Asporia: The Hidden Threat (Mini RPG)

[Gord10]

Hello
Maybe you know me, I was working on game called "Lost in the Nightmare" which uses pre-rendered 3D graphics. I didn't abandon it, but had a break. Because I have joined for a mini RPG competition in my country, and I'm working on Asporia: The Hidden Threat. This game will use the same graphical technique as Lost in the Nightmare, 2D backgrounds from the Half-Life engine.

Ã,  Ã,  Ã,  Story
Ã,  Ã,  Ã,  We had been walking for a long time and we were too tired... I was going to the Flea Castle, an outpost of our kingdom in the Kreatia Forest, with my knight friends fast. Because we had a very important report to give. The Black Poison (another name; the Armies of Darkness) was gathering again on the south of our kingdom according on the rumors, and we were sent to research it. The Black Poison was banished from Asporia by the human, elf and drawf alliance 50 years ago. In these days, only a few mages who wears black robes and small groups of trovgs were left in Asporia.
Ã,  Ã,  Ã,  Ã, But the things that we saw on the south was terrible. The evil rages like night elves, vampires had appeared again and an army, which includes the strong rages like trovgs, hartsies, was getting prepared. So, we were taking this report to the kingdom in a hurry. Because the country wasn't ready for such a big war, so the war preparations should be started immediately.
Ã,  Ã,  Ã,  Ã, Our journey to the kingdom was hard. We had got lost our horses, goods and most of our friends in the small wars during our journey.
Ã,  Ã,  Ã,  Ã, May them sleep in peace...
Ã,  Ã,  Ã,  Ã, We had just entered the Kreatia Forest that night and we needed some rest.Ã,  Commander Scorth decided to have camp in the forest.
Ã,  Ã,  Ã,  Ã, Commander Scorth...
Ã,  Ã,  Ã,  Ã, I liked him as if he was my father. My real father was a soldier who works for the kingdom, too. He was killed by a magic user who wears the black robe.
Ã,  Ã,  Ã,  Ã, We needed some wood for the camp fire, and it was my turn to collect wood that night. So I had set out to find some wood to the east.

You'll play as a knight called Arleon who can fight and use magic in the game.Ã,  If you use your weapons often, then you'll gain battle exp's. So you can play the game two times, as a mage or a fighter. There will be lots of events, but I don't want to spoil.

















There will be also cutscenes with cinematic camera pitches. (Sorry, the screenshots doesn't look while they are small. Save them as on your hard disk andÃ,  zoom on them to see more details.)

Very interesting ...

I like the idea of using the Half-Life engine to create an AGS game.Ã,  I'm trying to get my brother into AGS because he developes Max Payne 2 mods and I thought using that game's detail/shading/etc. would work awesome for something like you're doing!

I look forward to seeing this.

Questions:
Are you using Inventory items as spells?Ã,  If so, way cool.
Will there be an English version (the screenies don't look Englishy to me?)

[Gord10]

Thanks, guys Yes, I'm using the inventory items as spells and weapons. You will use them on the monster. And yes, there will be an English version. But I need a proof reader, because my English isn't so good
Forgot to mention: There will also be random events when you are fighting through the levels. For example, you may come across 2 undeads, 1 Brota's and 2 dead rangers who got killed (you can use the dead soldiers' bags to increase your HP and MP) in the 1st level when you play first time. But the second time you play the game, you may come across 1 undeads, 3 Brota's and 1 dead rangers.

Cool, cool, I love that you're allowing the player to choose between being a mage or a fighter. Good luck in the comp!
