Arídea: The Forgotten Desert

Arídea: The Forgotten Desert is a light-hearted survival adventure game with a darker undertone, where you explores to gather resources while surviving the harsh desert by building bases and leveling up your abilities, with the end goal of opening the entrance to an ancient, lost civilization.

This game was made as the bachelor project of Mathias Kapelrud and Adrian Klausen at HINN University. The team consists of one artist and one programmer and the main goal has been to make the demo of a Survival Adventure game.

We have developed the game as if we were to expand upon it in the future. We have therefore approached this bachelor period as we would have approached the first development period of a bigger game, with the end goal of delivering a playable first area of the game. This has led us to build the project with modular components and generic code for easy access going forward. However, this projects ends with the demo of the game's first area, and there are no plans of continuing the development.
