Superstar Knight by Seththefirst

[raw]
made by Seththefirst for LD 40 (JAM)

Description

_ "This is compo game, being submitted to jam, because of the time. I've created everything from scratch." _

A game where you are the knight of a small city. The city never had a knight before, and soon or later, you will start to became famous. And with fame, come fans.

  • Can you, be the most well known Knight in the whole kingdom ?
  • Give a visit to the mayor, to ask him how to help the city.
  • Use you special powers:
    • Scream to the fans, so they go home for while, and let you do your job.
    • Shield, so you can give some protection to the fans, and protect them from the enemies.
    • Potion, well, this one is self explanatory. Use it, or you will die. :grinning:
  • Be careful to do not hit your fans.
  • Upgrade your gear, to be even stronger.

* Keys * - WASD - Movement - J/K/L - Actions - Space - Attack

Comments

This is the first game where I feel completely happy with. I really like the graphics, the style, the gameplay, sound and music. Of course, as always I was not able to submit it to Compo. I had a lot of things taking away my time, during this LD. But was okay.

Tools Used

  • Unity
  • Voxel to Unity - plugin
  • Pyxel
  • MagicVoxel
  • BFXR

Patching Notes

  • v1.1
    • Fixed an unhandled exception happening every time you've used the scream ability close to the city.
    • Updated the UI with the scale factor, so people which are playing in fullscreen can read it better.
    • Changed the tilling of the floor texture, cause was really bad in Fullscreen.

I've been streaming the first 48 hours of development on Twitch. I had to drop it, cause my computer was getting fried.

Nice stuff! I would have liked it if i could swing my sword and run at the same time. Got a bit confused in the dance of combat with the banits.

Cool game! It takes a while to get the pace going. Also the music is a little distracting. Loved the graphics.

Love the voxel aesthetic. Music and mechanic is perfect. I sometimes would've prefered the mission to be closer but one of the games I've liked the most this ludum dare. Congrats!

Your approach of the theme is very fun ! The game seems really polished for a game jam (audio, feedbacks, quests marker & market)...

Enjoyed the feeling quite a lot, sometimes there is one error exception and the game stops running

@seththefirst not sure, before i posted it it crashed twice one while doing the first quest, another after delivering it, i had the feeling that it was something to do with [K] but not sure, tried to reproduce again but no luck :/

I like the style! It has a great look and feel. The first time I tried to play it crashed for me almost immediately - as soon as the game started I pressed J and it popped up with an exception and froze.

This game has a nice feel. When you start you feel like you are starting a long adventure. I could see this growing to have a nice progression.

The fans bothered me and I killed them all so I kind of missed the point there. Interesting take on the theme though and I may come back to try building an army of crazy kids.

I've added a new version, with the bug fix and minor visual improvements for full screen.
If you want to take a look into it once again... =)

That was HILARIOUS.
"do you have facebook" "Lava lamps 10$"
Really really clever. i got a very good laugh. Definitely fits the theme.
Unfortunately i found i had lag (might have just been my computer). I also didn't like how slow i moved and how long it took to get anywhere.
Other than these things it was really really good. thank you for making it! :D

I like the graphics, and even the way it moves jumping, it's fun. I didn't understand what I had to do. When I finally found enemies to kill I got lost and could never get back to the town, lol. Anyway, it was fun.

@notpresident35
once you start to get famous, Fans will start to follow you... And the more famous you're the more fans you will have... and thats when the things starts to get complicated....

@xacur
I initial mission was missing, to indicate you that you have to talk to the mayor.
And a better compass is also missing... :P
And a lot of people complaint about the size of the map...
I had plans to add more stuff around the map... but the time was not enough... =/

But thx for playing

Really funny, the text bits of the fans are nice. One thing though: it seems like you are moving slower sideways than up/down, that is somewhat off-putting. Good Job.
