Heroic by Christian Koch

made by Christian Koch for LD 40 (JAM)

Windows: https://gamejolt.com/games/Heroic2D/301520

This game is about a man and his simple dream to rule a kingdom. Why? Well, it is not because he would be a great king or has any quality, really. So that is all you need to know, I guess. Have fun playing it. There is not much audio yet, I am really sorry for that. This version is not really finished, also sorry for that, but my time went out and I really wanted to still publish it. Enjoy :)

PS. I opt-out of graphics because parts of the background art are from ipc.opengameart.org. But dont think all of it is. My artist (Legion) has done a great job ;)

Known Issues: -Sometimes the hitboxplacement is a bit off. -It seems like enemies are just attackable from the side, which shouldnt be happening :/

Tools used (on my end):

Unity

Gimp

bfxr

My partner Legion (I miswrote his name in the credits, Version 0.1.1 has it right (both were submitted before the Jam ended!))

The game is okay, but it is really unpolished. I would have preferred less content, and a more polished game. But the graphics and the idea was fine.

Hello jk5000,
Thanks for the feedback and I totally agree. I was thinking about not publishing it, because the polish was pretty bad. Both I and my artist had hard time constraints, but we still tried to keep our goal of making a simple RPG. Next time the idea will be a bit more simple, that should do the trick :D

As I started my adventure as "Hans Uwe der Dritte von Westfirst Wisleminster Shadwood Castle, dritter Graf von Yorkshire Forest Woodenlakister" (haha, love the name), I went out and punched the first man I saw, figured he might be pissed so I ran away. After a bit of exploring i figured I'd lvl up a bit before I continued on my journey, so I brawled with some bats until I got lvl 4. From there on I went and messed with everything in my way. As my journey came to an end I figured this kingdom was my to rule as no one could beat me in my strength :) (ended at lvl 16)

Glad you decided to finish and publish the game, even tho if you're not satisfied with the finished state I bet you'll learn something that you can bring with you the next time.

Humorous and with nice artwork, Good job!

Thanks Kolbjorn,
That really means a lot to me. I was nearly screaming out of anger, because the game wasnt finished, but reading your comment calmed me down. Thank you :)

I must say, I didn't really understand how to fight. I pressed E to attack the bats, but nothing seemes to happen.
I second Kolbjorn. Publishing an unfinished game is much better than not to do so.
This way at least you will get some feedback. So congratulations for pulling through. I know even that can be pretty hard sometimes.
