Hello again, I’m AdventureIslands, and this is my 3rd time joining Ludum Dare! My previous entries were Tiny Island Adventure, and Tiny Evolution Adventure. As much as I would have wanted to keep using the Tiny Something Adventure naming, it wouldn’t have really fit this Ludum Dare game I am making. The story of Mad Princess goes like this:

“There is a story of a beautiful princess trapped in the castle of a horrible demon. Many brave warriors have fallen trying to face the dangerous traps of the castle to save the princess…

The truth, however, is much more darker: The master of the castle is no one but the princess herself! She uses terrible dark magic to set traps for the hapless heroes who invade the castle, and then uses their blood to create more deadly traps for new heroes who dare to set their foot in the castle!”

Mad Princess is a tower defence type of game. You control the princess, who uses blood as currency, to set up different traps from spiky floors to crossbow sentries to kill the invading heroes! The heroes travel in sideway 2D view in the halls of the castle, trying to reach the princess. If that happens, she is forcefully “saved” and probably married, or worse, taken to some mental care institution!

I have finished most of the graphics by now, and I will start to build the actual game soon. This is an interesting and challenging project. Because I am using Stencyl once again, and I have never used it to make a tower defence style game before. But I am fairly sure I know what to do, so stay tuned!
