Ahoy Gamers!
Well after a weekend of making new units, testing, making more units, testing and learning to program and make a game, I have finished Alpha 2 testing. Please feel free to check out the downloadable playable demo, easy instructions:
WASD moves your dude
number keys 1 to 5 select the minion to spawn, a bar shows when its ready , left click to spawn them
march with your undead horde across the map, destroying the enemy until you reach the end and fight the boss.
After he is defeated hit Escape key on your keyboard to quit the game
Pretty much that is all there is to playing. I do look forward to any comments about what you think so far. Game needs tons of polish and some more flashy graphics. Hopefully I can get to a point where I can market the game better and then get some funding, if so I will hire an artist to update the art. For now though, it is not about the graphics, its about the gameplay. Also if you don't want to play the game there is a Youtube video of the full battle I did in the game (took me 4 tries, then I changed some things, hehe). Game does need lots of work still but that's why its called Alpha.
Next up I will update to the demo to include a start screen, a win and lose screen, an upgrade screen etc. I will flesh out the game mechanics a bit more and I will put in some better animations, like an attack, a hit and a move animation, some magic animations and death animations as well as dead bodies on the ground and what about blood... do you guys want blood? Not sure on that yet. The art license however does allow me to continue to work on this project whether I get an artist or not, so with that in mind I will continue to make the game with Alpha 3 starting tomorrow. By the end of the week I will have a full alpha 3 test demo including all the above mentioned things.
Questions, comments and other remarks are welcome, join me on Facebook or Youtube or just here is fine as well.
Happy Gaming!
