The Sacrifice - First little Visionaire Game

Hi All

Since i've been nagging several forum members with my newbie problems i thought i at least ought to get you a bit of insight into what i'm working on

It's just a little three-room game to learn the engine (as some of you have witnessed )

I'm using Aseprite for all the Graphics and Animation and some further Audio Software for Music and Sound Effects. I'm currently mainly animating but soon i should have everything ready. The Character Portrait you see on the Inventory bar will (hopefully) show different emotions depending on the actions taken in the game as well as talk during dialogue. Kind of like in Doom, where the character gets more and more beat up or the SNES game Clocktower

Hope to post some updates soon over the weekend (working full steam on this... no partying for me )

Very nice, dude! Keep up the good work. I really like the style!

So.. what's the game's story about? Curious.

Well, it's about a sacrificial Maiden who frees herself from her captors. Nothing fancy, remember this is only supposed to be a 3-Room Game and with no commercial purposes at all. It's just my way of learning the Engine and get a little game out in the end. My past projects have been killed off by overambition too often, so that's why this time i'm keeping it small and simple, hence the low resolution pixel art (which is a lot of fun to do and QUICK! )

Just free herself from her captors? It's really simple story lol. But you can vary the methods in order to make a game look dynamic.

Not cancelled at all, i have the whole Design Document, but i have to take a more doable approach i.e. Low Res Graphics so i can do it by myself in a reasonable timeframe I'm all about keeping things simple but effective nowadays

It's Halloween season so it would be great if you keep up your horror project now.

Sometimes simple is the greatest.

By the way, I'm also making the game only myself but I am really a greedy person. Making around 10 characters myself is killing me.

I have a big dream... really big.

Well good luck with your project then Hope you'll pull it through!

I've been lurking here around 3 months but I never showed my games to here. I should do it sometimes...

Good luck with your current, next, future projects as well!

By the way... the next build of VS should include Spine support, so if you want to simplify your animations then you can use Spine to generate your characters & animations using sprite parts. I believe Simon said we can also access / edit various things during runtime too.

At least I believe it should be included in the next version as it's included in the team wiki changelog under Build 1183.

Well, thats great News For me personally, i still like the good old fashioned Frame by Frame Pixeling...
