LANIAKEA: a 16-Bit Metroidvania Style-Platformer

About:

Hello and welcome to LANIAKEA. This is my first attempt and "OneManProject" in making my own game. Since I've always been a big fan of Metroidvania games (my favourites: SUPER METROID (SNES) and CASTLEVANIA SYMPHONY OF THE NIGHT (PS)) I wanted to create my idea of a tribute to those. This project is complety build up in my sparetime and as for training in making games in UNITY.

Planned implementations for the future:

• New Enemies/Bosses

• More Rooms/Bigger World

• New Music/Sound FX

• Story

• New Weapons

• Weapon modificators

• Abilities

• ...

What are METROIDVANIA Games?:

Metroidvania is a subgenre of the action-adventure video game with gameplay concepts similar to the Metroid series and some games of the Castlevania series. Metroidvania games generally feature a large interconnected world map the player can explore, though access to parts of the world is often limited by doors or other portals that can only be opened after the player has acquired special items, tools, weapons or abilities within the game. Acquiring such improvements can also aid the player in defeating more difficult enemies and locating shortcuts and secret areas, and often includes retracing one's steps across the map. Through this, Metroidvania games include tighter integration of story and level design, careful design of levels and character controls to encourage exploration and experimentation, and a means for the player to become more invested in their player character.
