So, why is the game retro? Because it’s a love letter from a bunch of Doom modders who decided to make their own game.
Honestly. Beyond Sunset is an amazing shooter game with fleshed-out narrative and RPG elements. We’re very proud of how it shapes up. But the first thing all the people notice is the graphics of a game. And ours is pixelated.
Of course, this is a result of us making the game in the original GZDoom engine. We started our dev journey as a group of modders with a huge portfolio of Doom mods. So when we started making our own game, we chose the engine we felt most comfortable with. Is it the best engine there is? Absolutely not. Was it the best decision at the time? Yup.
So that’s why Beyond Sunset looks the way it looks. We love it regardless!
Remember that Beyond Sunset is coming in Early Access on November 8, 2023!
