Lachsen Posted July 8, 2013 Share Posted July 8, 2013 Hi there! I just recently found this forum, so I thought we should share our game here as well. CrossCode is an Sci-fi Action RPG about throwing energy balls at everything. We have been working on this game for quite some time now. Currently we can only offer a tech demo that shows basic gameplay mechanics, still lacking RPG aspects / story. You can play the TechDemo++ here: http://cross-code.com Note: The game is optimized for desktop/laptop with Keyboard/Mouse or Gamepad (Chrome only). The game does NOT run on mobile devices at this point. Some screenshots Technology: This game is based on a highly modified impact.js engine. We still use Canvas2D internally, but did some heavy modifications in the physics and rendering to have this top down view with a simplified 3D collision. If you are further interested in the game, we have a blog: http://www.radicalfishgames.com Here we give regular updates about the games progress and sometimes also some technical post where we talk about how we implemented stuff. Also, we have a YouTube channel with a couple of videos of more recent features (not release yet): http://www.youtube.com/user/RadicalFishGames/videos Also we are present in some social networks and always happy for attention Facebook Twitter And that's all for now. We hope you like the game! We're happy for any feedback!

Chris Posted July 8, 2013 Share Posted July 8, 2013 I just played through your tech demo and must admit: this is already one of the most advanced HTML5 games out there - in both graphic, sound and gameplay. I don't know how it will turn out if you add the RPG elements; right now playing the tech demo feels very much alike the great game "Portal" from Valve, without actually stealing any of their concept! The environment and puzzle action alone already gives it a very nice touch and builds up a cool atmosphere.Really: If you make a game out of this tech demo where you actually just have to puzzle your way through the environment like in Portal, this would be a very cool game. It also has great potential for a multiplayer mode where every player has a different color, may only turn switches of his own color and need to work together to solve the puzzles. However you progress from your current state, I will watch your outcome with great interest greetings from Frankfurt,Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

joannesalfa Posted July 16, 2013 Share Posted July 16, 2013 Hey Radical Fish team, How long have you developed a prototype? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul-Andre Posted July 16, 2013 Share Posted July 16, 2013 Omg, everything is so perfect, beautiful and well calibrated. I especially like the aiming-shooting mechanic. It is particularly well calibrated. Is the full version going to be free to play? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lachsen Posted July 17, 2013 Author Share Posted July 17, 2013 Hi there! Thanks for all the nice feedback. @joannesalfa It took us about one year for the first TechDemo + about 3 month for the TechDemo++. That's a lot of time, yeah. I guess it explains all the polishing and stuff. But it's also because we did not simply use impact.js but also modified the engine. A lot. @Paul-Andre: As this game will be a single player experience, it's hard to apply a free-to-play business model. We'll got for a rather traditional "pay for the full game" model. There will be a free demo, most likely. Bye Felix Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RadicalDude Posted September 1, 2013 Share Posted September 1, 2013 Weekly Update #30 incoming! Check it out: Link We worked on the cargo ship (The outer area, yes you have been in a cargo ship the whole time!). There are a lot of new details. The same goes for the menu. However we had to rewrite some of the code to make things work more flexible (We do that a lot, because we like it ). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AhmedElyamani Posted September 1, 2013 Share Posted September 1, 2013 This is really remarkable, Great game , great graphics , smooth bouncing , It's perfect, but it needs a few more hundred levels , please Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RadicalDude Posted September 1, 2013 Share Posted September 1, 2013 Hey there Do you refer to the number of maps? CrossCode is a RPG so it will have lots of maps. The TechDemo just shows some of the basic gameplay. We're currently working on a demo with story and more complex gameplay.
