[WIP] The Harmony Of Buku (3d platform game)

Hi there

My name is Mariano Di Martino and I'm currently developing the indie game 'The Harmony Of Buku'.
The Harmony Of Buku is a cartoon 3d platform game based on classical platform games like Spyro The Dragon, Crash Bandicoot, Banjo-Kazooie, etc ...
The core of the game consists of fun and happy gameplay elements. We are trying to make a traditional game with no in-game purchases.
The development is still in an early stage. The budget is fairly low but we manage to handle it pretty good.
The release date has yet to be announced but the game will be released for Windows,Mac and Android.

Please leave some feedback on the YouTube video or in this thread. It will be greatly appreciated!



Thanks!

Looks nice!

 

Thanks! I appreciate that.

 

looks very nice, combi of zelda and psychonauts?

 

Thanks! And yes indeed, it has some gameplay elements of Zelda.
Especially the main character is based on him.

 

I've recorded alpha footage of a new level!
Keep in mind that the sound effects aren't fully done yet.
Also, don't forget to set the video in HD!

Looks good! Put up some screenshots too please (rules).

 

Sure, will do that in a minute!

 

I see hoping Tnt crates ^^ Crash Bandicoot is that you?

 

That took a long time before someone actually named that game
It's indeed heavily inspired by the Crash Bandicoot series. The core gameplay is the same as well as the linear level design.
We're developing The Harmony Of Buku to bring the experience of traditional 3D platforming back.

Very cool game! It looks pretty good and the gameplay indeed reminds to crash bandicoot the game deserves more attention.

Just a question: Is the shield anyhow used in gameplay? I haven't notice in the video. Maybe you have already some ideas.

Keep it up!

 

good looking... nice work DME. work alone? with graphics and coding?

 

incredibly nice looking game!

 

Thanks! The shield will be used as special attack. Those special attacks can't be used in the demo and are indeed not visible in the trailer. If you have an original idea for the shield, please let me know!

 

Thanks. I'm mostly working alone.
I'm programming and directing all the work (music composers, QA testers, ...) .
Most of the 3D models are bought from the Unity Asset Store.

 

Great job so far, differently reminds me of crash bandicoot.

 

i work by myself either (code and art). follow my progress ( http://forum.unity3d.com/threads/228429-Extreme-Aircraft-Combat-first-screenshot ).. lets join forces someday.

 

Thanks for the compliment.

 

Maybe you could find the shield later and repel bullets or use it for puzzles where you have to navigate a lightbeam into the right direction. I just don't know myself

 

That last one is actually a pretty good idea. I will keep that in mind!
