„Quest for Revenge“ is currently available for iOS, and soon Android. It offers classical roleplaying action without the nuisance of microtransactions.

„Quest for Revenge“ is the first collaborative project of Layered Mind. I worked together with an Artist from Berlin, who provided the graphics.

We two made up the whole team, but we used art assets, characters, animations, sounds and music from the asset store and similar source. My job was to program the gameplay and piece together the game from the assets we have. I also created the game design, i.e. the character and item system as well as the skill trees. Big parts of the story were also written by me.

The size of the project was a special challenge, since we did not have a big budget and therefore not much time. The resulting game has about 6-8 hours of gameplay, which is not too bad for 10 months of development. Another set of problems were the technical limits of the target platforms, i.e. mobile devices. We had to heavily optimize the assets and find the sweet spot betweem good looks and performance. We also had to abandon the iPhone 4 and 4S as a platform, mostly due to lack of RAM.

In conclusion we learned much from this project, most of it the hard way. It was way to bis in scope for our small team, but somehow we pulled it off and created a cool and fun to play action rpg with sweet graphics.
