Hi guys! I wanted to share a game with you guys that I’ve been working on. While I’m aiming to make it cross-platform, a bulk of the work (including the editor) has been done in HTML5. The game I’m working on is called “Be the Guy!”, and it’s essentially a parody (in some aspects) of A Link to the Past. Instead of a sword, you’ll have a baseball bat. Instead of a shield, you’ll have a trash can lid. It’s not Princess Zelda that needs saving, it’s just Princess. See where this is going? I plan on posting a link to a demo fairly soon, and I go into more detail in my dev log, but I just wanted to share this project with you all. Talk to you all again soon IMG_6746.MOV

Hello, This is my first post on the HTML5 Game Devs Forum and I'm here thanks to the precious advices of Richard to show you a game we are developing with my team for 2 years. It is called Jiun, a free-to-play MOBA (or ARTS as you wish) game in pixel art scheduled to be released by the end of March 2014. It addresses to a wide range of public. 1) Sum-up of the Gameplay Here two the main concepts: - No magic skills casted by the character, only items you use. For example: You can have two actives weapons equiped, one in the left hand and the other one in the right hand. You are able to use these weapons with two keys (K and L by default) when cooldown is ok. For example you can equipe two swords or a sword and a shield. - No auto-attack such most of MOBA/MMORPG, it is more like an hack'n slash, in a retro atmosphere. For our first beta release, scheduled by the end of March 2014, we planned to implement 5vs5 mode where your goal will be to reduce opponent team reinforcements to 0. Games will last at least 15 minutes. Using a bow is similar to using melee weapons. Bows are dual-handed weapons, and are used with the left hand key (L by default). To shoot an arrow the character has to aim at the target and therefore remains stationary during the attack animation. Position yourself carefully, as you're open to both melee and ranged weapon fire. There is no automatic attack in Jiun like in traditional MOBAs, so you have to be skilled and time your shots or face defeat. Quick reactions are also crucial to moving away from the path of incoming arrows. To save yourself from enemy volleys, consider carrying a shield: it provides both a 30% passive chance to block incoming arrow damage, and can be used to block them if timed well. Stay tuned for the next video: the quickslots. Latest Version (here french version) 2) Sum-up of the of the development's chronology of Jiun Initially aimed to be a MMORPG, we worked on Jiun very hard, which was coded in java, but we realize few months ago that this wasn't the best way to follow for an independant game studio after we tried a crowdfunding campaign. The resources were lacking. The time also. As Jiun wasn't my first online game experience (I made an online MMO called Kingdom of War PSP) we decided to move quickly to another platform before being overwhelmed by labor and obscolescence of the Java applet platform. Moreover we experiment a lot of Java applet warnings. Phaser JS was the best way to achieve our goal. This choice was made few months ago and here we are. 3) Music sample Extract of Jiun Main Theme 4) Sign up to the beta, follow us and spread the word!
