A lone wanderer is awoken in an ancient land that has been overcome by a mysterious blight, corrupting its inhabitants.
With gifts granted to you by a mysterious cloaked figure, you must discover the truth behind what lay ruin to these lands and defeat the corrupted souls that trap you here, lest you become blighted and part of the Forlorn.
Forlorn is an open world action RPG delivered in chapters that expands its world.
Heavily inspired by the Soulsborne series and The Legend of Zelda, Forlorn focuses on action with high-risk combat, exploration and discovery.
Forlorn is being developed by Justin Scott Bowen with character and concept art by Rod Wong.
Obsessed with Soulsborne games Justin began working on this passion project in mid 2016 to try to recreate a similar experience to the Souls series with additional focus on action, exploration and discovery. Marrying his two favorite game series together, Souls and Zelda, Forlorn is something Justin hopes people will love to immerse themselves in and obsess over just like the games that inspire it.
Forlorn currently uses some free, re-appropriated Unreal Engine and community UE4 assets which during development will be replaced or credited on release. It also currently uses animations from the UE4 Marketplace which are planned to be updated and replaced as development continues.
With close to 7 years working in games for the mobile industry, Justin has had the opportunity to work on a number top mobile games and in a wide range of fields inside the industry.
Joining the game industry after finishing his Bachelor of Animation in Brisbane, Australia, Justin created trailers for top mobile games while learning how to make games in his spare time in Unreal Engine 4 and Unity.
He now works on a game development team full-time and Forlorn in his spare time.
A veteran of the games industry, Rod has been a Concept Artist/Compositor/Illustrator/Marketing Artist in the games industry for over 14+ years.
He has worked on IP’s in Games and Television for Lucas Arts, Warner Bros, Konami, Marvel, Microsoft and Disney to name a few. He now plies his trade in the Mobiles Games industry working full-time as a Senior Games/Concept Artist.
It was Justin that introduced Rod to the Soulsborne games genre, and since then he has been hooked on it. So when Justin came up with the idea of making a game in similar vein, Rod was happy to hop on board and help provide some visual assistance to expand the world of Forlorn.
