Beyond Horizon is a 2D side-scroller game focusing on story and exploration both on land and within the stars. Explore dungeons, towns or fight space pirates with your ship, while uncovering the lore and the secrets behind the Sigma and the original race, all of this is just Beyond the horizon.

What is the game about: 

Beyond Horizon follow Aito after his grandfather suddenly has to leave, 3 years later with no return he tries to save up everything he has in-order to afford a spaceship to go after him. 

While on a routine mission to find a missing cargo supply he comes across a stone that once touched absorbs into Aito giving him powers along with a map to 8 location. Unknowingly awakening an evil force to his location.

Now to save his town the only option is to flee, they attempt to lure the Sigma away with his friends in a stolen spaceship, now the only option is to run. Following the map to each location in the hopes to stop this Sigma killing the system. 

About the Project:

Beyond Horizon is a small project I've been working on for a couple of years now, starting off as a 2d pixel art game before moving into this mixture of vector and semi-realistic textures that I started to play around with while working on an illustrated calendar.

I'm currently working on this project solo so production on the game has been slow (along with changing a lot of things required to re-start from the ground up) and I felt like I should start sharing the project.
 
WIP:
 
Below are some screenshots and videos from my work in progress of the game.

UPDATE 3:

Another update for Beyond Horizon is here!!! Last time I showed off the outside of the ship the player will use to get from location to location within the game.

Now its time to show off the inside of the ship. The image is a bit hard in the screenshot below (it game it will be a little brighter but the point of it was meant to fill old and dark) What do you think of the ship inside?

Next, I would like to show an update on the starting world and some changes made to the background and lighting.

I've also started working on the next area within the game, a desert style planet, this will introduce the player to some key components within the game. Below you can see some planet type objects.

Along with this a small video showing off an early WIP of the level.

What do you think about the new level design/style along with the side of the ship?

Thank you for your time and I hope you have a great day.

Also just for fun here is a before and after shot of the outside of the ship design from the last update.

UPDATE 4:
 
Back again with another update! This time I will be showing off the cave within the desert level. The cave is the first "dungeon" in the game. This area is still in early stage so feedback of how it looks would be great! I plan to add some glowing plants to the area to try and bring some more life to the area and some basic enemies will soon be in the level. 
 
 
On top of this zone, I've also been working on one of the space stations in the game, this station is overrun by outlaws and people trading items on the black market.

There has also been a lot of back-end work on the game setting it up with Bitbucket + SourceTree to allow other people within our growing teamwork on the project.
 
After the space station is done I will be starting work on a new level!!! So hopefully in the next update, I will be able to show off the finished space station + update to the cave and some very early screenshots of the new area.
 
Also if you think you might be able to help out with the project please email me at hello@andrewsalfinger.com where currently looking for a character artist.
 
Thank you for your time and I hope you have a great day.

Hello everyone, I just wanted to give a quick update on how the game is going as we head closers to the demo lunch window for the game (Mid to early Q4 2018).  To start off the update lets head into a dungeon!!!
 
 
In the video, above you have two types of AI, ground, and flying based, there both in early development (and will have different styles of attacks that can be triggered) but it allows us to see how combat works and changes we need to make to the design. What do you all think?
 
Below you can find break down of each section of the development 
 
Programming:
Mr. Brick has been doing an amazing job with the monster AI for the dungeon section of the demo, at the moment he is working on 2 out of the 3 AI that can be found lurking within the dungeon (one ground and one flying AI) After the 3 monsters are completed he will start work on the Boss for the level!!!
 
Along with this were also started working on the dialogue and cutscene system that will be within the game to this is still only at the testing point but soon will be implemented within the game.
 
Sound:
With almost all the character sound effect and inside house sound design completed Jason has been doing a great job design amazing sound effects for the game with him currently working on the first world (outside area sound effects currently) Soon we will start to share some of the sound effects on Patreon so get ready!!!
 
Music:
For music, Krystian has done an amazing job bringing the game to life with the soundtrack!!! You may have heard some of the music already in the gameplay and trailer videos along with starting this week if you support the project on Patreon for $1 or more you can get access to work in progress of new music for the game, the fist track you can hear at: http://bit.ly/2M5L1FN 
 
Character Design:
With only 6 characters left to be designed (within the demo version of the game), character design development is going really well and we will be able to share more designs soon so keep an eye out!!
 
