Hello everyone, I am one of the developers for Beyond the Clouds. My name is Andrew Dean, and I have been creating 3D assets for our game. Today I wanted to talk to you about what Beyond the Clouds is and take a deeper look at the story, gameplay, and art for our game. I hope you will enjoy what we have in store for you.
Story
Our game in simple terms is about helping souls reach the afterlife. You play as the Guardian, an angelic like being imbued with holy power and charged with guiding recently deceased souls to reach the afterlife. When the player enters the world, they will begin inside a waiting room behind a desk with a brand-new soul waiting for you to help them.
Gameplay
How will you protect the Old Soul? With your awesome angelic shield and holy powers, of course!
The Shield is able to force enemies away and block all attacks thrown at the Old Soul.
Holy Bolt, an angelic bolt capable of taking out any enemy!
ULTIMATE ABILITY!!! Charging up the Guardian by blocking enemy attacks will fill up the ULTIMATE ABILITY meter, once it's full the Guardian can send out a bolt of energy so powerful it will destroy all the enemies nearby!
Angelic Strength! Lift any fallen debris with ease! Along the staircase, some pillars have gone a few centuries without any maintenance, so you may have to do a bit of tidying up.
Oh, and you can fly!!
Just one of many gravestones that I made for our project. I wanted to share this one though because I added it in as a little Easter egg and nod to my late grandfather.
Okay, okay, we don't want to spoil everything just yet. But you will hear from me again not too long from now. I hope you look forward to playing our game when it releases on July 23rd! We will see you later, Beyond the Clouds!
