Blackthorne

Blackthorne is shooter platformer game created by Interplay and Blizzard in 1994.

The game focuses around protagonist Kyle Vlaros who is known as the Blackthorne, out for revenge on Sarlac and his minions through a series of 2D levels.

In 2013, Blizzard released the game for free on Windows and MacOS. You can download it here.

About this Project

For now, this project aims to recreate only the Practice Level using Unity engine with some cool 2D features. It's important to keep the project scope low right now.

The game target platform is WebGL. For each milestone, a beta release will be freely available for you to play using only your browser. No need to download any programs.

I'll try my best to share the development journey with you thought short posts and videos. Let's learn more about gamedev together!

You can check the source-code for this project here.
