Key of Ethios is a little rather sizable game project I'm working on using Unity. The gameplay is kinda Metroidvania/Sidescroller/RPG. Currently, it's just me and my musician, so I'm lacking a programmer.

The story involves Ellie, Van, and Gil; Three adventurers that live in the land of Zenoa. It begins as they are hired by a man named Zane. Their job: To retrieve a 'Treasure' from an ancient ruin within the Wysteria Woods. The plot thickens as they find this 'Treasure': A little girl in a deep sleep. Afterwards, they are entangled in the plans of The Court: a mysterious organization that needs the girl, and will go to (almost) any length to get her.

The world that the game takes place in is called Zenoa. So far, there are four countries:
Albion - Your run-of-the-mill medieval fantasy place.
Galcia - All I have for this place so far is that the Galcians have some animal features.
Fujitake - On a separate continent over to the east. Your run-of-the-mill feudal Japan rip-off
Wysteria Woods - Not really a 'country' per se. It's an immense mystical forest ruled by a being known as the Wysteria King.

Main characters:

And one enemy thus far:

These are concepts of three of the villains

Looks good, though if they're 3D models, they seem to be a bit jagged, but overall, it looks really nice.

Thanks, guys.

For the modeling, rigging, and animating, I use Truespace. You can get the latest version for free over here:

Unfortunately, it's also the LAST version, 'cause they were bought out by Microsoft, who immediately cut funding. Jerks.

For the UV mapping I use RoadKill, located here:

Oi, thanks for the kind words, guys.

Haven't really worked on this that much. Just some GUI mockups:

This is exceptional! It looks extremely profesional and well done!
It's a real shame for a lack of a programmer, though.
