The Legend of Sky Wizards
But from the side
A 2D platformer set in a broken world.
In Legend of Sky Wizards, players enter a world shattered by a mysterious and powerful entity who,
in a fit of cosmic boredom, has splintered the wizard’s planet, leaving fragments of land
suspended in the sky. The wizards, now bound to these floating islands, must prove their
resilience by navigating a series of challenging obstacle courses and solving puzzles with their magic.But beware – this playful but capricious entity is watching, and failure won’t be the end. Death is only a setback, as the entity won’t let the wizards escape the game that easily. Respawn, strategize, and keep moving forward in this enchanting test of agility and wit. Will you master the art of sky-bound survival, or will the entity’s game outwit you?
As part of my college graded unit, I am developing Legend of Sky Wizards using SFML and C++
for core gameplay, with C# tools to streamline content creation and sharing.
This project extends the storyline and themes of my previous game, allowing me to explore
unique mechanics and immersive experiences in a customisable and interactive world.
The core concept for this graded unit assignment was to create a 2D arcade game with a 3D aspect.
While the 3D component could be used in various ways, I chose to render the game's scenes in
Unreal Engine, converting them into sprites to give the game a unique look.
This approach is inspired by other games that blend 3D rendering with 2D gameplay, such as
Octopath Traveler, Paper Mario, and Cuphead. By combining the depth and detail of
3D-rendered environments with classic 2D mechanics, Legend of Sky Wizards offers an engaging
visual experience that enhances gameplay immersion in a platformer format.
