Hi! I‘m Corpah. I‘m learning C# right now and I have a great idea for a game.

Varium (Still „Alpha“ version name, may change) is a 2D pixel art sidescrolling platformer shooter, with the concept of Hollow Knight. An „Open World“ of sorts (like Hollow knight) based in a desert landscape on earth (though there are caves, lush zones and fortresses that are not deserted). Basically aliens turned the huge area into a hot desert to colonize it for themselves. You are dropped in a drop pod by the aliens as a scout drone (humanoid robot, not flying thing.) to scout out and exterminate competing lifeforms. You suddenly get corrupted and turn against your own. You destroy your „partner“ scout drone and your weapon breaks. You take his parts, build a makeshift rifle and venture out into the world of Varium.

This is just a concept, it might take 2-3-4 years to learn C# and actially create Varium. Expect changes—and Devlogs. I will be posting new pixel art, concepts and sketches, maybe. It will all be irregular and very unorganized.

Fun fact: The name „Varium“ means „the shifting“ in Latin, because i thought names like „the shifter“, „shift“ or „shifting world“ were too generic and boring names.
