[raw]
made by Endurion for LD20 (COMPO)
The This Quest
==============

This game is an entry for the 48 Hour Game Development Competition #20 Ludum Dare (http://www.ludumdare.com).
It requires Windows 95/98/ME/2000/XP and DirectX 8. A sound card is highly recommended for high class
white noise sound effects.
You start this at your own risk. I take no responsibilities whatsoever if something happens to your PC.

The given theme:
----------------
It's dangerous to go alone. Take this!


The Gameplay:
-------------
It's a rather unoriginal Zelda clone. Fetch items, battle monsters and find out how to use your new weapons.
Once you have all you need head for the almost hidden exit (on the west side).

Control by cursor keys, Z/Y to toggle weapons, control to use a weapon (once acquired).


The Sourcecode:
---------------
The full sourcecode plus a VS 2008 solution is included, so you can basically change the game as much as you want to.
If you do so then please be fair and

A) keep mentioning where you found the sourcecode and include a link to my homepage and
B) notify me if you intend to release a modified version.

The code itself isn't very clean and includes some ugly hacks, but that's the sake of time schedules.

Press Alt-Enter to toggle window/fullscreen mode

You might want to include the download in one of the input fields, it's hard to find it otherwise :)

I think it fits perfectly the theme (logical :p ) and is quite fun to play, if not very original !

The included level editor was pretty neat. And I was glad I could cut the grass.

Great work on submitting!

Nice job! A map would have been really really useful. I kept getting lost, but it was pretty fun. The hit detection didn't feel right, and the sounds were kind of annoying to tell the truth (also, no sound-disabling option).

I was happy with the ending. I couldn't understand what the chests were for. Is there a way to open them or something? You get extra points in the community section for the level editor. Like you said, it was pretty unoriginal. The graphics aren't too bad.

I wanted to have the chests in from the start. However I didn't make much clear. You need to hit them with the axe five times, they contain hearts and coins.

It was really fun, and well made.
The graphics were simple and sound was nice.

What are the coins for?

It reminded me of a similar game on the Sega Master System called Golden Axe Warrior. (an old zelda clone)

Alas, the coins don't do anything. I wanted to have a shop of your own (as shown in the ending) but never got around to implement it.
Note: Having a family and two childs does not leave that much time to code ;)

COOL LEVEL EDITOR! That's always a nice plus.

It was fun, but without having a well defined goal and/or story (which is what attracts me most to zelda type games) it didn't keep my interest for too long, especially since I died a lot and had to start over.
