A horrible fate has befallen the kingdom of Mes-Lormar. The long dormant volcano, the Eye-of-the-World, had erupted and destroyed its capital of Katherdome, followed by an invasion of the strange beings of darkness from the fiery underworld, led by the malicious Summoners and their Black pantheon.

With the old king dead in the chaos that ensued, the only hope for restoring order and stopping the horrors released from the underground realms lies in the hands of young Lionel Beli, the warrior-prince who reluctantly accepted the crown and title of Sovereign of Mes-Lormar.

His adventures take him across the Five Realms into the Temple of Redwing, where he must find the World Crystals guarded by the zealous dragoons of the Dark Heart. The light of the Crystals is the only way to defeat the Black pantheon and seal the underworld rift forever.

Uses my 13-color palette. Boss room is inspired by an older work of mine.

The square rocks look nice. And the bricks. And grass. And characters... It is all very good, and in only 13 colors!

Awesome mockup, can't believe it uses only 13 colors...

Looks very clean and colorful

You have such a wonderful distinctive look to your work Mrmo.

Now it's definitely 13.

I remember checking TWICE and it was 14. I must be going mad

Any release date for this great looking game?


user
Stickman (Level 7 Sheriff) @ 1/18/2016 03:12

A wonderful entry. Very detailed and great character designs.

Black isn't used in the image as far as I can tell. The darkest colour is the dark green. So 13.


user
iLKke (Level 9 Nidan) @ 1/17/2016 15:55

Definitely 14 different colours. Unless you're not counting black for some reason :)


user
andylittle (Level 9 T-rex) @ 1/17/2016 15:43

Great! Retro atmosphere of gaming is returning to my mind - thanks for your great job :)

The "bridges" are supposed to be on/off retractable "sticks" that come out from the walls, either at regular intervals or via a toggle lever or something :)

I made the letters myself while drawing the mockup!

Also, 14? I'm fairly sure I checked it o_o


user
Theoden (Level 8 Marshal) @ 1/17/2016 03:20

Excellent work.

I love everything about it.


user
iLKke (Level 9 Nidan) @ 1/17/2016 02:42

Lovely in every way and a complete overkill!

Only (tiny) crit is that the shadow on that potion on retractable bridge looks like it hovers in mid air.

What is that very nice font you used?

P.S.

You mean your 14-color palette? :)


user
CELS (Level 7 Cuttlefish) @ 1/16/2016 21:49

I would probably pay $100 to play a game like this.

Why don't people make games like this?

I've not been into gaming for many years now.

But when you do mockups, I can't wait to play.

Love those frame transitions with palette swap.
