Hi, I'm Siiseli and for some while now I have been developing a
platform-engine in c++ using Allegro. It's pretty much done and now
it's time to start developing the game itself. Everything up until
now(not counting the nice graphics michael made, but cannot make
anymore for reasons I do not remember)has been placeholders, but when
starting to develop the game itself, placeholders are not exactly nice
and it sucks not being able to see how your game is going to look.
Heres
some more info on the game: as stated in the topic, this game is a
metroidvania(exploration platformer, if you will)-type of a game. It's
all about exploration, puzzles and action. You could say it's a mixture
of cave story, la mulana, metroid and castlevania(not in a
rip-off-sense though).
The setting of the game is rather simple,
this is becouse I wanted to have pretty much complete freedom of level
design and such. You have been magically warped to this place created
by some kind of a god-character, becouse, well, even gods get bored
sometimes. So every once in a while the god amuses himself by doing
this summoning thingie. Of course the god promises the one summoned
something good if he ever gets out, what this "something good" is, well
that's not specified exactly.
The games window size will be 320
x 240 and it is tile-based. Basic tiles will be 16 x 16, particles and
characters and such can be pretty much any basic size(2 x 2, 4 x 4, 8 x
8, 16 x 16, 32 x 32 and so on).
I was planning on participating
in the Assembly gamedev-competition with this game when it's done.
Unfortunately the rules forbid me from releasing anything of the game
in beforehand, which prevents me from giving you some engine test or
screenshot.
If I do not accept you as my graphician, do not be
offended, it's propably not becouse of you being a bad graphician, it's
becouse I'm looking for a style that fits my original idea of the game.
I'm looking for someone who is willing to stick with me through the
entire project and is willing to really put effort into this.
If
you are interested in the project or know someone who might be, have
any questions or just want to see the engine test, please reply to this
thread, private message me, add me to msn( mailto:eiole_602@hotmail.com - eiole_602@hotmail.com ),
send me email to that same address or catch me in #tigirc @ espernet, I
will be going by the nick Siiseli there. You can also catch me in Efnet by the nick Siiseli_ and Ircnet by the nick Siiseli. I will gladly show the engine
to anyone interested, just can't release the link publicly. Also:
please show some examples of your pixel art when you send your
"application".
Hope to hear from you people
ps. I'm sorry for the awful amount of text ;_;
