Tamfor (WIP)

[Oste]

Hello!

This is my first attempt of making a game and I'm glad that it's gonna be a NES game!

Tamfor is going to be Zelda 1 -like action/adventure with 5 worlds with 2 stages each. Here's some screenshots from the "Jungle" world with interior and exterior parts and some spritework too. HUD isn't working, it's just a mockup for the real HUD. Life and mana will be indicated by numbers instead of hearts/meters, the sword icon shows your current melee skill and wand your current magic skill.

You can storm right into the fifth world and complete the game without clearing the other four worlds first, but it will be difficult. Fifth world is swarming with monsters and most of them are vulnerable to different melee and magic skills you obtain from the other four worlds.

Worlds can be played in any order. First world you enter will be difficulty level 1, second world level 3, 3rd level 5, 4th level 7 and fifth world will always be level 9. Gotta make out how to implement some level upgrades to the player.

Well, that's a start! Progress is slow due lack of time, but better later than never!

(edit. these are just test screens, not from the actual game)

Found a really great tileset and sprite artists on Fiverr. I can't draw at all, luckily there are ways to bring your vision to life

Cool, btw i would suggest that you make your character skin a brighter collor as it will make the effect on the hair work beeter, as it is supposed to be Like the sun shining back off it

Looks great so far, and I like the concept of increasing difficulty independent of which world you enter! I'll be watching this thread to see how the game develops.

Eventually yes. First I'm making all the gameplay mechanics working on the jungle world, release a demo and then moving to other worlds/special screens etc. This is my plan so far

Long time no see!

This project has been on hiatus for a while, but it's slowly coming back to life. I'll post a few screens so you can see what's going, I must get the player mechanics working before I release some kind of demo

Also the game has changed so much over time, that I'm planning to make another thread for this game when the time is right!
