Arcana - LoonyLand Inspired Adventure

iRhymeWithRawr · 08-01-2012, 03:02 PM

Arcana

Hello everybody! I would like to present the project that I have been working on for the last month with a friend. It is about the adventure of a young mage who encounters his first magical object (a twig) while taking a stroll around the sunshine hills, his living area. During the game, the player will encounter wacky enemies, learn new magical spells, level up and earn perks, do alchemy, complete quests, and more! The game file is currently not publically available but I will show you some screenshots of the current version of the game. The game is largely inspired by aspects of Loonyland (1&2), because I find the loonyland series one of the best rpg series I have played.

The game supports screensizes up to 1920x1080.

The game has a working pause & quest menu.

You can do alchemy! Yay!

Ooh, NPCs!

Any thought, and what you would like to see, or not see, are appreciated!

I will be releasing a beta build sometime soon, hopefully!

Thanks for Reading, and thanks to you, Mike Hommel, for inspiring me to get into programming!

You should add gigantic boss monsters.

^^ This.

Preferrably ones that are giant and made of ice. Know what I'm saying?

Chinese food giant monsters work too.

Game's looking fantastic. Is it 8-directional shooting or mouse-aimed?

Gigacat · 08-01-2012, 09:37 PM

Really nice graphics there. Really nice. Try mabye to get a huge varriation in the amount of bullets you have - ie huge 1 shot 200 damage shots along with poison, long range and mee-lee sort of stuff.

Theres currently 18 different wands (for looks), 13 different spell tomes with unique effects, and 4 different firing patterns for the regular attacks.

Mouse-aimed, I wanted the player to have that freedom.

There already are. There is a the-thing like monster in the second area of the game,
And a fuzzy grizzly-bear looking guy with a giant hammer. More will be added still, so don't worry about it not being diverse!

Update Time! More Screenies!

Feedback appreciated, tell me what you think could be improved upon.

The Level Up Menu

The Character Creation

An Area

Another Area

Yet another Area

This looks amazing.

Still waiting for the day we get a Hamumu FPS, though. xP

Hehe, way to spoil the excitement ;P.

I might create an FPS related to this one day, but I don't really have the skill to create a (good) hamumu-related fps.

There is an ETA now; 30 September 2012

Awesome, Regeneration Booze. Love the simple but colorfull graphics, and it looks very cool.

iRhymeWithRawr · 08-13-2012, 07:13 AM

Update time! I added some monster sprites!

A Boss Monster

A crawling snowball-shooting monster

Behold, the devourer! (Tentacles are currently static, but I know how to make them act as tentacles, so no worries

)

Updated cavernous area

Can you guess what these are?

Nik · 09-03-2012, 01:01 PM

I've been working on some animations

iRhymeWithRawr · 09-16-2012, 11:50 AM

Update Time!

My collabbing buddy Nik did some work on the menus!
They are much nicer now!

Gigacat · 09-16-2012, 11:19 PM

That looks baws. Seriously. Awesome work!

cyberclone42 · 09-21-2012, 09:21 PM

Did you make the graphics yourself?

Yes. Everything.

Which is a good thing, because it makes me independent and also gives me the freedom to add anything I like.

cyberclone42 · 09-26-2012, 05:37 PM

Nice job.

iRhymeWithRawr · 10-04-2012, 08:56 AM

Update Time!

Just some pictures.

Some Enemies

A haunted snowball

Above is the old burly bush sprite, below the new one.

SEKRIT

Also, if Jamul ever reads this, are you okay with me using some names from a few hamumu games like I did with the burly bush. The game will be a free download.

And to everyone else; Please do tell me what you think.

I guess I'll give some input: It looks amazing, the screenshots can only kind of show gameplay but from what we see it really does look like it will be fun to play.

Keep up the good work!
Also, for now I'll just come to my own conclusions and say that staff is roughly the equivalent of the Armaggedon Sword.
