Topic: Castlevania style game from overhead perspective

Not bad animation at all. The artwork looks amazing indeed. The trick is that the game matches the art style, if you can hit that mark then you probably got a real gem on your hands. What is the game being made in?

@ Gunlord Thank you!

@ Neobelmont thanks, it was Christian Quinot as our concept artist.

The art ingame is about as close as we could ever get it to run on mobile devices and PC, its built in Unity3D. Thank you very much.

Also doing a short graphic novel for each of the three main characters before the game comes out. This pic is from Norroth's in the first post. Heres a sneak peek, art by John Jackson(so lucky to have this guy!)

Ahhhh..there we go a Maya Screen Shot and your using Unity. Who's doing your modeling anyways? You should really post rendered pics with a 360 turnaround. Would like to see what the Wolfie looks like from all sides and maybe a wireframe. Off first glance it looks nice though.

Ever since I saw what Unity did for Dead Frontier I had tons of respect for it. And looking at a game like this it adds tons more.

The 3d artists name is Ben Daughtery, and he's done virtually every piece of 3D for us and we're proud to have him.  http://incisiveartistry.blogspot.com/

Pretty cool! Make sure he adds those other maps i.e. spec, normals, etc. and your game is going to pop! Noticed the props he did too on his site with Zbrush. Can't wait to see how your environments and level designs turn out. Be sure to check out my website as well. I am a sucker for this kind of work! lol

Lycan looks amazing.

Thanks Kable and Darkmanx!

Update*

Things are going well, we've been adding new enemy types, honing gameplay and AI over the last few weeks. Things are looking good. We're added in some sounds fx recently to the combat and that helped tremendously!

We'll be sending out some testplayers through unity in a bit, basically a webplayer version of a demo to play. If anyone is interested, like and or share us(both will increase chances lol) on facebook and link me to it in a PM and I'll gather them. Heres our facebook:

Based on the storyline here, and the possible interconnection to modern mythology, is it possible that Dracula could make an appearance as an ally/boss?

The Brood are a hive mind correct? Depending on how it is structured, Dracula could either seek to try and help you destroy the Brood, or attempt to enslave The Brood for his own purposes.

You mentioned potentially making it more like Castlevania, and including Greek Mythology. Lycaon is an ancient Greek figure that tested Zeus by feeding him his own son, to see if Zeus was truly omniscient. When Zeus realized this, he turned Lycaon into a wolf, and murdered his children. You could include Lycaon as an antagonist.

I would mention including such monsters as Medusa, but she is lacking in the werewolf/vampire comparative department.

I hope I have given you guy some ideas. The game is looking really cool!

[Ofthenight]

Good ideas for sure. I always thought about having Dracula tie into our games somehow, but overall the idea was to have a fresh take on vampires and their elders. It's still not out of the question though. 


Heres some more screenshots btw.  This is our version of "health packs"

That menu looks very nice

[Ofthenight]

Thanks kaonstantine, heres another look at in it in action along with some other features, mind you many of the elements aren't 100%, much the code is working, but the animations need tweaking.

We would like some community feedback to help us along the development process. As of now we have fixed the health bar in the vid were its more visible.
