HyenaTech
A downloadable HyenaTech
HyenaTech is a game about Ken, a humanoid hyena, as he goes on a quest to find the items needed to cure a strange zombie plague that is taking over his homeland by the minute. Along the way, he makes new friends as he goes through abandoned labs and fights off monsters that get in his way. The gameplay is similar to old school RPGs such as Dragon Quest and Final Fantasy, complete with three dungeons to explore.
This is a game I made with a friend and initially released back in 2021. It was my first attempt at making lore for Ken (the mascot of my YouTube channel). It was intended to be a way bigger game, with multiple characters, plotlines, etc. But, due to my limitations at the time, the end result ended up being a really condensed version of the original plot with a lot of cut content and lore details that don’t get elaborated on much. I was originally going to either update the game or remake it entirely, but I ultimately decided against it. The game isn’t perfect (nor do I consider it “canon” to Ken’s lore now), but it is a neat little piece of RockBandHyena history.

Keep the good work! And thank you for letting me now of the update!
Hi. Glad you enjoyed the update! :D
For a first time making a game, Josh has done quite well!
As simple as many will see this, the game has a classic and easy approach to its gameplay. It's not overly complicated and it kept me glued to the game from start to end!
The combat scenes were great. There are 3 bosses in the game with a unique feel and appearance. I mainly loved the management of my party members and how they each have their own approach. My only complaint for this game would be how the fights start. They begin very suddenly with the warning of 'this fight is now happening' being a screen warp and a sudden white flash. Be aware of that as that flash made me jump almost every time it happened.
Ultimately, this is a project made by someone who knows what they want their career to be! You can complete this in a few hours but you'll be coming back to spend more hours on it. I guarantee that!
[This review is for an older version of the game]
The game has a lot of potential and some serious work put in, but it has some fundamental flaws that make it hard to enjoy, I really recommend doing a tutorial in-game and maybe switching the control layout.
Hi. Thank you for checking this game out. I will do my best to improve and add the things you mentioned. :)
A very late reply on my part, apologies for that, but a major update has been given to the game that fixes the things you had mentioned as well as the addition of new things. Thank you for your critiques. I hope these changes deliver a better experience with the game. Cheers. :)
