So, I saw the 1 Grand prize for the YoYoGames competition, and decided to enter. So, I've been working for two days on my entry so far, and I have:
* Skeletal animation system* Weather effects* Basic game engine* 3 enemy types* 9 spells* 2 levels* 1 NPC* Basic interface+visual theme* A couple of gameplay "quirks"So, what is QVINTVS: Endless Winter? Think of it as an Action-Adventure/Platformer/RPG. You have your world exploration, you have your frenetic fights, you have your platforming segments, and you have your leveling system - all in one game. With a dollop of humor and an interesting story to top it off.Gameplay conceits (What makes it unique):* Temperature gauge. If you get too cold or too hot, you will eventually freeze to death/burn to death. This can be remedied by the eating of warm/cold foods; keeping active; or by moving into colder/warmer areas.* Full-fledged combat system - use swords, spears, axes, bows, and thirty different spells to defeat a wide variety of enemies.Projected game length: 4 to 8 hours.
P.S. Send me a demo.
i started to, but i havent gotten far. Basically, i've jsut added over-the-shoulder veiw to my human animation system. I wish i knew Ultimate 3D, but im still learning and so i have to use D3D for this game. Bah.
wait why would you burn to death from overheating? wouldnt you just sweat then freeze?
…Overheating as in, you step in a fire. Or lava. Or get set on fire. That kind of thing.
At 8:22 PST, I finished Prince of Persia, the Sands of Time. Maybe. Now that 2 minutes have passed, I can't rewind…
…And now you're stuck with nothing to do. >]
False. I can make games. Also, Sam & Max Season 2 is coming out.
