So I'm working on this little game idea ...

Basically, I'm thinking of creating a 2D game that would use graphics similar to, Baldur's Gate, gameplay similar to TLoZ: A Link to the Past, and story and overall atmosphere more in the vein of King's Field.

Is that something you guys can imagine becoming a decent game?

Here's a video of what I've made so far - keep in mind that the graphics are all placeholders, and don't belong to me. :P

This is basically just walking around, animations working, dynamic loading of the map and its NPCs, dynamic update of the order in which the various elements will be drawn(player and NPCs), etc.

I have a KF3 save game. When I loaded it up my sword was not equipped. I've checked my inventory and the Excellector is not there.

I happened to have saved just outside of Leon's house. Well that's where the game loads up to anyway. He is currently polishing something that looks like the Icarius (or whatever) keys. I think I had collected all 3 of them, but I am not positive. I can't remember if they are in my inventory or not.

Is it possible that I handed Leon the Excellector just before saving for the last time, and did not realize that he took it? Or is my save game just corrupted?

PS: I am playing a Japanese game that I "purchased" (I think technically Sony is now calling it a lease) from the PSN store. So that could easily explain why I didn't notice Leon taking the sword. It was Lv3 just for the record.

Anyway, I've played through this game at least twice not counting this play through, and I can't recount anything like this

I'm having an issue with Diadem of Maunstraut graphics.

Video card: Nvidia Gforce 210
OS: WinXP

Hi folks,

I'm new to this forum. I've played KF1, KF2, Ancient City and Eternal Ring and think they are the best games I have ever played; and I've played many over the years. I realize this is a developers forum but thought I may be able to find a game similar to the KF series here. I played Diadem of Maunstraut on my old win98 machine and thought it was very well done. I tried to play Diadem of Maunstraut on my new winxp machine to no avail. If anyone has a game I can try on my pc it would be greatly appreciated. I have been frustrated trying to find a game similar to the KF series with no luck.

Die-hard Kings Field fan,

Are their any requirements for entering Guyra's area in KF2? I thought maybe you need the dark crystal/slayer to enter. But I can't find any evidence of that

Is it possible to get past Necron without having either?

Just for kicks, I am messing about with Unity as an engine for my next KF style adventure game. ‎  For the sake of sales, it will not be called King's Field or take place in the KF universe (sadly) but it is a pet project that I suspect will take me a very very long time once I really get into it.

I was dabbling with some demo assets and making a scene, I will be posting additional vids later today, but here is one to see how it might look (low res capture).

I stumbled upon this a while ago and it blew me away.

Before you click on that link, let me tell you what's there.
This guy made 11 videos of himself playing Diadem of Maunstraut, narrating his playthough. ‎  Its video captured so its not poor quality.

The really impressive part is that each of the 11 videos are over 30 minutes in length A PIECE. ‎  Counting the miscellaneous minutes, its probably 6 hours of professionally shot footage of the game with his voiceovers.

Moved, I messaged him thanking him for the tribute.
Likewise, he responded back, thanking me for making the game. ‎  :)

So, I know its cliche to say that this is my best musical work yet (as I say it with each attempt) but I really do feel like I'm making progress here. The project, once again is Ankou Awaits, and the album's name is Wyllt.
I spent WEEEEEEEKS putting this together. Writing. Recording. Now I'm finally done with all of that.



A few things different from previous albums -
~ I added some symphonic elements. Not enough to be symphonic metal I'd say, but enough to give the occasional late 90's second wave black metal vibe. No "keys" per say, but more strings and ah's.
~ Lead/solo guitar elements and occasional clean/singing vocals.
~ Also, just like better ingredients ~ better pizza, better instruments ~ better recording also applies here.

This is a full length album, but I'll post two songs here - Track 1 and Track 5.

Now I'm going to try to get the attention of a better record label than The Path Less Traveled Records. Nothing against them of course, but you'll never know how good you can get until you start from the top and work your way down.

You literary buffs, this is a split concept album from Welsh mythology. (Wyllt~rhymes with the German licht~is Welsh for "Wild") Part of this is about Gywn Ap Nudd's journey reclaiming his love, but when he makes Cyledr (later renamed Cyledr Wyllt) eat his father's heart, we travel though Cyledr's sanity breaking. Also a touch of King Arthur ~ google is your friend if you want to know more about these legends.

Question, comments or concerns, I'd be happy to accommodate. You can sample all the songs on my project's dot com.

I'm just posting a redirect here so I know everyone sees this:

It can be kind of easy to miss because I've stickied it.

Anyway I've had kind of an idea like this stuck in my head for a long time. It's just now all coming together. I'd like to see a game to rival the corporate games, or even make a mockery of them, born of everyone who wants to working on it opensource style just like a lot of software is developed nowadays. I don't see any reason why games should be any different. And I think SOM is the platform for the job, and I think KF is game with the pedigree.

I still think KF2 is the best game of all time. And the quintessential 3D adventure game. So its only right for the first big opensource game to be KF and herald a new era of 3D video games in the same way I think KF heralded the arrival of 3D video games.

I am going for a Shadow of the Colossus slayer but with a more conventional experience so that it doesn't feel like a flagrant exercise in minimalism.


PS: also I am working on new controls for SOM that I think will be the dominant controls for SOM games in the KF vein going forward. They've turned out really well and much better than expected, including: dodging/rushing, jumping, ducking, climbing, hanging, fast turning, shields, all without any new buttons, so pay attention if you are into in that sort of thing.

PPS: Don't be surprised if I don't reply to this thread. I'd lock if I could. Feel free to do so. I honestly don't have any reason to navigate back to here, but I will leave the tab open for a day or two.

Well it's not exactly an addon for SoM seems this was as good of a place as any to post it.

A while ago I got the idea to make a cursor of everyone's favorite sword and decided to give it a shot quite recently. I feel it could use some more work but that could just be me trying to be a perfectionist so I've decided to post it here to get some opinions before I continue to work on it.

I also have it saved as a .png so if anyone wants it for an icon or something let me know. It looked better before it was converted into a cursor in my opinion.
