'Dawn of the Devs' Announced, Seeks Crowd Funding - Screens & Trailer

Dawn of the Devs is a 2D puzzle platformer where three game industry gurus (Tom Schiffer, Biff Klozinski and Hiro Komiya) embark on an epic quest after they are drawn into the Wicked World of Gaming.

In Dawn of the Devs you'll have to combine your characters' unique abilities to rid this land from the sinister menace that threatens to destroy the gaming industry forever.  

In Dawn of the Devs, the player will take control of three emblematic game developers. After arriving to the Wicked World of Gaming, each character has gained incredible abilities, all of them related to the games they've created. Only by combining their skills, strenght and cleverness, our heroes will overcome all the challenges presented to them in the Wicked World of Gaming. They'll have to fight against hordes of enemies and make powerful allies to finally defeat the menace of the World of Gaming.

Underdog Studios has launched a kickstarter campaign, looking for $65,000, to finish development on Dawn Of The Devs. Stretch goals will add console versions, new characters (such as Milo Deveraux, Nick Gable, Shiro Miyata, etc.) as well as voice acting, alternate costumes and more.

During a popular game event in Los Angeles, three game developers are drawn into a parallel world known as the Wicked World of Gaming. A world that was once not wicked at all, but has become corrupt since the rise of one sinister character, known simply as Chief Evil Overlord (C.E.O.). His power grows with every downside, every drawback and every negative bit of the game industry, and he is rising an army to also end the Earth's game industry.

Only a bunch of heroes can stop the scheme of the Evil Overlord. They are legendary game gurus whose skills in game development have developed into unbelievable powers in the World of Gaming. They'll assume the task of defeating the hordes of evil, and restoring order and peace to the World of Gaming.

This world is divided in different lands - each one of them represent a specific area of the game development industry. Game conventions with mindless fanboys, infernal offices where game development is a torturing process and a dumpster where all game bugs and glitches are dumped are some of the locations where the game levels of Dawn of the Devs will take place.


Key Features:

  • Puzzle, action and stealth in a 2D old school platformer!
  • Team up and switch between characters, using their special abilities!
  • Journey through a wicked world of gaming!
