Sourpuss – An Independent Game Release

 I just released an Unreal Engine 5 game on itch.io! Click the link below to see the store page:

The game is called Sourpuss, which is the name of a race of grumpy aliens that like to eat candy. You play as the cosmic bounty hunter DANGERWIND who has to defeat them. The game features a hand illustrated cartoon introduction and one medium sized level filled with puzzles. Gameplay time is about half an hour, depending on how quickly you solve the puzzles.

Check out the trailer here:


This project started as a week-long prototype. I was happy with the results, but ended up shelving it for a while. This year I decided fix it up and get it polished enough for a public release.

I haven't done a solo effort like this in a while. Scope is a major issue, you have to focus on a manageable set of features. And it really makes you appreciate your larger dev team, when taking on big projects.
