A Knight's Maze - Syntax Bomb Game Competition Sept to Oct 2018

[therevills]

I've decided to go more retro than every before for my entry to the Maze Compo... by using the GameBoy colour palette and resolution (160x144).

Currently creating the graphics for the main character: The Knight

Looks nice.
Did you paint every animationframe by hand?

[therevills]

Looks nice.

Thanks - hopefully I can continue the look

Did you paint every animationframe by hand?

Yeah, I use PyxelEdit to create the images and animation.

[Steve Elliott]

Kudos for painting every animation frame by hand.

I buyed pyxeledit some month ago too.
Its time to create something with it

Running, Attacking, Hurt, Death and Defending

I havent had too much time to dedicate to this project, but managed to get the generated maze going in Godot...

[iWasAdam]

I like the animation....it's very consistent style too which is great....


but what's the game?

"Finished":

Ran out of time and patience with Godot... some things I really like (the animation player and animated sprites) but I felt like I was hacking with the scripts and scenes!

Also tried to change the game play from action to a roguelike-like type of game, but didnt work that well

You are the Knight and you are stuck in the Maze!

Find the door to go deeper into the Maze!

Controls:

Cursor Keys/D-Pad: Move

Space/Button A: Attack

Enter/Start: Play (on Menu)

Select/Space; Toggle Fullscreen (on Menu)


Also the Godot HTML (WASM) seems buggy as the controls do not work correctly: http://www.therevillsgames.com/test/AKM/AKM.html

Nice GameBoy colour palette, resolution graphics and animation.  It could be good when it's finished 

[Derron]

Yes - think it could become a nice game but for now - only (as you stated on your own) a protoype.


As you provided only a Windows version I used my "Maze Raider.Linux.x86_64" and renamed it to "AKM.x86_64", voila, Linux version ready :-) (the ".exe" are only runtimes ... nothing indivdual except maybe an icon + app details).
