This page contains two short prototype games - Synchronecronomicous and Desynchrolife, both made in our custom engine Kintsugi.

Two Games

The following games were made to showcase the engine's features.

Synchronecronomicous

You are a powerful necromancer, scouring the dungeons for new minions to portal back to your domain of evil sorcery! However, turns out that when you command one of your minions, they all follow the same order...

This puzzle game revolves around carefully aligning multiple characters into specific spots.

How to Play

Each character you control have to stand on the blue portal tiles at the same time to proceed to the next level, though watch out for the spikes!

Controls. Move the camera with the arrow keys, zoom in and out with E and Q. Use WASD to move the characters around.

Desynchrolife

Oh no! A powerful necromancer has summoned a bunch of undead and swarmed the world. You are a band of three  adventurers aiming to stop him before its too late.

This dungeon crawler is centered around tactically engaging in combat challenges with your three heroes!

How to Play

Find all the keys to unlock the final boss room. In combat, each character has two actions. Your heroes come with unique traits and abilities, such as the Knight whom can shove enemies and the Thief whom has three actions rather than two.

Controls. Move the camera with the arrow keys, zoom in and out with E and Q. Left click to interact with the UI.

What is Kintsugi?

As part of our Game Engine Architecture course we were handed a barebones game engine with the purpose of shaping it into a specific focus. We decided to build it into an engine capable of grid-based tactical games, featuring advanced turn-based modes, FMOD integration, and tilemaps! Though its not limited to making tactics-games, as seen with Synchronecronomicous belonging to the puzzle genre!
