Dragon Island by zdanielz

[raw]
made by zdanielz for LD20 (COMPO)
Hi All,
This is my LD20 submission - I hope you enjoy it!

It's DANGEROUS to go ALONE to DRAGON ISLAND, take this MAGIC LIGHT THING with you, it will protect you!

Use arrows to move, space to attack and Z to unleash magic light upon enemies.

Windows only, I'm afraid.

Made in C++ - using clanlib.
Graphics in GraphicsGale, Paint.NET and Inkscape.
Maps with Tiled map editor.
Music and Sounds with Fruityloops, a few soundfonts and sfxr.

Hope you enjoy this!!

Daniel

Edit: updated the screenshot and title text of the window, nothing else.

Nice music and pretty nice graphics. The game is a bit ridden with bugs, though. At one point my sword attack didn't work anymore, and I was still moving with 0 health. The light orb thing is neat-looking but the mechanic it provides needs work; it's hard to predict, not very strong nor gives any strategy. Nice try, I hope you do a post-compo version!

Loving the premise, the music, the sprites!!
There's a fantastic feel to the visual setup here - a great and foreboding atmosphere.
Ending screen was funny.
Gameplay needs work!

The game does have a very nice atmosphere, but I agree that the gameplay needs some work - nice effort though!

Btw, had a crash issue on Windows XP - had to set the executable to Windows 98 compatibility to be able to play.

Nice graphics!

The combat systems was a bit difficult to understand.

Good job on submitting!

Thanks everyone for the comments!
I agree the game play needs plenty of work - it is a bit buggy and unstable... I still haven't got that part right in my games.

Glad you liked it in any case! :)

Apparently I don't have sufficient hardware to run this. Says it requires OpenGL 1.3, and this machine can only support 1.1.0 or somesuch. I'll see if I can run it on something else later.

This was fun. Although I think the combat doesn't work.

Great atmosphere, but it feels unfinished. In the beginning I tried to kill all monsters but notices it's futile. There's no way to regain health.

And the exit sign says "Next" ;)
