The Curse of The Pharoah (WIP)

[crazylegsjones]

My first level of the game. Not bad for a newbie. Still having issues with tile types not loading properly, and a few animations not working properly, but will get fixed as I learn more. Still a LONG ways from being done as a whole. Lots more to learn! Using this thread as a dev update on the games progress, without hopefully giving away too many secrets, lol!

Good level

Love the Ancient Egypt motif and the color harmony in your sprites. The papyrus plants are a nice detail, too. And like Kid Icarus or Metroid, the black background doesn't feel empty, it just works.

Beautiful, I hope one day that i can reach your level of skill

If anyone is interested, I threw up a demo in the Retroverse if you want to try it out. Still many bugs to work out, but just looking for some feedback, and maybe some cool ideas i could incorporate to make this even better!

Curse Of The Pharaoh

Someone has broken into the tombs, unleashing the Curse of the Pharoah. Join the new Pharaoh on his quest throughout Upper and Lower Egypt, battling wildlife and unexpected things in order to get to the tombs and seal them back up.

Working on some more levels that will incorporate daytime scenes.

I played the demo and it looks like it's coming along well! I hope you don't think I'm a jerk if I did a little unsolicited design remix on your hero. Feel free to use it if you like—and if you're not offended.

The sandals are a nice touch. I might steal that. More fitting for the time period/style.

Sandals are the preferred footwear for running, jumping, climbing, and dealing with venomous snakes.

Adding in map transition levels and secondary maps for each city which = more levels to play. Also playing around with the daytime theme a bit for some more flavor on a few levels.
