The Making of The Game So Far

How MHA Beyond began

I’m Tyler, an electrical engineer turned game developer and a longtime anime fan. My Hero Academia inspired me to combine my programming and art interests and teach myself game development from scratch with Blender and Unreal Engine 4.

It started with an All Might tech demo. My first character model was rough, but each attempt taught me more about modelling and animation. My engineering background and C++ experience helped me build his movement—super jumps, runs and heavy landings—while I kept improving the character himself. After a few months, the work was coming together and people were beginning to take notice.

From a tech demo to a community

Moosewell, who had offered invaluable feedback from the start, approached me on Discord. We began building a Discord community around the game, opening voice auditions and giving fans opportunities to contribute ideas and character designs.

A few core members joined at first, and then interest snowballed. Erik Ohman’s environment work helped us recreate the world of My Hero Academia, while more developers, writers, artists, animators, musicians and voice actors brought their own skills to the project. We built this website to help organize the growing team, auditions and community.

What began as my own learning project became something far bigger than I had ever imagined. I’m deeply grateful to the passionate fans who gave their time, talent, feedback and encouragement. Whether you helped build the game, auditioned, shared the demo or simply cheered us on, thank you. MHA Beyond would not be what it is without your support.
