Dragon's Castle

[Sik]

Here's a new platformer project I've been working on lately. Hopefully this gets completed (either by me or somebody else). You play as Merlina the witch who goes into the castle hoping to slain the dragon that has been attacking the people of her town. The castle is split among many small rooms and you have to make your way through the end (well, when it's done anyway). Think of it like some sort of minicastlevania with a single stage that forks.

I've also released the source code on GitHub, if anybody wants to make their own platformer game (though you may want to wait for the next update where I made it easier to mess with the player's hitbox... and so I can check that the code there actually builds for sure):
https://github.com/sikthehedgehog/dragon/

ROM download (outdated, gotta upload a new ROM some day, a lot of stuff and rooms are missing from this build):
https://github.com/sikthehedgehog/dr...h.bin?raw=true

Screenshots so far:

















Missing in the outdated build but done now (some appear in the screenshots above):

• Working magic (I just got around that today, even)
• Rotating platforms
• Potions and 1-up items
• A lot more of rooms (current count is 22 rooms)

Planned but not done yet:

• Yes, music...
• Bosses, etc.
• Some sort of dumbed down multiplayer where the second player is a fairy chasing you around that can help you by temporarily freezing enemies with magic.
• Customizable controls (the game supports it but the relevant setting is missing yet).

This looks great as usual Sik, screenshots make me think of Popful Mail. Will try ROM later when I get home from work, look forward to updated version.

Fun game and a great start. Just a few notes, running the github binary results in a black screen. Running the older binary works, but if you fall offscreen you sorta die but, don't die as you're still able to control your character. I playing it on the latest version of MD.emu running on Android 5.0.0.

Signed,

Dying is not implemented yet (not even in my current build) so don't waste your time (if enemies drain your health nothing happens as well, aside from the HUD getting garbled). Tip: pressing A while paused resets the level. (actually there's a whole level select implemented there, but that's beyond the point)

But absolutely zero musical skills, which keeps ruining it =/

Your art style is so European, I love it.

Smooth is smooth is smooth



All I have to say

Very nice, but I don't understand why there are 2 chaines per gear ???

Because it looked too empty (・～・) (don't try to make much sense out of this) This section is in the 4th screenshot in the first post.

Very cool! Merlina looks kinda like a chick from Krion Conquest.

Could you have got away with bigger chains? Either way it's really nice work Sik! I need to rob your graphics skills

Looks extremely promising, throw some Wonderboy 5 gameplay and medieval fantasy story line in there and I'd buy it!

It looked even more awful in practice =/
