Hello, indieDB Community, we have titanic news!
This is our 1st article about our in-development game called Titan Ascension.
From a small idea, a (still) small game project emerged which is becoming more and more real. We are looking forward to turning this game into a highly appreciated experience for fans of indie-puzzle games.
We are proud of what we achieved but we need more. And for that, there’s still a lot of work that needs to be done. For now, we are excited to show you some of the narrative behind the origin of our game.
Take this journey with us!
Let 's begin with…
The first encounter of Sophia
"Titan Ascension" immerses players in the journey of Sophia, a grieving child in a decaying world. Sophia discovers a forgotten warehouse with the remnants of a mighty robot and, intrigued, embarks on a mission to restore it.
Through puzzles and a bit of exploration, Sophia reactivates the robot, gaining its assistance and unlocking new ways to reach higher grounds. Together, they work to reconstruct his body.
The endless rails of a Warehouse
"Titan Ascension" blends exploration, puzzle-solving, and narrative depth, exploring themes of discovery, resilience, and hope in a collapsing world.
As players explore the ruins of the warehouse, they'll encounter intricate puzzles that interact with the environment. To progress, players must find the solution to open the door to the new room, deciphering the right moves required to activate each pressure plate and unlock the robot's secrets. With each puzzle solved, the titan reveals more about its enigmatic past, offering a captivating journey of discovery and intrigue.
The game mechanics: Putting Together the First Pieces
Our initial approach to the design concept of our game was to use the robot to help us get further and reach new grounds. Inspired by co-op games, it was initially supposed to be a duo game. However, we changed the mechanics so that the robot helps our character only occasionally, rather than offering two distinct experiences, by completing challenges throughout the world. We aimed to make our game as immersive as possible through this and many other design approaches.
With the help of our Developer, we made a prototype of some of the mechanics that will be implemented later:
These mechanics can suffer some alteration.
Hope you find this game interesting and keep with us on our new journey.
