Vestige (itch) (Eshe)

Vestige is a work in progress game project.
It feature high speed pilotage, exploration, and free graphic expression in a vast open world.

The player controls an entity hovering above the ground, which can gather spherical followers in the environement, forming a "pack" behind it. Followers allow the player to reach higher speed, and to unlock special actions.
The player can chose between 3 stances for his pack, which control their shapes and overall abilities. 

• The "Standard/Basic" stance is focused around movement and manoeuvrability. 
• The "Rake" stance ups the collecting power of the avatar.
•  And the "Needle" Stance allows for maximum speed (using a short but powerful Boost) and dodging capacities.

Followers can also be used to leave a permanent trace of their trajectories on the ground, allowing the player to express himself, and to leave souvenirs on which he will stumble later on.

The game doesn't have any objectives for now, it is simply a proof of concept for our means of interaction and rulesets! (Note that there might be some bugs while playing, especially in the canyons environment, we are sorry for that)

From this base, we are working on building a complete gaming experience (and correcting the bugs ^^). Stay tuned.

____________________

To play the demo, simply download the zip and decompress it. Remember to turn on/plug in your gamepad before launching the .exe file.

Controls are on gamepad, but you'll need a mouse for the menus!

If you have performances issues, consider launching the game in a lower quality. Disable the water reflectivity and reduce the grass distance may also increase your performances.
