Trade Secret
Trade Secret was chosen by The University of Advancing Technology to represent it's game design program at Game Developer's Conference 2011 in San Francisco alongside Project Tellus. TS was also a student entry in the 2010 Independent Game's Festival.
Trade Secret is an innovative 2.5D action platform game developed in Unity 3D for play in a web browser. Players take the role of one of the Sons of Salvage, a group of engineers devoted to the restoration of Under Haven, humanity's last refuge against a forgotten apocalypse. They travel between massive caverns and underground factories salvaging scrap and building new weapons and armor.
