Bravehorse


The Pony Princess has been captured by horrible monsters. You are the only horse brave enough to enter their territory alone and face them head on, in an attempt to rescue her.

The Six Demo
Ok I haven't updated the journal in a long time, mainly because I'm not working on the RPG project anymore. My artist wasn't able to make graphics for the game anymore so I decided to work on something else.

The Six is a platfromer that you play as the number six inside a computer program who broke …

Mushroom Man
New enemy added in, the mushroom man. It's a spider like creature with a mushroom on its head. He walks around peacefully, unless you get too close to him. He attacks with his poisonous spores that come out of his mushroom head. The spore attack uses my new particle system (there is only one color …

Another Artist
Added in some particle stuff like blood and rain. I've been trying to work on the game a lot, but it is really hard without graphics, and Nizzate has been way too busy to draw any. So we decided that we are going to get another artist to help us out. So if you are interested in doing some graphics …

One Month?

Birds fly over you during the game now, isn't that awesome?

Also, Porky Pig makes his first appearance in the game. I made the quest system and I needed an NPC to talk to for quests, and since I already hadd the pig…

Slow Progress
Progress is going very slow at the moment. I've been trying to work on it when I have time but haven't got a lot done. I'm currently working on the quest system. I also added in the character message window:



Here is another picture of the inventory system, with a background that's not as stupid look…

About everything is done with the inventory menu and character page. Equipping is about done and i'm working on special attacks at the mo…

Mockup
I've got the basics of the combat system complete: Hitting and recieving damage. Still a lot more to add on.

Here is a mockup Nizzate made, even though most of this is already in the game.

Level Editor
I haven't been able to work on the game too much lately, but I've got most of the level editor done.



This is just a background I threw together quick for a screen shot. The multiple ferns and pigs are just placeholders for now untill I have more to add. I also think the grass color and some of the o…

No real visible improvements on the coding, although I got a lot of the core done. I should be able to start the level maker soon. I was going to start the combat s…

Steve Orkel
Finally finished the map system, it took a few days longer than expected but it's done(hopefully for good). The next thing on the list is the fighting system, which should be fun. Nizzate is almost finished with the first walking animations for one of the orcs.

We have decided on a name for our game…
