WarZoide

Description

WarZoide is a unique SHMUP experience born from the First Tiki Game Jam, themed "kipkip Talala Tululu of life" — and no, it's not a magical girl transformation. Developed in Unreal Engine 4 by Blackangel YPK (programming, game design, level design) and DavinciNoCode (3D modeling and animation), this fast-paced shooter reimagines life's first battle: the 42-kilometer journey we all once ran. In WarZoide, enemies represent anything the human body can deploy to destroy foreign invaders. Navigate with ZQSD, boost with Space, and survive the biological chaos. The team embraced procedural scrolling systems — a new challenge for the developer, usually focused on RPGs — while the 3D artist explored modeling, rigging, skinning, and animation using simple shapes ideal for beginners. Despite time management hurdles and the complexity of UV unwrapping and animation, the project stands as a testament to collaborative learning and creative vision. WarZoide proves that even the smallest ideas can evolve into.
