Root Velocity
A downloadable game
PROTOTYPE V0.3 [ IN EARLY DEVELOPMENT ]
Play as a cute robot girl named Bramble! Climb through a vertical desert wasteland to reach drop pods and revitalize the planet with plant life once again.
5~10 minute playtime
This is a 3D adventure platformer with manual climbing mechanics and a procedural animation system used to traverse and explore. This prototype helps players get antiquated with the style and functions of the game before final mechanics and goals are added. More of a tech demo right now.
We dare you to find the drop pod!
DEVELOPMENT INFO:
Important Note: this is a very early build--the current procedural system has only just started working in some capacity and still requires significant updates. When we say "procedural" we are not being hyperbolic. Everything from the walking to the climbing is a combination of code, physics, and inverse cinematics with 0 animation data. In the settings menu there is a 'dev view' for you to see what's actually happening. This system was inspired by Grow Home [2015] | Ubisoft Reflections.
