LENS | Demo & Steam Greenlight [WIP]


Hello there, fellow Unity Developers!
Lens is a dark atmospheric platformer, where you have four different powers by using different Lenses. Each power comes with a rule. Will you be able to use your Lenses?

The story takes place in an mystic, dark atmospheric world, with a variety of different environments! After going out of Ira, the village Neil and his fellow group members lives in, in order to find food, the group gets attacked by a group of wolves. Managing to escape the attack with a few injuries, Neil carries his extremely wounded brother to a cave in order to find time to go back to Ira and call for help. Unfortunately, the wounds of Neil’s brother gets worse until it takes his life. Neil promises to his dying brother to find the other group members and get back to the village.

Don’t forget that advertising my game would be alot appreciated and would help me achieve my goals for the sales of this game :slight_smile:

I enjoyed limbo. Looks very much a clone at this stage.

might wanna figure out a way to make his eyes not sunshaft

The gameplay is completely different, just like The Swapper. It’s really similar to Limbo visually as well, but the gameplay is completely different. The environment of Lens is different as well if you pay attention to the background. :slight_smile:
Yes, I’m going to try and fix that. Thank you for mentioning!

Edit: do you have any suggestions of how I can make it look more ‘non-alike’ Limbo? I mean, visually the game may be looking like Limbo but environmental and gameplay mechanical it’s utterly different. But please let me know anything you have in mind!:slight_smile:

Looks great, the hook mechanism is nicely done.

Thank you very much for your kind words! I really appreciate :slight_smile:
Oh yeah, I did work alot on that one. Thanks, glad to know that people likes it as well!

Some improvement has been made to:
• Water
• Light shafts
• Bloom
…and the physics of the game has been slightly more dynamic :slight_smile:

Thanks for all the comments, hope you guys keep spreading this thread! :slight_smile:

More improvements and trailer coming soon!
Please let me know if you’ve got any suggestion or feedback :slight_smile:

Due to school beginning again aside of my trainings, the development is taking a bit more time. But the game is going full speed and it’s going very well right now :slight_smile:

Trailer for the game is coming soon, first I will work on the level design a bit more to show the key features and context about the game. :slight_smile:

I do not know if I should upload it to Steam Greenlight! :o

New website is coming soon as well!

Tons of update to the map! :slight_smile: More screenshots are coming later on!

Im not sure you could make it look less limbo’y tbh… I would say change the eye color, but that probably wont suit the aesthetic of the game. I would just carry on as is. If the gameplay is different youre probably all good. It will be compared to limbo of course

Thank you alot for your kind response and feedback :slight_smile: I appreciate!
I’ll try and apply some changes visually. But the gameplay is very different, I can assure you! Thanks once more, and I hope it gets compared and recognized by Limbo community because it’s the game that inspires Lens :slight_smile:

Slight changes has been made to the visuals :slight_smile:

Soon the trailer is ready!

Was forced to restore my PC to factory settings - luckily I had a backup file of my game files… Phew…

Looking good, keep it up :slight_smile:
