BUDDY WALKER 3D GAME STUDIOS: A SHORT HISTORY

Buddy Walker 3D Action Game: Jozi Project is an arcade style 3rd person side scrolling, action platform-puzzle game, originally developed in 2003 by Motsamai Malcolm Chose, popularly known as, Buddy Walker. In 2019 the game is developed on blockchain using Unreal and Unity Engine Game Development Kits.

BW3D develops games and mobile apps on blockchain using HTML5, which means they work flawlessly on computers, tablets, smartphones and have unlimited bonuses and rewards applicable in the real world in terms of our game economy. Therefore, as of July 2019, BW3D Game Studios partnered with StarBoy & Blackson Software Developments in South Africa. These are specialist companies in C++ for Unity and Unreal engines for our flagship video game project.

The BW3D Action Game is a run and gun game (or “run ‘n’ gun”) which describes a shoot ’em up in which the protagonist, Buddy Walker fights on foot, with the ability to jump over and crouch under counters, tumble, fly kick and punch. Game play is arcade style and uses side scrolling, vertical scrolling or isometric viewpoints as well as multidirectional movement.

BW3D action game prototype, cinematic trailer is planned for release on all mobile platforms by September 09, 2019, in South Africa and full release by March 22, 2020, in Africa, Europe, India and North America. Projected sales of 1-3 Million downloads on the “free2play” version of the BW3D action game is expected for all mobile gaming platforms.

SETTING 

Buddy Walker 3D Action Game: Jozi Project features the tough military style, General Buddy Walker, as South Africa’s own superhero. The mission of the game is basically a protagonistic “Hero’s Journey” into the unknown to get what he wants but will be faced with obstacles; will overcome adversity and become victorious in the end… This game is about a witch hunt to capture Kong Gorilla, the criminal man hunter and bank robber, who is causing mayhem in the society by using Muthi (dark concocted liquid potion) to metamorphose zoo monkeys into deadly monkey soldiers in order to take over Jozi City and Soweto in Mzansi Africa. The drama happens between three location settings: Jozi CBD, Metro Express Passenger Train and Soweto at Orlando Power Station!

Buddy’s primary enemy in the game is Kong Gorilla, a sinister dreary looking, man sized and big footed wild Gorilla dressed to kill and armed to the teeth. His modus operandi is night clubs, bank robberies, ATM bombings and women abductions… That is, to get the money, whatever it takes and enjoy luxuries like humans do! He is featured wearing his favourite Size 11 “Chuck Taylors” or “All Star” tekkies, cargo pants, paltry armour vest and soviet soldier cap. His primary residence is a mysterious and abandoned power utility station factory and warehouse in Soweto next to a river pond and he uses “Muthi” or “Black Magic” to gain more power… Sometimes he can double himself and appear in two places at once, sometimes he disappears into thin air especially when cornered by law enforcers. He is also known as “Phunyuka Ba Mphete” meaning “Slippery Bastard”!

In terms of gameplay, Buddy Walker 3D Game is similar to Duke Nukem: Manhattan Project but with a unique story and plot twists… However, also influential in conceptualizing the BW3D game was the Judge Dredd comic books which was my favourite superhero during my childhood to early teenage hood. The scenes in our game features some of popular local landmarks in South Africa such as Johannesburg City Skyline, Metro Rail Passenger Train, Soweto Power Utility Twin Towers etc.

The BW3D Action Game is organized in 9 chapters, each one having 3 parts. In each part, the player must face hundreds of lower to higher rank enemies and also hostage rescue a “tribal princess” strapped to a stingray bomb and is rewarded with a Maze Key to unlock a Per Ankh coin chest and the player must collect all 11 of the keys complete a maze puzzle key. Buddy’s Mission is not only to stay alive but to clear each level of the nasties. He must often find special items and bonuses as rewards to the player.  And at some parts of the gameplay, the player gets to use flying squad cars to fly over from one location to the next leading to Kong Gorilla’s Power Utility kingdom and hide out in Soweto.

In conclusion of this high level overview… It is important to note that the forces that will make BW3D Action Game one of the most profitable blockchain game of the next decade are already in motion and cannot be stopped because the technical theories show that we are onto something big. It’s like an astronomer being able to pinpoint the existence and location of a distant planet long before it’s picked on any telescope… Invest in BW3D Game Studios the future rewards are endless!
