The Hobbit: Rise of the Dragon King is an adventure game in the form of a board game with themes based on Lord of the rings and The Hobbit.

A simple one cursor, one click actions. Both left and right click gives same actions.

This is a much shorter game then my usual offerings.

Storyline:
Gandalf the wizard seeks your help (Saruman has taken away Gandalf's magic) as Princess Mika Milovana of Dale has been abducted by Saruman the evil wizard.

Saruman has taken her to his Black Tower as a sacrifice for the Dragon King Smaug, who returns to Middle-earth every 50 years for a royal sacrificial offering, for which Saruman will gain control over all dragons throughout Middle-earth.

With just a few Crams and a bottle of spring water in your bag, along with nervous courage, you set off to rescue Princess Mika Milovana from the clutches of Saruman in the Black Tower.

Your quest is not an easy one for many allies of Saruman lurk throughout Middle-earth (Wargs, Trolls, Goblins etc).

Enemies will drive you back whilst friends will help you as much as they can.

During your journey there are fairy cards, dragon cards and help or hinder cards. Each will determine your progress in the game. Along the way you may be given charms that will help you defeat Saruman, such as a ring of invisibility.

If you make it to the Black Tower can you summon all you courage to defeat Saruman and return with Princess Mika Milovana of Dale?

Input you own Hobbit Name into the game:

Expect: September 2015.

I'm pretty sure Slasher is actually a team devs working under one banner.
Or not. This looks like a lot of fun, either way.
Good luck mate.

Mandle · Wed 24/06/2015 04:37:11

Looks awesome mate! Can't wait to play!

Just one thing though: I think that using the Harry Potter font in a Middle Earth game is not going to be popular with fans of either genres.

Good luck with the game Slasher... you put out game like there's no tomorrow!

Admit it, you just want us "eternally procrastinating" people to feel bad for not producing even an ounce of what you do!

That's not even the half of it...The dude has a full-length game finished and playable through from start to finish but won't release it. I speak of "Desecration"...

Nudge-nudge,wink-wink Slasher...

Updated First Post with updated screenshots...

Sorry, just a quick question, why do you keep adding width=700 to all those images? I have my browser set to nearest neighbor scaling and the images all look awful thanks to that.

Slasher · Fri 26/06/2015 05:01:59

Hiya Khris,

I suppose it depends how people have there computer/browser set. if i use the images actual width of 800 it creates a small x scroll and really tight images. larger images get a really big x scroll. On my setup they look fine.

Of course if you think it best to leave the width out.....? meanwhile, my browser (chrome) is zoomed at 100...

cheers

Mandle · Fri 26/06/2015 06:31:22

Yay! I can read what it says on the cards now without having to guess! And the board looks awesome now that my browser is not skipping pixel rows anymore!
