This game is made with the intention of to alive the plat former games. plat former is a sub-genre of action video games in which the core objective is to move the player character between points in an environment.
The game takes place in a fantasy kingdom of monsters. The main focus is to engage players and challenge their exploration skills, how long they take to find the sword and in how much time they complete the whole journey of the kingdom.
The difference between this and other games is the mechanics and environment, this game is the fantasy based kingdom journey with full of new experiences.

The Dread Kingdom is basically a plat former game. These days our gaming industry is more into 3D games with different genres other than plat former. I played so many plat former games in my childhood and I have so many good memories because of them. Basically its a style of video game where the player makes a character move through an environment with a series of action based moves.
Currently for this project there is one level of the game that is completely developed. I am working on more levels as well. I planned 2 different environments for it yet and I am working on them.
