Peter has posted several new screenshots of his project Dark Resurrection. Today we’re looking at two new objects – a train carriage and a Blood Born.
The carriage will be part of a “moving battlefield”, which sounds a lot like an excellent battle from Shining Force III. The Blood Born is still undergoing changes, but looks great and I’m definitely looking forward to fighting it ;)
More are available in the Dark Resurrection screenshot thread, and you can keep up to date with his progress in the update thread.
Forum member fonzie has recently posted a topic about TavernRPG, an RPG that’s in development for the Sega Megadrive. It’s looking very impressive already, and from the sounds of things they’re quite close to having the core game completed.
Due to the size of the project (and it sounds huge), they’re looking for pixel artists to help create the finished article.
As fonzie put it:
We need help around sprites (monsters, NPC’s) and backgrounds to finish and make the most exciting 16bit RPG ever :D haha!
If you’re a maniac pixel pusher and want to support us, CONTACT ME!!! ^^
You can find out more information about the project, including more screenshots and a sample of the music, in this interview at sega-16. If you’d like to help with the project, you can leave a reply in the forum or contact fonzie via private messages.
I just found out about the site freesound. It has many sound effects distributed under a creative commons license. I’ll probably be using some of these in my game, since I don’t think I’ll be able to create the sounds myself.
I’ve just about finished the sprite sheet for the hero character. Here’s part of it below. I’m still working the creating the first village, then I’ll be back into coding. I’ve got to create the collision detection for the hero and all the new buildings in the town next.
Things seem to be going a bit slow with my project right now because I’m working on two things at once. The ‘young swordsman’ character, and the first village. Neither are quite done yet, but I’d thought I’d post some images of the works in-progress. The young swordsman character will be one of the two main characters you can choose between in the game, and the only main character available for the first demo, which I’ve decided will be a tutorial style demo. So that way I don’t have to worry about the story yet :)
