Who's making it?

Feek is making this game. He is one of the better game makers here. Don't believe so? Then wait for the demo of this game because it'll surely knock your socks off. Feek has skillfully made all of the tiles and music in this game. The sounds are free. He also scripted it but the scripting is neat and uncommented. It's all done solo and will take time to complete. Expect the demo to come out by Febuary (and not near the end!).

Story so far...

[edit]

Preface

You were in the future testing out a time travel pod. Somehow you were sucked in and it started up. You were brought to the 12th century of earth. You landed by a village called Avon, a made-up location in britin.

Britin at this time was getting overrun by enemys from the future. Because the enemys of the future also had time travel technology. Now that you made it to britin, it's up to you to stop the enemy invasion and destroy all of the enemy gateways. Along the way you'll meet up with human friends and do quests for the locals.

[edit]

Main storyline

When you land, you are greeted by a scared townsfolk. Once you go to the town, you gain the nickname "Blockman" by the townsfolk due to your unearthly appearance. You quickly get information on whats happening and get your first mission from the duke...

Gameplay

[edit]

Saving

You can save the game anywhere, I hope. It's been tested and works great. I origionally had a save stone idea, but some people don't like that idea. I got a little sick of it because you'll be traveling far away from save points and sometimes I don't get chances to save and need to exit.

[edit]

Controls

Mouse Movement - Move cursor in menus.
Mouse Left - Accept a menu option.
Up/Down/Left/Right - Movement.
Enter - End talking.
Spacebar - Action/Attack. Speed up dialogue.
</> - fast switching between characters.
Ctrl/Alt - Use magic (not in demo)

[edit]

Leveling up

Each time you level up, the stats are invoulenterily altered. There are no stat points to place. All you do is gain experience, level up and continue fighting. Leveling will affect the stats: ATK,DEF,HP,MP.

[edit]

Battle Engine

The battle engine is an active battle system. It's no longer a beta system now. There is no varying AI, it's just enemy sees (you), enemy does (finds/attacks you). Your attack is based off the weapon you have equipped. You can attack creatures, slash bushes, and break stones and cut certain tress.

You play as the active character you have selected in the game menu. Just like pokemon, you can choose to switch who is out first. Remember, leveling up 1 character alone won't be as powerful as leveling up all of them. Sometimes boss battles are too difficult for one character alone; expect to see some fallen combatants. Also, in some situations you'll need to be a certain character so expect him to be ready for when the time comes.

Progress Information

All I need to do now are these two things:

Enemys/NPC's in mapping.
Make cave/cave boss.

I sucessfully completed leveling up. I'm going to make the last location, a cave. I'm also going to continue making monsters, NPC's and cutscenes. Please note that any miscellanius coding isn't included in the progress info, ie: cave light code.
