Announcement of the development of a new game
🕑 Added 2017-03-31 02:01:17 +0000 UTC We started to develop new game!Maybe someone remember that we trying to create game about thief girl 2 years ago, but all our team was dissapear, so this project was been freezed, and now we started totally reworking of all things in the game, because now I was not alone and my new team is not assholes, unlike the previous team ))
We already improve scenario and storyline
And I totally rework game map, you can look it here: MAP
Also the game now has a name, as you could see in the post picture it name is "Lorain"
Game named by name of main character - Lorain (Lora), she is a thief girl :) But not ordinary thief, she hunting for combined together tech and magic stuff, in her world was not allowed to combine technologies with magic, by some reasons, but she don't believe in this stories and still create cool inventions to collect more magic stuff and combine it with technologies in her workshop, and this is story about day when she will know why combining magic with tech is a taboo.
We spent really many time to rework Lora design :) You can watch our progress HERE
And we created a design for 20! Monsters instead of 7 as it was originally planned, HERE is they designs, they a protectors of this temple, here was only 2 monsters from previous concepts, anchient eye and coatle.
This game will be a platformer action-rpg, you will collect magic crystals and improve your items by they power. And this game will be created not on flash, we want to create it on Unity, and we want to use new software to animate all this stuff :3 How I say this game we will create like a team, so I can use better and more difficult animation software like AE and Spine to make amazing animations :3
Guys, sorry that I spent much time on starting this new project, but my team could not start until I did something for the start, so I should was create this, guide my team about what they should do, I was spent half of month on this ((
Now they will start to create Lorain, and I will finish the Tower :) don't worry I will finish it in mid of next month (April)
Also 0.35c will be today but bit later ;3
I really hate that all things was happen like that ((
I think that you all think that I not hold promises and was lazy after I get big support, but in real I trying really hard guys! (( Just... many things happen with me after all this amazing things with your BIG support happen
At first I think I will finish Tower in January and in December you all support me so much! Woah! :O! I start think that my goverment will try to catch me because of taxes and something like this, and I was right, so I start to make some stuff to prevent all this, because I really want to create all this stuff for you :)
In the same time in our team was added 2 teammates, also I fall ill on one week T^T, and we was moved to new appartment how we say in milestone! :O and all this takes soooooooooooo many time D':
And after all this, in March my teammates was sits on their asses and does nothing :D because they can't do anything in flash, but they can do many things in other software x)) so, I decide that I should make something for starting of new project, and again lost half of month :'D
Now you know full story of this 3 months of my crazy run over many things x)
So, thanks that you understand me and stay with me all this time!
You all are the best! :)
We start a new era for Octa, when Octa finally was a team :)

Tower was creating by only me, Lorain creating by full Octa team, also how I write - my guys can't work in flash, only I'm can, so I still work on Tower final, and my team working on Lorain, so, in any case we can only create both games in the same time

Nes27

Skelaturi
new month new payment cycle. Knew it was not going to be today/yesterday like he said. I'm out
Josh
I dont mind new games, but I hope you guys finish the Tower
Kid Helios

Criteren
Shieet people are being quite cynical, i for one think it looks promising.
Skelaturi
Be honest the tower update is not going to be today, your doing it tomorrow so you get a nother month of pledges. Dare you to proof me wrong.
Pretty Nice Girl ! :O

Everything you've done up to this point has been great! It's ok if you aren't making things very fast, quality is most important ^.^

After looking at these concepts, I remembered Xenotake. Similar design of the character and monsters. There was quite ordinary, but at the same time a detailed story. The only drawback, no matter how carefully you go through the game, you still fuck on the plot :) (my whims) Quite interestingly, how will the combat system be put here? From what I see, I already like this game
Genickzwirbler
Hm. Bestiality/Monster rape or even the whole female protagonist setting (which always include these things) is not my thing or am I just tired to see it so often. Anyway I'm out I wish you the best of luck and I'm glad to see that you actually delivered.

Sliding mechanic already was planned from start, 2 years ago x) Yes, here will be secret areas, they always should be in platformers of action-rpg type)) How you imagine platformer of this type without secret and hard to get areas?)) Of course all this things was already planned ;)
Octopussy
This map is just a this game world concept, how you can see some rooms looks bigger and some looks smaller than they should be, final map will be compared from many items, objects monsters and etc., and at first I want make that all locations will hold player in action, to prevent boring :) Also it will be able by active abilities of Lora, which was you will see in the game, or I can tell it to you in PM if you want spoilers ;p
Sigrid
Yep i agree be carefull about te sliding mechanic the moust important thing you have to get right is the movment, it has to feel responsive so that when we fail we fail kuz of us not kuz the controls are bad Also some things that work well in a platformer are secret areas, thous can be done ussually by makeing it dificult to jump there(kuz of map design, not bad controls) or "fake" walls
Nathan
From looking at the map I will warn you first off that if the jumping isn't spot on and same with the landings then the platforming (even though you don't have many places for it planned) will cause annoyance to people. A way to get around it is to have no sliding unless on specific tiles and a possible system where if you miss platform just barely you hang on to edge but you sacrifice something to get on top again. Also if you do that then you could have the sacrifice be enemy come and do unique animation as they try to rape you but they struggle to do it while your hanging off side and so gradually pull you up on top towards end of animation. Just my thoughts to add on to where seems like a good plan.
