Plee The Bear

Plee The Bear is a 2D platform game that rivals the best platform games created in the 90s. The game starts with Plee waking up tired, reminiscing about traveling the world with his belle. He discovers that his honey pot is empty, which he suspects is the doing of a mischievous child. Following honey drops, he reaches the edge of the forest and the beginning of the game.

Plee The Bear is not just an entertaining game, but also the inspiration for the creation of the "Bear Engine," a platform game engine currently in development. The game aims to be as fun as Earthworm Jim, as beautiful as Sonic, and as cool as Mario. The engine is almost complete, and the game is still in its early stages. The game creators invite interested individuals to join their team as graphic designers, sound effects producers, and C++ developers, among others.

The game, the engine, and all the tools developed for it are entirely free to use, and the source code is available under the GPL license. The pictures, sounds, and music are available under a Creative Commons by-sa license. The game's creators even used free software to create the game, including Gimp for the pictures and Rosegarden for the music.

For those interested in playing Plee The Bear, they will need the following requirements: claw (the latest version) for all modules, boost::filesystem (>=1.33.1), boost::spirit (>=1.33.1), SDL (>=1.2.8), SDL_mixer (>=1.2.6), OpenGL (>=6.5), and wxWidgets (>=2.6).

Overall, Plee The Bear offers a fun and engaging platform game experience with the added incentive of being free and open-source. Players can get involved in the game's development and even contribute to the creation of a new platform game engine.
