Last December i graduated from univercity and then immediately joined the army to get rid of that burden.. A week ago i finished my service and started making plans for the future. I studied programming and was hoping to apply and get accepted to a Masters program called
"Master of Informatics : Game Engineering" in TUM (Germany). My grades though are not that high and i wanted to have more to show than just a degree.. also a Year away (while in the army) from programming i kinda lost touch so i thought i would make a Second game to improve my skills and have more experience in case i wanted to apply for an internship in the time between now and September. The first game i made was for me Degree thesis but even thought it worked, i had to do so much alone that it was impossible to make an actual enjoyable game. Problem was the main goal was not make a good game but mainly learn how to operate the Unreal Engine and other programs like 3dsMax etc. Anyway you see it making a project on my own will work for the best !! :D
Eventually i would like to become a game designer.. I read in a book about game design this
"Your first 10 games will suck, so get them out of the way quickly" So here we go !
But i would like to show you what i have right now.. and get feedback from you guys!
I will post as much as i can, so that i get motivated by you and maybe come up with some cool and interesting ideas
So the game is a platformer and is called " The Rage Within ". The story is pretty usual i think but has a nice 'not that often seen' twist. It is about a teenager called Behel who lives in a small town called Filth with his sister Serena. The town is a lost cause because of crime and poverty till 4 men arrive and clear the streets saying they are sent from their beloved king and only demand Blind Obedience.. the life quality slowly improves , so everyone is happy. That is till Serena is invited to the 4's house and returns in tears.. the second time she went her brother just in time prevent her from killing herself. He retaliates and is thrown in Exile. Some years later he grows big and strong and seeks revenge and his sister's safety.
Story of the Game :

The Rage Within
TRW is a gore/fast pace action game which will be played on a pc or android smartphone.
The story begins in a town witch has a name that has been long forgotten. The town is known to its people as “Filth”. Crime is in every corner, sickness and poverty is all you see in its streets… the town breathes tragedy.
But somewhere in this town our main hero Behel lives with his sister Sirina in a small house. Their parents have been long dead and Behel tries to keep them fed by working in a small field they have just outside the city’s walls. Our main hero sacrifices every joy in life so that his sister can taste as little as possible of the hardships they have to endure by living in this place every single day. He thinks she is too pure for this city , the last shining diamond.. the last good thing this place has to show.
Behel is a young man, strong and just. He honors himself by not participating in activities that require violence in order to make his life easier , but he also will not think twice before driving a man’s head in the dirt if his or his sister’s safety is in danger.
Days, months and years went by with no change, until one day 4 men in shiny armor and big weapons appeared in the central square. They declared they were here to help, they would take control of the city and brighter days would come ahead. Everyone cheered, they did not care if they had authority or if they were right or wrong in their doings. The people of Filth were desperate and this was their only ray of sunshine in years. And indeed the town got clean, crime dropped. Blind obedience was the only thing the 4 saviors requested in order to keep the town in peace.
Knock Knock.
Behel opens the door and a man in good clothes appears. He wants to see Sirina. She washes her hands and presents herself, she wanted to look good for a man sent by the 4. He explains to her that the 4 want to see her and that he would come by tomorrow noon to pick her up.
Young Sirina was ecstatic! “I will do my best, brother “, “This will be our big break , I guarantee it ! “ is all she shouted ! She bathed and wore the most beautiful dress her mother had left her. As he had promised the same man appeared in different but equally impressive clothing and took her by the hand. Behel did not sleep, but patiently waited. It was very late at night when he heard another knock on the door.
Sirina entered, greeted him and immediately ran to her bed. Her eyes were red from tears. As much as he tried, behel could not get a word out of her.
A few weeks later the same man appeared, but this time Behel did not let him in. A few hours again he came again with soldiers by his side. They took Sirina by force and gave Behel a good beating before he passed out. Many hours later when he opened his eyes again Sirina was there beside him. She did not talk but she didn’t cry either. “I will go for a walk she finally said “. Behel was too anxious to stay home so a few moments later he started looking for her.
He finally found her..She was standing on the edge of a cliff at the outskirts of town. He ran as fast as he could and begged her to stand back. She looked at him and whispered “Thank you” then turned around.
Behel managed to grab her by the waist at the very last moment.
The anger he felt was undescribable. Blinded by hate and with no logic left inside his mind he ran towards the big mansion. As he reached its gate he was thrown down by a much bigger man and was dragged at a cell. He was sentenced to exile with no trial and was told that the only reason he was still alive is because his sister begged & begged…
This is the backstory of our hero.
The game begins 5 years later when he is finally strong enough to seek revenge. He will battle his way back to his home city to get his sister back and pass his judgement on the 4,or die trying.
TRW will have 4 levels . Each with a completely different scenery than the other. He will defeat enemies sent to him by the 4 and at the end of each level defeat one of them till he reached the final one who also holds his sister.

The game is has a very dark artstyle (if you can call that art.. i mean i do my best.. i am a beginner at everything) and will have a very quick and bloody battle style with lots of flashy animations.
The best way i could describe it is a dark Black/White/Grey game with lots of Anime battle style animations with flashing colors and lots of blood.
The last week i made the Basic coding. that includes how the player will move..physics..basic enemy ai , collectable items, health bla bla bla. It is time for me to jump back to the more creative part which means create the first level and different types of enemies !
Can't say much because there is not much ! But i will try to update the blog later with some of my players animations
Tell me if you like the first impression !
Here is a picture of the very beginning !!!!
