Prince of Unity
A downloadable game for Windows and Linux
Developed with Unity, this game is a hobbyist black box demo remake of Jordan Mechner's classic Prince of Persia (1989).
Why to remake Prince of Persia?
The best way to learn something is doing something. I wanted to learn how to use Unity engine to develop games and Prince of Persia is one of the best games ever. Besides that, that game is one of the latest classics of all times developed by a solo developer (well, I know that is not exactly true for the PC version but at its origins in Apple II it really is), so rebuild it just by myself was a realistic goal. Mechner published original source code some years ago and it has been remade in other development languages by other hobbyist developers, so I don't expect any legal issues for recreating this game just for learning purposes as far I keep it free and open source.

Install instructions
Windows installer does not need administrative right because it installs everything in your user folder. Once installed, you can remove it using standard uninstaller from Windows "Add or Remove Programs" panel.
For Linux you have three flavours:
* DEB to be used at your Debian/Ubuntu/Mint box. Just use gDebi or dpkg to install the package. It should create a launcher at your programs menu.
* RPM to be used at your Fedora/Suse box. Just use yum to install the package. It should create a launcher at your programs menu.
* Plain vanilla tar.gz with game folder packed inside. Just extract it whenever you want and run Prince_of_Unity.x86_64 launcher.
Every installer is signed. You can check that signature following this instructions.

Glad you enjoyed it!
I’ve seen your game. It’s really nice.
I’d like to have your drawing skills to paint my own graphics, but I’m afraid that my place in the team is at the keyboard ;-)
Just a small feedback. Make the actions buffer as much as possible. For example if I am facing left and I want to run right, I should be able to just hold 'D' and he should turn and start running right automatically.
Thanks for the idea. I’ll take note of it for a further game version.
@dante.signal31 can we work together on porting the other 8 levels? have you got my email?
Hi @ivan866_z. I’m working on other projects now so I cannot focus in porting more levels myself.
But I like your proposal and I can guide you about how to create more levels so they are easy to merge with main branch of the game through a pull request.
Hi GMPranav. Version 1.4.5, just released, implements your proposal.
If you find more bug or have more suggestions, feel free to register an issue at: https://github.com/dante-signal31/Prince_of_Unity/issues
I hope you enjoy it.
