the adventures of a platypus, inspired by the classics

A peaceful community of animals are disrupted, after a meteorite containing a hostile alien force impacts nearby. Platy the Platypus and friends fight back against evil invaders with blue eyes, and go on an quest to save the country!

Adventure from the forest to the sea, then all the way out to the outback and beyond in this action packed campaign, inspired by classic adventure games like Banjo-Kazooie, Croc: Legend of the Gobbos and Crash Bandicoot! 

Platypus Adventures features exclusively Australian flora and fauna, because this is something I'm passionate about as the developer. I've always been inspired by artworks depicting the outback, and wanted to have a go at making something in this space. 

I'm particulary passionate about Platypus, this is an animal I've always been fascinated by and love to witness in the wild. I love how the Platypus lives in 2 worlds, under the water and above and thought that would make for an interesting game!

This game is a solo effort by David Richards, using Unreal Engine 5 (originally launched using Unreal Engine 4 in 2022). I've learned alot through the process, and hope to share my passion with the world with my debut game.

All of the assets are original creations for this project, that I've personally crafted exclusively for Platypus Adventures. I use Blender to create the models and textures, Audacity for sound, Reaper for music and Unreal Engine 5's blueprint system to create the game. 

Some friends and family helped me with the voices of the game, and testing. It's been a massive process to create even this humble little campaign, but very satisfying to complete. 

I'm greatful for all the support and feedback on the game, and I hope players have enjoyed what I have to offer with Platypus Adventures!

Cheers,

David
