I’ve decided to clone Lost Vikings. The title of my game is Beasties.<\/p>\n

The three protagonists are:<\/p>\n

Krull – An Orc who has a shield and a claymore<\/p>\n

Penelope – A Centauress who can run fast and jump and has a crossbow and dagger<\/p>\n

Eric – A Dwarf who can move heavy things and has an axe<\/p>\n

A few notes:<\/p>\n

Krull’s shield protects from everything that hits it. It is made of “Orcish steel” that can deflect anything. Simple at that. And his sword has about 1.5x the reach of Eric’s axe.<\/p>\n

Penelope has unlimited bolts for her crossbow, since ammo management isn’t part of the game. It takes about as long to fire as it takes one of the boys to swing their respectice weapons. Her dagger has about half the reach of Eric’s axe. When not running, she moves about 1.5x as fast as Krull, but when running, she moves three times his speed. She can jump about half the screen high and a full screen long.<\/p>\n

Eric can lift heavy objects, break fragile terrain, and force heavy mechanisms. He moves at about 75% of the speed that Krull moves at.<\/p>\n

I have yet to decide on a story for this thing, though, so stay tuned!<\/p>","time":"January 22nd, 2010 7:14 pm","title":"Beasties"}
