So, for the 2012 apocalypse contest, I'm making an RPG based on a story a friend of mine and I are making.
(not a full game, just a demo for now)
Still working on the engine, but I will have the files up as soon as I have something presentable.
In the words of Dr. Doofenshmirtz: BACKSTORY TIME!
Long ago, in a whole universe seperate from our own, The embodiments (queens) of the eight elements, Light, Water, Wind, Fire, Ice, Electricity, Earth, and Dark, lived in power. Their only enemy: the demon king, ruler of evil, on another planet, called the demon lands.
That all changed when Sarasa, the queen of dark, went to the demon lands to talk peace with the demon king. He made her, as well as her husband, Gigerro. evil using his mind tricks. She became Slizara. That's when the war started.
There are wormholes between their universe and ours, called enclaves, that transport thoughts and things from one universe to another. They were all under the possession of the Eight until the Demon King seized control of one 14 years ago. He then sent Gigerro as a scout to Earth, one of the Worlds which the Eight placed their power.
The queens, except for Sarasa/Slizara took part of their souls and put them into seven humans, who were infused for one reason, to kill the demon king when he invades Earth. The date of the invasion: December 21, 2012
You are one of those people. You are the leader. The infusion of Aura, queen of light.
edit: this is to be done in AXE
edit: this is now a team project
team members: aeTIos, and me (so far)
Edit: No longer for the contest... just for fun!
-
Neat story. ;)
-
Sounds like it'd be a nice game :D
-
The invasion should be in December 21st :P
-
Yep, I thought that too. It's incredible how two years ago everyone was worried about it, and now, one month before the date, nobody cares. :P
Edit : Fourtiest post ! Omnomnomnom ! :D
-
^that. But that's prolly 'cause it's actually not dec 21th but somewhere 2145 or so
-
lolz... haven't been on all thanksgiving break, just noticed that and edited it.
-
>.> That backstory could make for a very interesting game with plot twists. I wish you luck!
-
Well, I need a bit of help... Is it possible to team up for this comp? (I need a good graphics person, someone to help with the engine, and an optimizer) I have a story, I have a plan, but I might not fit it all in in time by myself.
-
I won't be able to help, I am also in the competition XD I don't mind helping with some stuff, though, if it is allowed :D I am more interested in seeing a cool game made :D
-
basically, It will be like Zelda, but with [whatever] B [is] being spells, and [whatever] A [is] always being the sword
-
Hmm, so it will be a real time kind of thing? That would be interesting >.> Which language do you plan to use?
-
Axe (b/c I no know ASM).
Nothing fancy graphics-wise, maybe some grey scale, but most likely not. I want it to be good, but not really hard to read the code (I'm a grey scale n00b)
-
Ooh, dis gonna be good.
If Slizara is the queen of darkness, does her husband have epic darkness powers as well?
-
Plus, since this contest is going to be over in a few weeks, you might want to focus on making the game awesome with fewer graphics as opposed to less awesome and more graphics :D
Do you have any walking code done yet or some kind of map system?
-
Walking code = done... I need help with the mapping
-
Asking this question to see about the plot...
What 2 infusions do you want to see first?
This is for my contest entry
Edit by squidgetx: merged poll
-
Hehehe, that shall be some fun code, then >:D Regardless of whether or not you use a tilemap, I suggest keeping two other buffers, one for collision detection and the other for enemy detection. This way, when you are walking, all you need to do is pxl-Test( on each buffer the area you are occupying. If there is an ON pixel in the collision buffer, it means you cannot occupy that location, if there is one in the enemy buffer, you take damage. Here are some relevant posts:

She's not a bro, she's a bra
Ok and now ontopic
Much luck with your game ;)
-
I call everyone dude, regardless of gender, unless it bothers person in question.
-
It was a joke DUDE ;p
-
Okay, just trying to clear that up
-
She's not a bro, she's a bra
Well, I guess that is one way to say it >.>
-
I don't use that slang... I'm more of a guy who uses proper English with LOLCAT mixed in
-
I'm out of the contest... now I'm just doing this for fun.
