A new retro 3D platformer

Chaos the Devil is a 3D platformer currently in development which aims to capture PS1 golden day aesthetics and mechanics. Heavily inspired by titles such as Crash Bandicoot and Spyro the Dragon, Chaos the Devil embraces old gaming paradigms, graphics techniques, and limitations of the 90s to offer a whole new adventure!

The golden age

Fully embraces old mechanics.


Rejects modern takes, just old fashioned fun.


Tough levels, varied vibrant environments and wacky characters.


Ps1 style Graphics

A bespoke graphics pipeline was created to emulate the style of PS1 platfomer classics.


The rendering style is based on modern concepts and focusses on achieving retro PS1 feel, render artifacts and all.

Engine

Chaos The Devil is being developed on my own Engine.


Using Hawk Engine rather than the usual commercial engines helps guide development to a simpler feel by restricting functionality.


The engine is written in C++ with a graphics implementation in OpenGL.