Level Design:
Where up to the last world (fishing town) for the demo currently in work is a completion date within the next 3 weeks we should have all level design assets completed for the demo allowing a larger focus being shifted to the core game design and getting everything really for Q4, 2018 demo.
 
To fishing off this update below you can see some of the animation used for the enemy AI's including some that were not shown off :O
 
Runner:

Player / Combat Update:

 

 
In the last “Under the Horizon” Dev update we showed of the combat system within the game and from our community’s amazing feedback its help shapes the system a lot. So what's new?
  • Made enemy AI attacks slower to allow the player to dodge attacks better.
  • Change the rate the enemy AI fire rate
  • Made the enemy AI player detection better (since if you jumped or a raycast would not hit the player the AI could not see you making it hard for them to hit you)
  • Added the 3rd AI to the dungeon (screamer)
  • Allowed the player to shoot when walking backward
  • Chest is added + loot
  • Inventory/pickup system
  • Some small tweaks

Art:
With the last level currently in the works once this is complete (around a week or so) all art assets (level design, characters, and other items) all be complete.
 
Animation:
Character, AI, monsters, and object animation are currently about 50% complete (with the new level it had added some more animation’s to the task but looking to be on track)
 
Music:
Music is coming along well with about 5 tracks left to record (out of 18) and as you herd above and in the past its sounding amazing!!! We will also be releasing the demo soundtrack online with royalty free license attacked to allow other game devs, animation, and other formats to use the tracks in their own product.
 
Sound Design:
Sound design has been delayed by 3 weeks tho where still on track for the game and over the next couple of updates you will be able to see even more folio effects both within the updates and in game.
 
Programming:
As you saw in the new gameplay video a-lot of tweaking has been made to the player and combat system along with some new featured added to the game plus a new enemy AI type added and now Mr. Brick is currently working on secondary attacks for the AI along with polishing them up and then moving onto the Boss fight within the game.

With the demo coming out this Friday on December 14th, making this the last dev update before you all get to play our first demo for Beyond Horizon! 
 
[IMG] 
 
We still have a lot to show off (Tho will still be keeping some stuff secrete so you can experience it for yourself on the 14th) Where tracking along well to hit the target date, tho we have needed to remove some stuff that would have been within this first demo, this includes the space station, fish town, and dream world. These levels will not be making it into the first demo of the game this was to allow us to spend more time on the cave/dungeon level to make this play well for you all! But don’t worry these levels will be within the second demo coming out next year so keep a look out for that!
 
To start things off let's check out some new music for the game:
 
SpaceStation (update): http://bit.ly/2SB4zk3
 
Fishing Town: http://bit.ly/2EcXZvZ
 
Within a game, you’re going to need a Dialogue system to help tell the story right? And now we are finally ready to show it off, at the moment it is kinda basic, you can trigger dialogue between characters in the world and trigger animation but that’s about it, we will be looking into making this better with event triggers, actions, and more to come to within the first demo its a tests to see how the basic version works. So let’s see how it works.
 
Just chatting: 
Here is an example of Aito walking up to his grandfather and talking with him, this dialogue both triggers text and animation.

Also, NPC’s for example with the starting town though out the game will change what they say each time you go back to them.
 
Here is another example of the dialogue, where this event is triggered by the player with again text and animation.

It’s time for loot:
 
[IMG] 
 
Before when opening a chest it would show a look animation above, now Its been changed thanks to feedback to better help tell the player what they got and that's with an image a show showcasing the main item they got out of the chest.
 
Checkpoints
 
[IMG] 
 
Where also added checkpoints to the game along with animation to tell the player the checkpoint has been activated + some text to tell the player what it is that just happened.
 
The boss:
 
[IMG] 
 
With any dungeon, you typically have a boss at the end of it for the player to defeat, and with our first dungeon, our final boss is a gorilla!!! This gorilla builds on the movement for the base creates within the dungeon with things such as how to use the dash with creatures. We won’t show too much off with this so you can experience it for your self.
 
[IMG] 
 
Oh, we have also added jump poof effect to the player!
 
[IMG] 
And that's it for this update, it was a short one tho we did not want to show off everything you can experience within the demo. We hope you enjoy our first demo of the game coming out December 14th and don’t forget to tell us what you think via twitter email. 
 
Where can you download the demo from? Well here is a couple of links:
