Overview

Arcanyst: Secrets of Shaz is my own action-adventure project, developed over the last few years in Unreal Engine 5. It is set in the Arcanyst universe shared by the Caesium Games titles and mixes exploration, puzzles and combat in stylised 3D worlds.

The game draws its inspiration from The Witness, The Talos Principle and The Legend of Zelda: environmental puzzles, readable worlds and a sense of discovery rather than hand-holding.

Features

  • Unreal Engine 5 with Blueprint and C++ gameplay systems
  • Stylised environments, lighting and world building
  • Exploration, puzzle and combat loops designed from scratch
  • Development videos published as the project progresses
