IROG'S PROFILE

Based on you feedback, I've uploaded a new download file for my game. Thanks for all your comments !

Sooz is right: you don't need to learn to art. You can draw some basic placeholder graphics, use another helmet or find one at https://opengameart.org/

The key here is to find a solution (even a temporary one) and get back to the fun of building your game.

I don't have any art skills and I know it would take me a lot of time to master just the basics. Artists work a lot of time to make art and dedicate an enormous amount to time to get good at it. So I prefer to focus my time on the others aspects of game making (mainly programming).

Thanks for your feedback Deckiller !

I tried to build a combat system where you need to accurately time your attack to avoid damage. The recovery time after a gladius swing is apparently too short. The enemy movement code needs improvement too.

You probably killed a few more than 81 enemies. This version of the game has a bug: it displays the number of corpses and forgets to count the enemies showing a dying animation.




Thank you for playing my game Coelocanth !

Indeed, the enemy pathfinding needs to improve. This game is my first time building a melee combat system and I learned a lot from the experience.

Can we map in Tiled and provide a bare-bones engine to move a character around the map?
The judges could evaluate the map but apply the 10 points playability penalty for non-RM engine.

My game is up !
