Help test my game! "Arcane: The Yamarian Nights" (Testing Phase 2) - Games

[img]http://dl.dropbox.com/u/2432276/newasplogo.png[/img] As some of you know, my favorite hobby is to make game projects. Some of them fail, some of them succeed. In this case, "Arcane" is my best self-made game yet. It was going to be originally called "Arcane, Stealth & Power Volume One: The Siege on the Spiritual Plane" but I decided that due to my laziness I'd just make a tech demo out of it, spanning one city - heavily inspired by "Arabian Nights" and movies like Aladdin. It's not too shabby of a city, the real reason for a tech demo is the pedestrians. They're dumb, but their appearance is completely randomized - different hats, beards, shirts, pants, moustaches...using a system called "Pedestrian Randomization Engine" (P.R.E) I can generate 1000 pedestrians a minute. It's the thing I'm most proud of, even when this game IS made in Construct and not hard-coded. So this game? You're a hybrid of a swordsman and mage. Use fireballs, frostbolts, deathbeams, thunderstorms, shields and your trusty sword to do whatever you want. Just remember, killing pedestrians will cause a city-wide panic.

Doubletap to activate. It's a method of faster travel. The guy in a towel is a GUARD. He's trying to escort you out of the city. The guy who looks like an arab is a BANDIT. He's also trying to escort you out of the city instead of killing you, for some reason.

[b]THIS IS PHASE TWO OF THE PROJECT TESTING, SOME BUGS HAVE BEEN FIXED.[/b] [b]Credits:[/b] Tomi Toikka (that's me) - Project Lead, "coding" (construct markup) and all photoshop art assets. [b]Zee[/b] - Spriting, making all the sprites for this game, all environments - heck, he drew EVERYTHING and he's an awesome guy. MetallicLion - General helping with the game. [B]DOWNLOAD LINK:[/B] [url]http://dl.dropbox.com/u/2432276/ArcaneTheYamarianNights.zip[/url] [b]ALSO INCLUDES ANOTHER CONCEPT GAME: Digger! Also, DX Web Setup + VC Redist so the game works.[/b] Thanks, and let me know what you think about it after you've given it a test drive. It's also quite heavy with Bloom so let's hope your GFX card can take it. This is phase two of the testing, if you guys report bugs you'll greatly help me release this game this month. [editline]21st November 2010[/editline] Also a big, huge thank you to the Gold Members for alpha testing this project.

The camera doesn't move along with me. Screenshot incoming.

Looks like fun. Downloading now.

You could've said "HALP Cat" instead of "MetallicLion" in the credits. [editline]21st November 2010[/editline] Even though I didn't do much. :v:

[img]http://filesmelt.com/dl/screenshot112.png[/img] My character is down there.

Woops! Somehow the camera bugged. I can't fix it until tomorrow, but I'll look into it then.

Well, when you go all the way to the left then you get to an edge that when you jump down from you will fall infinitely. Also, there are a lot of people that seem to be invulnerable. Oh, and just now i flew around a bit in the hot air balloon, and then i suddenly got out of the balloon somehow while flying around, so that the balloon was at another place than i was. I will try and get a screenshot of it.

Yeah I'll add a wall there. Never heard of that second glitch though.

That happens a lot, the balloon is probably using a different collision type than the player sprite inside it.

I think I remember this it seems familiar. Downloading. BUG: no keyboard or mouse use on menu, it loads and no key nor movement or click does anything.

Said it in the GMF, and I'll say it again; this is awesome, I can't wait for release!

Alright, so there's a couple of bugs I'll fix today. Namely, the camera glitch (relating to screen margin settings) and then adding a return to menu / restart level button.

Hey! I use construct too, i aint good at making games all myself, i usually loose interest when i do so. (The main issue is lazyness with spriting/animation) I can do levels and alot of coding, can i join the fun and help with this game?
