Nach drei Jahren Entwicklungszeit ist The Path of Motus bereit für seinen Release. Das Spiel erscheint am 17. Juli für PC, XBox One uns PS4. In diesem Titel erkunden wir die psychologischen Folgen wenn man unter „Bullying“ leidet. Als Kampfsystem werden Worte verwendet welche die Kraft haben Gegner zu zerstören.
Darum geht es:
Wir steuern den namensgebenden Goblin Motus durch einen mysteriösen Wald. Jeder der es bis jetzt versucht hat aus dem Wald zu entkommen kehrte hoffnungslos und geschlagen zurück. Unsere Aufgabe besteht darin diverse Brücken zu bauen um einen Weg zu schaffen.
Das sagt der Entwickler:
„When I was younger, I was interested in what made bullies act so aggressive. As time went on I began to befriend some of them, and learned they had either been bullied themselves earlier in life, had really bad family lives, or were just simply jealous of other people; I kept all of this in mind as I designed the game. As Motus gradually grows from a child to an adult, you’ll get to explore the motivations of the characters you meet, and I expect you’ll have some surprising moments in the process! I feel the discussion around this topic often ignores the root causes of bullying, so hopefully this game lets us see how our own actions potentially contribute to this issue.“
„I feel incredibly thankful for the opportunity to make this game. It means the world to see people play something I’ve made, and luckily this game has given me several opportunities to give back to some of you. I’ve launched a Youtube channel that shows people how to make their own games! At the end of my series, viewers will be able to make games for platforms such as PC, PlayStation 4 and Xbox One. It’s all free, and the programming skills I teach can be used in a wide variety of professions. Hopefully I can pass on the joy of game development to people who need it.“
