Fabled Blade
Created by Ikroth and Nuthen
Worked on from April 2014 - July 2014
Things I like about it:
- The node generation in the overworld
- The frame border around different things
- The nice pieces of art
- Fun combat - The animations and effects keep it engaging
- Animation on the battle victory screen
Things I don't like about it:
- Inconsistent art. Most of the art was found online.
- Boring overworld. You spend a lot of time on it, but it's just a few boring colors and flat surfaces.
- Too many underdeveloped systems (event, item, dialogue). I tried to make everything as extensive as possible, but I was too overambitious for what I was able to do at the time.
What I can learn from it:
- Focus on one thing at a time.
- Don't worry about having every feature. Do a few features well.
Warning, the code is messy, and many things don't work. Today I would code it much differently. It is very playable though!
Things to know when you play:
- It's designed to work without a mouse. All of the navigation is done with arrow keys and enter/x to select.
- The goal of each area is to reach the purple node. That takes you to the next area.
- The blue nodes are towns.
- When walking onto a red node, there is a chance to enter battle with 1-3 enemies
