Single Player Action Platformer
University Capstone Project
ABOUT HALEN
Halen: Ballad of the Blade Thief is a single player, third person action platformer, where the player uses combat and agility to navigate the environment, fight enemies, and find secrets, while trying to escape the dangerous temple.
The game started as our team’s fourth year university project, but after working on it for so long, we knew we had to release it. We began working on the game in March of 2016, and finished it in April 2017. Our goal was to create a polished game experience that abides by industry standards, and is accessible to players of various skill levels. But above all else, we wanted to make a fun and well designed game, filled with interesting characters and great experiences.
