Skylantis came out of a Game Design course and has been carried forward into an advanced class by five students: Michael Chugg, Cameron Hughes, Corey Pullman, Andrew Winkler, and Joe Albrethsen.

A quick overview of the game follows:

Title: Skylantis
Genre: Action / Adventure
Description: Gizmo is a robot explorer who travels through the skies of Skylantis, an industrialized world (once a thriving place, but now in ruins) made up of floating
islands. He must build his map, find equipment, and fight mechanized enemies to win the grand prize: a legendary golden cog.
Purpose: The game’s purpose, for the player, is to enjoy the experience of exploring Skylantis as the robot hero Gizmo.

Skylantis is full of thought provoking challenges, puzzles, and battles. Players will also be rewarded as they uncover secrets and find power ups.

As students our purpose for making Skylantis is to fulfill school assignments - but more importantly, to build portfolios and actually release a playable game.

Platform: Windows and Mac
Intended Audience: Ages 5 - 17
Rating: E
