Some Thoughts on How Rochard Was Made

If you were to make a side-scrolling puzzle-platformer with the Unity engine, it might look a little something... like this.

Looks neat.

Also, the music is done by the pianist of Poets of the Fall - or, better known as them what did the Max Payne 2 Late Goodbye theme.

Coolio. I liked this game quite a bit, there are some pretty inventive mechanics and puzzles in it. Would definitely recommend people give it a try.

@beard_of_zeus: I agree. It's no Portal but if you like puzzle games it's definitely worth a play.

Unity? Never would've guessed. It's popping up more and more frequently these days, one of my colleagues is even working on a networking replacement for Unity.

Edit: Dag namit, now I want to play around with Unity again...

I've recently started learning Unity and my end assignment will be to create a full game with it. Rochard nicely showcases its capabilities, although I'll be working off a student license.

Still, I'm fairly confident it'll turn out decent.

I passed on this because Jon St. John is kind of obnoxious as a voice actor. It looked pretty fun though.

I am currently doing Computer Game Design in college and Unity is one of the core modules. Only done 4 weeks of it so far, it's really great!

I love Unity! It's allowing me to chase after my game design dreams. Had the pro version for over a year now. The engine has a much lower barrier for entry than Unreal, it has an ever expanding feature set, and there are the options to release for a bunch of platforms at once!

Also, this game looks sweet!

I like the style. In fact it looks better than Shadow Complex.
