Tuuletar Studios announces the release of both video games The Mystery of Uku and Solence

https://tuuletarstudios.itch.io/

Joensuu— 16.12.2022 — Today Tuuletar Studios has announced the release of both The Mystery of Uku and Solence on the itch.io website. The most recent versions of both game demos are now available for download on the website.

A group of media students have put all of their competence to the test. Within eight weeks, the results were two video games, and they are both playable now. Our video games are unique with engaging stories and gameplay features. Both TMOU and Solence are 2D platformers, one is fantasy themed and the other utopia themed.

Jump into the two different worlds and enjoy both of them!

About us:

We’re a group of media students from the Degree Programme of Media in Karelia University of Applied Sciences, Finland. We are working on two games, The Mystery of Uku and Solence.

These games are a part of our 10 cr Game Production course. The students have no prior experience in video game production.

The Mystery of Uku:

You play as Kanel who is on an aimless journey when he suddenly passes through a miserable village. They are tasked with saving the village from the evil Zozozo who has stolen the Uku, a mysterious stick that is the life force of the village.

Go through the forest solving puzzles in the process. Find a way to open the gate which leads to Zozozo’s splendid castle. Be quick before the village and its people fall into disrepair forever.

TMOU’s message is clear - be unselfish and kind to other people. By doing good things you’ll be rewarded at the end.

Solence:

In this 2D Sci-Fi-Fantasy platformer, Wisp, the solar wind, sets out to defy Solence, the evil god-like artificial sun that has taken over Solar City. Wisp encounters obstacles and riddles on the way and learns more about their own powers and befriends a bird named G1-RB1.

The main goal of the game is to find a balance between nature and technology, which becomes the slogan of the game: Two sides create balance

This visually rich game combines metroidvania and solarpunk stylistically.

As a team, we wanted to take a stand on environmental issues. Nature is close to our hearts, and we wanted to highlight the problems that corrupt it in today's world.

The content of the game is centered around nature and technology, and all the characters are connected to them and gain strength from their elements.

This philosophy provides the basis for the game's plot and main theme, as well as the message we want to convey in the game.

We would appreciate any kind of feedback on the game demos!

Time has flown fast and we have the last tasks in progress. Some of us have transformed into other duties, such as helping graphic design with outro.

Aika on lentänyt nopeasti ja meillä on viimeiset taskin työn alla. Jotkut meistä ovat siirtyneet muihin työtehtäviin, kuten auttamaan graafista suunnittelua outron kanssa.

The Mystery of Uku’s marketing team has made multiple posters for the game and we finally got them framed on our campus’ walls. First one features Kanel and some of the villagers. Second one features our main villain Zozozo stealing the Uku.

We are the invisible pillar of the game project that holds everything together. In this role, you get to use a lot of creativity to come up with production ideas. Sometimes it may feel like we're just breathing down other people's necks, but that's just caring with all the love. Without our work, the game and its body would not exist.

"There are no stupid ideas, it's stupid to ignore them. Imagination has no limits!"

Olemme peliprojektin näkymätön tukipilari, joka pitää paketin kasassa. Tässä roolissa saa käyttää paljon luovuutta tuotannon ideoimiseen. Välillä saattaa tuntua, että hengittelemme vain toisten niskaan, m***a se on vain välittämistä kaikella rakkaudella. Ilman meidän työpanostamme peliä eikä sen runkoa olisi.

"Tyhmiä ideoita ei ole, tyhmää on jättää ne huomiotta. Mielikuvituksella ei ole rajoja!"

Sound design has been interesting and fun. Here we have had to use creativity and invent new things. A lot of time has been spent searching for and producing the best sounds. In the future, you will hear mystical and calm sound worlds.

"Many people may underestimate the importance of sound worlds in games, but we're still not completely useless guys."

Äänisuunnittelu on ollut mielenkiintoista ja hauskaa. Tässä olemme joutuneet käyttämään luovuutta ja keksimään uusia asioita. Paljon aikaa on kulunut parhaimpien äänien etsimiseen ja tuottamiseen. Tulette tulevaisuudessa kuulemaan mystisiä ja tyyniä äänimaailmoja.

"Monet saattavat aliarvioida äänimaailmojen merkityksen peleissä, mut ei me silti ihan turhia jätkiä olla."

Our real work starts now. The previous weeks have been spent researching and planning. Now that the material starts coming in, the game can start to be put together.

"Cool your jets, mistakes will happen!"

- Solence team programming

Meidän varsinainen työ alkaa vasta nyt. Aikaisemmat viikot ovat menneet tutkiessa ja suunnitellessa. Nyt kun materiaalia alkaa tulemaan, sitä mukaa peliä voidaan alkaa koostamaan.

"Jäitä hattuun, virheitä tulee vastaan!"

During this project, we have learned to react to changing situations and schedule work. In this position, you have to grasp the overall picture and hold all the strings in your hands. It has been great to see the progress of other peoples´s work step by step. As a working couple, our cooperation is smooth and consistent, which has made our work even more comfortable.

- Solence team project management

Tämän projektin aikana olemme oppineet reagoimaan muuttuviin tilanteisiin ja aikatauluttamaan työskentelyä. Tässä asemassa on hahmotettava kokonaiskuvaa ja pidettävä kaikki langat käsissä. On ollut hienoa nähdä muiden töiden edistymistä vaihe vaiheelta. Työparina yhteistyömme on sulavaa ja johdonmukaista, joka on tehnyt työskentelystämme entistä mukavampaa.
