And you thought the Noble Gasses were the good guys...
Currently in Development!
What is Periodic?
An Official TJ The Programmer Game
When finished, I'm planning on releasing the game to the public as my first self published title!
Summary
Before I get too far into writing about this game: This is a project that I have decided to take on to hone in some 2D development skills in Unity. The original idea of this game was posted by u/CybixStudios to /r/gameideas on Reddit.
I've decided to take this idea and work it into my own project. Some things may be similar, and if u/CybixStudios reaches out to me to continue the project or for input on what needs to be done I would love to make this game as close to what you're hoping as possible.
Update (12/16/19): I heard from u/CybixStudios, he is providing input for some of the development, but gave me the OK to use his idea and to make final call on designs.
Now that that's out of the way... What is this project? If you have ever played a Mega Man game, you'll be familiar with how there are multiple bosses that you must face in order to get to the final boss of the game, all with unique weapons. This game takes a different approach and uses the Periodic Table for the enemies. I will be posting updates to the Blog about what's been done, and what's being done. If anyone has some thoughts into what should be done, or would like to take part in some Alpha/Beta testing, please contact me!
