Hi, my name is Lars, and I’m the developer behind the game Finares. The story revolves around my dog, Ares, who embarks on a grand journey with other dogs. Most of the characters in my game are actually friends of my dog in real life.
I originally wanted to write a book and was only casually experimenting with the Unreal Engine. However, once the script was finished, I realized that a game would suit the concept better. After nearly 1.5 years of development, I’m thrilled to finally present the first chapter of my game as a free demo. I’d be grateful for your feedback and hope you’ll enjoy the game! Unfortunately, my development time is quite limited as I work full-time and can only develop this game in my free time.
All the in-game dog sounds were kindly provided by Ares himself. I welcome feedback and bug reports to improve the game. The chapters not included in the demo are about 80–90% complete. I hope to release the full version in a few months—it will take as long as it needs to take.
