Everything seems to be perfect in this place; the people live long and peaceful lives and there hasn't been any war for as long as anyone can remember.

Solve intriguing puzzles to uncover ancient secrets. Watch out for deadly traps and monsters as you explore. Discover and use exciting items, weapons and skills to advance on your journey. A resurrection option which will revive your character but at the cost of some experience and gold. As you level up you will gain points to customize your attributes. This game feature no party (you are the main character) and therefore you can't rely on any allies.

Nicke 151 Posted April 17, 2013 Update! Just a small update... I've added a new screenshot showing off the menu scene. Next time I'll probaby have a bigger update. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
+ Dark Influence 251 Posted April 18, 2013 Looks pretty good overall, the main character seems a bit chubby but who cares about that? Like the idea about stat distribution by the way, hate the idea of leveling up though - I just hate grinding no matter how small the amount in general. Puzzles... I love puzzles, they confuse the hell out of me and I end up sitting at the computer for hours trying to solve them. Deadly traps... Sounds merciless - Nice!

Cecillia 652 Posted April 18, 2013 This looks really nice Glad to see some variety in terms of game design Although, the generator face character... it's a huge turn off for me X.x Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Nicke 151 Posted April 18, 2013 Yeah I am not really good at spriting so that character will have to do until I find a better one I guess. Thanks anyways :3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Nicke 151 Posted April 21, 2013 Update! Okay, I've decided to work on my HUD today and this is the result: Basicially the second image would be the one you see at the most. I have implemented a new feature which fades out the HP, MP, EXP bar if they aren't updated after a few seconds, i.e when you are out of combat at not taking any damage it will fade out. This will pretty much be the final HUD since I am really pleased with it at the moment. I've also added an animation to the gauges when they are changing which looks alot more awesome then before. I've also changed alot of the buttons to make it easier to attack, use items and skills etc. (if you didn't test my game before then disregard this but it was a bit hard to control the character).

Nicke 151 Posted April 24, 2013 Update! My game progress is going a bit slow since my last update but I do have a small video showing off my newest title scene. I like the atmosphere to it and hopefully with a few tweaks here and there it will be the final version. I want a unique feeling to it and I think I've achieved that, I'll let you decided! Note that the quality is alot better then what the movie is showing. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

RetroExcellent 369 Posted April 24, 2013 Looking good so far! I'm rather interested in this game, though I agree with the others about the face sets, hopefully you can find someone who can get you a nice custom one. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yeah I do plan to change character/face sets at some point but it is not really that important at the moment I guess. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
+ Dark Influence 251 Posted April 24, 2013 "Always make sure to set your priorities correctly." - Another quote from god knows where. This is looking pretty good so far Nicke, wish I could do these kinds of things myself - Oh well, can't be good at everything. The music works with the title screen quite nicely, keep going in the current development direction and this game will be wonderful I think. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
+ Novem 344 Posted April 24, 2013 You could... you know... just facegen something less chubby. Maybe using some custom gen parts that you can find online. I've found some pretty good ones (even if a lot of them don't center on the face right). Either way, I really love that title screen and can't wait to see more!

Radiant Arin 412 Posted April 25, 2013 I actually didn't mind the faceset when I was playing it. Mainly because I was more focused on gameplay and actually getting through to the end. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Paddy 77 Posted April 25, 2013 WHY DOES THE HERO HAVE TO BE LESS CHUBBY?!?!?! I think the character looks fine as he is. Sure, a custom faceset would be nice, but still keep him looking how he is. This game is looking pretty awesome. I've watched some of the other videos you had up on youtube for this, and it's all looking spiffin'. Good job! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Nicke 151 Posted April 26, 2013 Thanks for the feedback all. I appreciate it. Update! I'm going share my latest screenshot in case you missed it! Featuring a neat little puzzle ingame, it might perhaps be easy to solve but I like doing puzzles so expect alot of different ones. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

+ Dark Influence 251 Posted April 26, 2013 I can't for the life of me figure that puzzle out, I don't know a damn thing about puzzles. If you'd be so kind Nicke, can you please explain that puzzle to me? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Nicke 151 Posted April 26, 2013 (edited) I ENVY YOUR PUZZLE SKILLS! TEAM ME YOUR WAYS SENSEI!! Hehe, well since I know a little bit of scripting it makes life easier when doing weird puzzles I can't for the life of me figure that puzzle out, I don't know a damn thing about puzzles. If you'd be so kind Nicke, can you please explain that puzzle to me? It is simply a "light puzzle" where you step on the tile so they turn green. No overlapping is allowed meaning if you go back to a tile thats already green it change to red again. To solve it you need to find the right path.

+ Dark Influence 251 Posted April 26, 2013 Most interesting and simple, thank you for that explanation. I'm going to add this game to my 'Watch and Wait' list. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Nicke 151 Posted May 4, 2013 Update! Not sure if I will be keeping this in the final version but for now I have implemented a minimap script along with some customized graphics. What do you guys think? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Cecillia 652 Posted May 4, 2013 The map system is freaking awesome! It looks really great, it's so much better than that blue and dark blue one >_<. I'm looking forward to more! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Nicke 151 Posted May 7, 2013 (edited) So, anyone up for some more beta testing and checking if I have made the game a bit less laggy? Send me a PM or post at this thread so I can send you the project file if so. Edited May 7, 2013 by Nicke Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
+ Dark Influence 251 Posted May 7, 2013 I'll test it, I've got some time to spare. Should be good going by what I've seen so far. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
