Video game publisher Rising Star Games and game developer #BitmapBureau have delayed the #release of the 2D platformer 88 Heroes for #Linux, Mac and Windows PC.
The details in the video below seem to imply that part of the games source code has been shared online. Which would indeed upset development.
Features:
- Built with the “Super House of Dead Ninjas” game engine, 88 Heroes will be more expansive and feature even more variety in gameplay
- The game will be developed in Open FL, targeting PC, Mac, Linux and eventually consoles
- Steam API integration – Cloud saving, achievements, trading cards and leaderboards
- The hero and room order will be randomly generated with each play, meaning that players will always face a fresh challenge
- Hundreds of rooms across multiple areas to conquer with fearsome boss encounters
- Integrated level-editor allows players to upload their own room designs to Steam Workshop to share with the community
- 88 unique playable characters! Never seen before! Never done before! NEVER AGAIN!!
- Imagine every 2D action-platformer you’ve ever played rolled into one…AND THEN SOME!
- Slick retro (eighty) 8-bit look and ‘80s inspired chip-tune soundtrack.
- Watch the action from Dr.H8’s lair and watch him try to thwart your plans, drink coffee, go for toilet breaks and berate his accident prone henchmen!
- Bags of in-game humour, dialogue and cutscenes.
- Did we already say?…88 HEROES!! Just imagine drawing all that!?(Poor artists…)
