HLD’s gameplay is good balance between being easy to pick up but hard to master. Along the way you, will need to battle all kinds of creatures and problem solve to pass through the dangerous landscape. The drifter, travels across the lands of Buried Time on a mission to find a cure for an insatiable disease that’s slowly killing him. The world around has seen large-scale destruction. You play as a drifter, who has access to long-forgotten and powerful technologies. It was designed to build awareness around different heart problems, which the creator Alex Preston has had since birth. The game was created to pay homage to the old school games such as The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past and Diablo.
Hyper Light Drifter (HLD) is a 2D action role-playing game. There’s never a dull conversation with him! Craig will be covering the design aspects of the game later. He also got to pick the brain of super smart people at NASA. He’s studied at the Universtiy of Houston, in SICSA: The Sasakawa International Centre for Space Architecture using his Fullbirght scholarship. It all made sense and deepened my appreciation of what it would be like to play it.Ĭraig is teaching architecture at The University of Western Australia and is working on his PhD in space architecture. Craig then shows some of the gameplay and explains it from a design and architectural point of view.
The pixel artwork, sounds and tragic themes blend together to make a compelling looking game. One such situation, below, is how I found Hyper Light Drifter:Ĭraig: Hey Adam, have you seen Hyper Light Drifter yet?Ĭraig: Yeah, it’s totally awesome! Check it out.Ĭraig pulls out his phone and shows me the intro to the game. It’s a really great experience and makes finding good games a lot easier. Every now and then, you get to meet individuals who light up because they want to talk about a game they’ve recently played, and also to see if they can find the next game they want to play. Another time my wife ducked into T2 (tea company) and I chatted to the sales consultant for 15 minutes about games and then got the elbow to hurry up. Let’s hope the guys supervisor didn’t listen to that call.
Then spent the next 25 minutes talking about games. It led to great service from a top bloke. Similarly, my last conversation with my insurance company’s representative led to a mutual interest in games. I respond with, “I just met him, his name’s Jack, he likes games”. My wife finds it amusing that I will occasionally disappear at a shopping centre, only to find me chatting to someone.
