Terminus is a greek-themed game for Windows and GNU/Linux.
It was a team work for the classes "Introduction to Game Development" and "Introduction to Game Design" of the Universidade de Brasilia, Brazil. It was made over the whole 1st semester of 2013.
Terminus was made completely from scratch (code, art and music) by a partnership of 5 months between people from the departments of Industrial Design, Computer Science and Music.
Terminus is a game of conquest, determination and hope.
Ancient Greece. You control Apterus, a horse whose dream is to become a Pegasus. To do so, it builds a pair of mechanical wings and aims to climb the mighty Mount Olympus - home of the Twelve Olympian gods.
It is believed that whoever survives through this journey may have his wishes come true. The path, however, is filled with monsters and guardians who will prevent anyone from climbing it at all costs.
Will Apterus ever become a Pegasus? Can you cross a path blocked by the gods?
