Title: Unknown at this time

Genre: Flick screen & scrolling (at some points) platformer-metroidvania.

Original concept: Not completely, is inspired heavily from Knight n' Grail C64, and probably will be using parts of map of KnG. All graphics are original though.

Expected game size: About 100 rooms.

Targeted spec: A500 1MB (512K Slowmem). Adf or HD

PC: Grafx2 (for drawing)/Photoshop.

Description of game: A metroidvania-exploration adventure inspired by classics like Castlevania, GnG, KnG etc.

Sneak Preview, still in early stage

nice i like to make a metroid style game even a ripoff to some degree
metroid 1 of my favs all time
i do gfx also
though i was thinking more like how warioland on virtualboy works by being able to move to the background areas
give more depth

nobody · 01 September 2018, 21:55

Oh yes its a tremendous game, and GBA ones are fantastic too.

LeCaravage · 01 September 2018, 21:58

Nice preview screenshot.
Good luck.

Tsak · 01 September 2018, 22:03

Good one @nobody!

Tigerskunk · 02 September 2018, 08:37

Looks nice. Looking forward to the game.

nexus · 02 September 2018, 09:08

is everything static in the background? or are you doing animations?

nobody · 02 September 2018, 09:22

Some things like fires etc, will be animated

Lazycow · 02 September 2018, 12:20

Ahh... in this version, I also like the backgrounds!

nobody · 02 September 2018, 12:30

Yes did some work on them after your advice.

Found a way to draw the original map of the game with my tileset ( i am not expert on Tiled). Probably need around 2 days to update 1/3 of map. The original game map is split in 3 pieces that will load seperately.

nobody · 15 September 2018, 20:36

Had some time so i did a bit more work in the graphics, also there was some progress in coding (scrolling main sprite on map).

ExiE · 15 September 2018, 21:24

It looks great so far. Just small unimportant detail. When you draw candle glow, is should be centered around the flame, not whole candle / light and there is usually dark spot (shadow) under the candleholder.

Predseda · 15 September 2018, 21:55

Seems the contest can result to some really great games, this one is VERY promising, fits perfectly to my favourite genre!

Yes I know this is just unchanged tile in the background, everything still in progress

Not sure why, but this reminds me of Epic.

Can we have other game mechanics from that game, as well bit of crude humor?

Well done!

nobody · 26 October 2018, 11:13

Game halted, consider it out of the competition due to no progress and delays. Sorry, not enough time to make it until competition deadline.

Not entirely dead but frozen for now.

DamienD · 26 October 2018, 12:24

Oh no, this is sad news

...but the game doesn't need to be totally complete by the end of the competetion. It will be judged on where it's at and you can obviously continue working on it afterwards.

Is there an "unfinished" category ? I can't remember... Will have to check...

AMIGASYSTEM · 26 October 2018, 13:47

Ciao nobody, beautiful graphics congratulations, my old eyes do not see the character well, maybe a dress with different color would help you see better

Nowhere in the rules does it say that the game has to be complete by the end of the competetion... and it will be judged in it's current state.
