Eugenius

About the Game

You are Eugenius, horse of the great strategist Prince Eugen. You are the difference between victory and defeat because Prince Eugen often oversees the smaller dangers of the battlefield. This is the reason why you need to dodge them.

Besides dodging you also need to conquer ground, this is still a war. Prince Eugen points in the direction of the next capture point. Once you captured all points there is one last thing to do: Defeat the enemies general.

This is a job only meant for the greatest and therefore you need to do this on your own. Sprint towards the enemy and win the battle.

About the team

The game was made by Benjamin Jurina, Christoph Fagerer and Benjamin Schäfer. The three met at HTL Spengergasse, but this is the first time they worked on a project together.

Eugenius was created at Culture Game Jam 2024 in 48 hours and was awarded with the price for the best student project.

Changes made after the Game Jam ended

• Added rock geometry to the level end so it looks nicer. (This change was already in the final version but was destroyed due to a Git merge conflict.)
• Fixed a bug where the gallop sound was playing at the start of the game, even though the player wasn't moving.
• Fixed a bug where the player was blocked from entering the level's end, shortly after collecting all banners.
