Poacher

Post by Zyx »

Looks like there's a platformer coming from Ben "Yahtzee" Croshaw called Poacher. No information when it will be released.


[Poacher] is a Metroidvania-style platformer that's somewhat influenced by Cave Story amongst other games. You play Derek Badger, unflappable Yorkshireman, who stumbles upon a strange underground kingdom and gets caught up in a conflict between two mysterious magical races. I'm making it in Game Maker because current generation technology frightens me.

I saw the trailer some days ago and it seems the game doesn't take itself too serious. I like that.
