The use of Unreal Engine 4 for Robot Champions is no surprise. But this also makes the use of Proton possible. At least until the native Linux release is available. You can play the pre-alpha demo on Steam right now. Likewise, the game runs great for an Alpha build.

Genre of game

Side-scroller

For the foundations of my game, I have chosen to utilise the side-scroller template which comes pre-included inside Ue4. Having used this template beforehand to create games a of a similar format, I feel it’s my safest bet to tweak around inside the template further in order to achieve something greater.

This meaning I am not going to the traditional route of a platformer regardless, but to use the side view as a means of getting the results I want for a game. Other than using the side camera that comes included, everything else I create Is going to be exclusively made by me. 

Beatemup 

Taking inspiration from beatemups such as smash bros, I am relatively wanting  to base my game around the single stages featured inside mostly known beatemups like smash. The use of interesting backdrops and atmosphere, the simplistic yet also complex design of each stage is a key point I want to focus on in my games particular environment.

This perhaps may just be a single level with a larger amount of detail focused inside one scene rather than expanding it over multiple levels. Also the combat in my game itself will take inspiration from smash as it is a cool yet simple style compared to that of something like street fighter or mortal kombat.
