About the Game

DIVE is a 3rd person shooter with light puzzles and platforming. You play as a recently activated candidate, exploring an artificial and abandoned world while trying to overcome its trials and enemies. Combat is heavily inspired by Nier and Megaman Legends.

Developer Notes

This has been fairly long solo project (stretching about 3x over the original 6 month estimate), but it ended up being so enjoyable to design, build, and playtest that I honestly had a difficult time stopping. For the project itself, my goal is to take a break from this and use the lessons-learned on bringing other projects to life.


If this project looks or feels like something you'd like to see receive more love and attention, then feel free to ping me on Twitter or some other venue.

Thank you for playing!
