Sarax progress....

Posted by Tischkman on Oct. 25, 2007, 11:08 a.m.

This project is freak'n killing me. 19th November is my projects birthday.. 2 years old now.. :) I have worked my ass off those two years. But now it’s almost done!

Sarax - The King Of The Worlds.. Well, you can read about the story in my previous entry.

I haven’t released a wip of the game, that’s crazy right? No it isn’t.. I'm tired of peoples giving ratings and such on wips. Well I have released a wip 1 year ago.. But that really suck compared to how the game is now.

Maybe you want to know how the game will be.. I have sent the game to some people and released it on a Swedish forum 1 year ago. What can I say? They thought it was awesome! :D

If they thought the 1 years old version was awesome.. Imagine the 1 year newer version!

The game contains SINGLEPLAYER CAMPAIGN, SPLITSCREEN MULTIPLAYER/PLAY ALONE WITH BOTS(you can also play splitscreen with bots, GLADIATOR, BABY TREASURE HUNT and a leveleditor for multiplayer levels.

SINGLEPLAYER CAMPAIGN

This is a very long game. With almost 100 levels(many different surroundings) and 10 bosses. There is different vehicles and weapons that keeps the game fun. And of course many different enemies! Theres not so much to say about the campaign other then it will be fun to play through if you have the energy to do that. :P

Characters:

Sarax

The main character. He has escaped from his home planet "Yarock" because of the Kings attacks. He saw no other option but to join the Monarpublic, a organization against the king. He, with many others, was sent to kill the king.

Moblax

Moblax, the actuall king of the worlds. He is king over a universe with over 20 populated planets and he is sending his battlebots and moblaxguards to kill everyone that do not see him as a king. He runs every time Sarax gets near him… but is he that weak?

ShoYorax

This is the leader of the Monarpublics. He is one of the few surviving of the species Shoyarx. A very wise spieces that tend to live thousands of years.

The Unknowns

These creatures can teleport with out devices. They are secretly working for the Monarpublics. They are good at saving.

Seller

These creatures are secret agents also working for the Monarpublics. They have powerups that they are supposed to hand out to you and others that are after the king but they are very parsimonious creatures so you'll have to give them orbs to get what you want.

Mechanix

Mechanix is a insane scientist and engineer. He makes vehicles and battlebots for the king but mostly he updates his own vehicle that is a extremely updated version of the MechaCraft that you can read about later under MULTIPLAYER.

MULTIPLAYER

Well, when you have got bored playing singleplayer maybe its time to test the multiplayer. It is very fun to play with friends! It has different gametypes and 24 different levels(actually unlimited because you can make your own).

One vehicle, 10 weapons, 8 grenades, powerups and on some levels a red button to push! :O! This may be the best splitscreen multiplayer in the GM world(excessively). ;)

Here is a video of multiplayer gameplay.

(I have made some major updates since I uploaded that video but that should show you how it kinda looks like :) )

The game modes on multiplayer is:

(BOTWARS=WITH BOTS ON LARGER MAPS)

(1 ON 1=TWO AGAINST EACH OTHER ON SMALLER MAPS)

Deathmatch

Kill each other to win, choose how many kills that is needed to win.

Available to play on BOTWARS and 1 ON 1.

Capture the baby

Take the opposite teams baby and bring it to your baby. Capture the flag but with a cooler name.

Available to play on BOTWARS and 1 ON 1.

Baby tag

Take the baby and hold it until you win. Choose how many seconds that is needed to win.

Available to play on 1 ON 1.

Invincible

This is a rather odd game type, you can play this game type on any game type.. If you choose Invincible the game type menu will pop up again but with out the invincible option.

Invincible places out 1-4(choose able) masks on the level. If you take a mask you'll be fast, hard to kill, you can create a shield and you'll be wearing a awesome mask.

This game type is fun because if you choose to have one mask and you are wearing it you'll have a huge advantage. Or if you play 1 on 1 with 2 masks the fights will be awesome and fast passed. Fun, fun, fun!

Shield!

Thats was all game types. Lets look at some of the weapons shall we?

(this is just some of the weapons I randomly picked because I … have no time uploading 10 pictures on imageshack ;P )

The shotgun!

This is what it looks like, a simple shotgun. Well every game should have one! This weapon is a close range weapon and fired 5 bullets each time. If all 5 bullets hits the enemy you got a immediate kill.

The Bouncer!

This is one of the heavy explosive weapons in Sarax multiplayer mode. It fires pink bouncing balls that explodes in contact with enemy or after have bounced for a while.

Fireworks!

This weapon kind of looks like a mass destruction weapon but no! It fires fireworks.. Sounds lame but they can really do some damage!

The Bomer!

Well, the name sounds freaky maybe you think it should be "The Boomer", NO!

Anyways, some may classify this weapon as the best. It fires a missile that slowly stops and when it has completely stopped it moves towards nearest enemy in a tremendous speed. It is possible to avoid Bomer shots, but it is hard!

The Lightbow!

This weapon do I classify as the best weapon! It fires lightarrows going in a even more tremendous speed than the Bomer shots. Enemies dies on one hit by this weapon. But it has not much ammo so use it wisely.

That was a walkthrough for some of the weapons. Maybe you want to see the vehicle? Well you have no choice!

The MechaCraft!

This vehicle is a vehicle for all terrains. It has a transforming capacity wich make it possible to move around almost everywhere.

It can fly and it can summon spider like legs and walk.

The attacks is shooting with the cannon och hitting with the spider legs.

There’s not much to write about this, to have MechaCrafts in a game you need to go to option and push on a checkbox :)

It is that way because they are pretty annoying to play against but they are cool!

GLADIATOR

Gladiator is a "mini" game in Sarax - KOTW. You can buy armors, helmets, weapons, super attacks and equipment.

And to do that you need to collects orbs and gain levels.

To do that you need to play.

Allright, this is what happens:

You'll be in a arena(a small level) and enemies will keep coming until you die. The enemies will change depending how many you have killed. The kills will make you level up and the enemies you kill will sometimes drop orbs that you can buy stuff with. You will be able to submit your score online after you have died. You do not loose anything from dying because dying is a part of the game.

It may sound abit odd but when you get to play it you'll understand better.

Baby Treasure Hunt

Well, this is a mini game that has 10 levels. Its a thinking game, to win you'll need to get the golden dummy on each level. If you play through the whole game you'll get to know an awesome cheat for the singleplayer! So be ready with your pencil when your at the tenth level :)

The leveleditor will I write about in my next entry :)

I hope some of you want to play Sarax - The King Of The Worlds after reading this!

I hope I didn't violate a MAX images rule or something :P

Ya, tweak Sarax a bit. Besides Sarax, the sprites are great. The game looks awesome. The spiderbot thing is really sweet.
