Inspired by a journey glitching past the world boundary of Red Dead Redemption 2, Ian MacLarty (the maker of Action Painting Pro and Catacombs Of Solaris) has created his personal bizarre desert journey to share with us all. Red Desert Render is a rolling panorama to discover with just a few duties to realize and glitches to search out. It’s nice sufficient as a strolling simulator, and I assumed it was at first, nevertheless it seems unlikely-sounding goals like altering outfit are actual. Red Desert Render additionally has an concept each first-person game ought to copy proper now: the power to twist up right into a ball at any time to only roll downhill.
“This game is my response to the out-of-bounds adventures I had with some friends in Red Dead Redemption 2 Online (with some other ideas thrown in),” MacLarty says. Kotaku gathered tweets about that journey previous the sting of the world, in the event you’re curious.
I’ve loved this stroll. An odd panorama, totally different biomes, animal noises, and unusual surprises. That’ll do for me. At one level, I broke the game and will swim via the air at breakneck speeds, bouncing over the bounds of the panorama. Perhaps this was intentional. What could possibly be extra becoming than breaking a game impressed by breaking a game?
I’m reminded of MacLarty’s personal Doomdream, a 2015 game he described as “an impression of my dreams after I’ve been playing Doom all day.” It nonetheless feels Doom-y, even with no weapons or enemies. Red Desert is a bit Red Dead in an analogous method.
You can obtain Red Desert Render from Itch. It’s pay-what-you-want with no minimal, and in the event you pay over $20 MacLarty will generate a brand new world for you.
