About the Game

In Daybreak, we plan to take the timeless brick-breaking action and enhance it with:

- Engaging Stories: Dive into compelling narratives that add depth to the classic gameplay.

- Unique Artistic Styles: Enjoy stunning visuals that bring a fresh and modern look to the retro feel.

- Diverse Gameplay: Encounter a variety of power-ups and challenges that keep the gameplay exciting and multifaceted.

Why This Project?

Many Arkanoid clones fail to captivate modern gamers due to their simplistic gameplay and lack of features. We aim to solve this by integrating features that enhance the core gameplay loop, making it more engaging for casual and retro gamers alike.

Our Journey

We are a team of passionate game development students who have received positive feedback and valuable insights from showcasing our game at the ICT showroom and PreBit, a local segment of the Bit1 game competition. These experiences have shaped our development process, driving us to create a game that meets the expectations of today’s gamers.

What’s Next?

We are actively working on:

- Integrating New Features: Based on community feedback, we are continuously developing and refining gameplay elements.

- Enhancing Story and Art: Adding more depth to the narrative and improving the visual style.

- Market Readiness: Preparing for a successful launch with a solid marketing strategy.

Join Us

We are looking for:

- Feedback and Playtesting: Your input is invaluable in helping us perfect the game.

- Mentorship and Expertise: If you have experience in game development, marketing, or public speaking, we would love to connect.

-  Community and Support: Join our community on our Discord server to stay updated and be part of our journey.
