Quasar Quasar Posted December 21, 2010 Share Posted December 21, 2010 Hi guys, I was digging through my old external hdd, and found an old project of mine. I was a struggling CS major, so for one summer (about 1.5 years ago), I started trying to brush up on my cs skills, and tried to program some sort of video game, since that was the only thing that could hold my attention. I made one simple shoot em up, and then immediately decided to try making a copy of fire emblem since I was a big fan. The result is what you see here: IT's ONLY ONE LEVEL. Since I was taking a stab at copying Fire Emblem, I took some liberties. Some Notes: - I didn't like how people took hits without any reaction, or how they just faded into non-existence. And since I'm a huge fan of Berserk (manga/anime) I decided to try and add some of those "elements" - Enemies dying, will change the terrain. Bodies will pile higher and higher! - There's a bug in the math and equations somewhere. Never did de-bugged that part. Don't be surprised if your attacks miss more often than anticipated, despite high accuracy. I'm sure there's some more weird fumbling with the numbers some where. - The graphics are traced (rather cruddily I will add). Sprites used are Leila and Sain (from FE7). As was the background (but altered), as were the brigand sprites) - Lots of things aren't done yet. Like trading for example. - due to insufficient coding skills, you can only navigate with the mouse, and menus are a pain to navigate around. But hey. - Music is from the Wild Arms OST, as well as 2 newgrounds artist. I forget their names, but it's listed in the credits if you beat the boss. WARNING: If you don't approve of excessive blood/violence, don't click! PLAY HERE Helping Note: If you're having difficulty, you can climb the wall by going to the left, and climbing the pile of bodies. From there, you can fight less people, and sneak to the boss via the alley. Character likeness = copyright Nintendo. It's a fan game, please don't sue. Looking Back: - Ughh. No wonder I hid this away. Artwise and Codewise it's bad. Dialogue is laughableh. Underneath, it's really messily designed. Stuff's just tacked on here and there, as I realized I needed to implement so and so. But, it was a valuable learning experience. Yup... anyway, hope you guys can get some enjoyment out of it. Merry Xmas! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frosty Posted December 21, 2010 Share Posted December 21, 2010 I kinda like it... I'm also an animator-in-the-making, but I'm still a crappy noob.... Even though it's one level, still is okay-ish... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zkirsche Posted December 21, 2010 Share Posted December 21, 2010 (edited) I just missed with a 104% chance to hit O_o, still, it's very good and well made, though very, very hard. Edited December 21, 2010 by Kevin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whase Posted December 21, 2010 Share Posted December 21, 2010 you have died.... ouch, defeated all enemies except boss, who only had 19 HP left when he killed Merc and only 3 more HP to go when he killed that girl (is it a girl? looks like it).

shadowofchaos Posted December 21, 2010 Share Posted December 21, 2010 It was pretty enjoyable :D Don't put yourself down so much. Must have taken at LEAST a bit of time coding and making the graphics, despite its simplicity. I like it :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thor Odinson Posted December 21, 2010 Share Posted December 21, 2010 Well, Merc died. Damn he gets doubled. But at least I beat it. Yay~ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fei Mao Posted December 22, 2010 Share Posted December 22, 2010 I enjoyed this game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mercakete Posted December 22, 2010 Share Posted December 22, 2010 Made it to the boss and, well, died. got him down to 40 some-odd HP, though. I didn't know devils' axes were ranged. o_O Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blitz Posted December 22, 2010 Share Posted December 22, 2010 It was fun and easy but if the overpowered black blade was removed it will be an extremely hard game. Thanks for making and posting it .(needs a lot more work though) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Parrhesia Posted December 22, 2010 Share Posted December 22, 2010 (edited) Went straight north, lured the bastard onto a corpse pile and shot arrows through him until he stopped moving. I only had two or three vulneraries between the pair by the end. Good game, I feel. You should revamp this someday~ Edited December 22, 2010 by Grimsworth of Natal Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flashpoint_1230 Posted December 31, 2010 Share Posted December 31, 2010 This was a great game! It reminds me of a game I'd see on Kongregate. Very enjoyable. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
