Here's a little teaser demo of my project, thus far. I've updated it a little bit, and ironed out many of the bugs, but a few are still there. TELL ME IF YOU SEE ANY I MISSED!
Enjoy! And please, please, please, please, please, please, PLEASE; any critique would be welcome. Feel free to PM me if you have anything constructive to say.
Raven Faelynn lost her mother in a gruesome murder when she was a child. The killer was never found; now it seems, the killer has returned for Raven.
Desperate to find the identity of the killer, Raven attemts to contact her dead mother, but when the connection to the abyss is not completely cut, Raven's world is turned upside down.
Well, I'll release a small bit of info on my project, but I haven't got much, just a gameplay feature that is vital to your survival and the tiniest bit of plot
Dark Entity
Your the only one left, the rest were annihilated by the barbaric and ruthless race known as humanity. They slaughtered your kind, burned them on stakes, tortured them until it took the last breath out of their lungs, they destroyed everything you believed in.
Now, it's time for revenge...
So your asking, 'what makes this game different?', 'what is it that seperates it from the other games?'
Well, here are my answers.
Free-Roaming Adventure - Isn't it about time when you decided whether you wanted to do this quest or that one when you wanted. Well, now, with Dark Entity, you can. Roam around the vast country of Karano, take on the story when you please, or simply indulge in something you would prefer, including puzzle-heavy dungeons, extra side quests and a vast world to explore.
Survival - Living out in the wilderness is a hard life, but getting hungry doesn't make it any easier. Hunt down creatures to survive in this dog-eat-dog world, raid convoys to steal some extra loot and food, do anything you possibly can to stay alive.
Either be the hunter or hunted.
Well, I hope you like it so far.. I will probably release screenshots tommorow, or maybe the next day, it all depends on progress.
But, dont worry, the hunger system for Survival is done. Now all I need to do is make up all the food and creatures to eat.
I'm considering a ABS battle system made by myself, but it all depends on the situation.
Wow, Ace, that second screenshot is creepy...niergh... -shivers- looks like we've got a lot of good games, meaning a lot of good competition. Can't wait.
Well, if it's a picture (which it probably is) then it doesn't matter, as faces can be shown via pictures, though you can only have up to 30 pictures in your project...which would be harsh for me, as I use about 50 pictures for all the facesets of my characters. On top of that, you need all those other pictures to make it look even better.
I'm fighting every fiber in my body to try not to whore off my game because I believe it's a curse (every game I show to the public I always cancel).
I will spit out some random information for anyone who's interested, though :D
-It's currently called Our Final Four, The Seven Children Wept
-The title is a joke on Philip K. Dick's bad title writing skills
-The game takes place in on a plot containing a mansion, graveyard, masoleum, and ancient tower.
-The story is about the exposition of children
-There are no weapons; the entire thing is based on wiccan magick
-You can become addicted to healing potions which causes more damage than harm if you overdose :D
-It's inspired by Sweet Home, one of my favorite Capcom games.
I plan on working on it a bit tonight. Hopefully I can finish it as I have almost 2 months and the game isn't that large in scope.
you've got to be kidding me... you've been here how long? how many project topics have you seen here?
the only games i can think of that take place in a mansion are Resident Evil 1 and Realms of the Haunting and I'm probably the only person on this website that played RotH so i doubt anyone knows about that...
i think someone else in this rtp contest has a game that takes place in a mansion but that was purely coincidental.
please show me this MOST GAMES because if you ask me you should rephrase your question to "why do most games take place in anime fantasy land with a 16 year old expert swordsman who's parents died in a fire???"
Yeah, the whole "my parents died and now I want revenge" RPG cliche is getting real old...I mean...I went to a forum the other day...their entire first page of projects was something like that...oh, sure, they all died in different ways, but come on...it's bad enough when you have one person in there that can't understand why he isn't getting help, but when half the forum is doing it?
