their Unreal Engine skills and delve deeper into its mechanics.
