Preece Posted August 9, 2015 Share Posted August 9, 2015 Frauki's Adventurepreecedev.tumblr.com Demo (Playable in browser) Frauki's Adventure is a melee combat platformer where you explore down to the mysterious center of the world. The whole world is one big map where you unlock shortcuts, discover secrets, and fight tricky baddies. Inspired by Dark Souls and Mega Man X. Controls: Ideally, use a gamepad! if you dont have one,Arrow Keys - moveSpace - JumpZ - AttackX - Roll I've been working on the project for about a year in my spare time. I worked with a pixel artist for a while, but he had to move on. You can see his awesome animations in the game. I am looking for another pixel artist to help me bring this game to the finish. I'm not sure if i'm going to sell it or just give it out for free. PM or email me if you're interested. I'll be posting occasional updates here, along with some footage and images. Thanks for reading! sombriks and drhayes 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gaelbeltran Posted August 22, 2015 Share Posted August 22, 2015 The graphics are gorgeous Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phantomas Posted August 24, 2015 Share Posted August 24, 2015 The game is amazing. The graphics and the movements are a really nice job. I only have one suggestion, the camera movements are a lilttle bit fast and I get dizzy sometimes. But anyway, it´s a very good work.

Preece Posted August 25, 2015 Author Share Posted August 25, 2015 Over the last couple of weeks, I have been working a lot on the combat. The game now slows down when you land a hit (or get hit), to help emphasize and clarify what's going on. I've also added and refined a lot of effects that make it more interesting. For instance, when you clash swords with an enemy, the sparks that come out now look a lot better, and when you attack there are cool little energy particles that trail off your sword. I have changed the energy system somewhat. There is now a second little energy bar that will fill up as you fight, and you can spend this energy on special attacks. Previously JctWood asked about weapon switching, and this special energy is what they will use. So, you will always have your normal energy sword, but you can swap out secondary weapons that give you more options. I have a lot of ideas for what these could be, but ultimately I would like to reduce it to maybe 3-5 ones that are really cool. In the process of finding those I will be trying out lots of different stuff though ;D Sorry that the gif is poor quality. I'm trying to find a way to get something that looks crisp and smooth, and that isn't a huge file either. Loved the gameplay!

I'm still trying to find the perfect balance of movement with the camera, I'll keep tweaking it, thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrunoHautenfaust Posted August 25, 2015 Share Posted August 25, 2015 Wow! This game looks great! I love 2D pixel platform games with 8-bit audio.Only one thing - sometimes, when you get hit, the camera jiggles to one side. Was that intended?

Preece Posted September 22, 2015 Author Share Posted September 22, 2015 Been working on secondary weapons recently. These use the special orange energy you get from fighting enemies. Here is a buzz saw that works like a roll, but also tears through enemies really well And here is a projectile. It doesn't do damage, but it's good at stunning enemies to give you an attack opening!

Preece Posted December 7, 2015 Author Share Posted December 7, 2015 A few more goodies. You can now kind of examine stuff in the world and see what Frauki has to say about it: Plus some other little fun things: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gusatheyoung Posted January 13, 2016 Share Posted January 13, 2016 it looks like Prince of Persia! one of my favorite videogames ! really good! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
staff0rd Posted January 15, 2016 Share Posted January 15, 2016 After I spawn, I can go into the first door immediately visible, then jump into the dirt to the left, turn and double jump onto the roof. Then keep going right and you can jump into the walls. Here I am stuck at in a column, I had to hit attack otherwise you can't see the character. Edit: In fact, that seems all I can do - the first room is walled with a purple key blocking one way, and going through the door is just another room walled except for the entry into the dirt/walled area. Perhaps the build is broken at the moment? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marcgfx Posted January 15, 2016 Share Posted January 15, 2016 same here, I could only run around within the walls. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Preece Posted January 15, 2016 Author Share Posted January 15, 2016 Hey guys, sorry about that. I am working on a new intro area, so it's really incomplete when you start! I've removed the purple door so that you can now go into the level. Thanks for trying it out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
staff0rd Posted January 16, 2016 Share Posted January 16, 2016 This looks like it has bucketloads of potential, I'm looking forward to further development. What are the little white sparkly things around some objects - are you supposed to be able to interact with them? Really nice style, well done thus far.
