Screen shots - HwitVlf - 2011-06-09
At the rate I'm going, it'll probably be 50 years before I finish my game, but I thought I'd post a couple screen shots of what I've been working on lately.
The working title is . . . (begin drum roll and manly echo voice) A REALLY SPIFFY GAME WITH DRAGONS AND SWORDS AND STUFF. But I'll probably go with a cool acronym ARSGWDASAS!! (hmmm might need a little work)

Looks good!!!
It'd be good to get a good acronym that you can rhyme off quick and remember like...
Drinc beer!
(Dragons roam in natural calamity be extatic everyone run!)

I have to say this looks fantastic! Can you tell us anything about the story? :)
Re: Screen shots - Creatura - 2011-06-27
This looks much better then I expected from SOM.

The story's setting only vaguely hints at a tie with Kings Field universe as part of a distant past when the world was ruled by a powerful and advanced kingdom. Ruins of the 'ancient kingdom' are found scattered across the countryside. They were once prized for the powerful artifacts which were occasionally found in them, but most have long since been looted by treasure hunters.
It's an era of chaos when self-appointed nobles and petty robber-chiefs squabble for power. The main character is just a commoner who is displaced during the chaos. He decides to try his luck by exploring the last ancient ruin that hasn't been fully plundered- the old royal palace on an island filled with dangers (cheap ripoff of Melenat
). He hopes to find the most sought after and powerful artifact of the old kingdom- the ancient king's sword which disappeared from history when the king was killed by one of his own generals. etc etc... It originally started with the player already at the ruins, but I decided to add a background story of how he got there. I hope to have multiple storylines and let the player decide which path they follow. For instance, the screenshots are of the forest the game begins and the player will choose to 'travel on' or 'camp for the night' and gameplay will differ a little depending on what they choose. It takes a lot of creativity to keep things interesting so I'm not sure how good I'll do.
