Computer Game Development - The Indie Alley / The Spell - A top-down fantasy action game
« on: February 04, 2017, 08:59:33 PM »
Hello,
I was invited on twitter to join Exilian so I thought I'd finally make a post.
I'm one half of our team Havensoft, currently making a top-down action game called The Spell:

After an attack on his homeland, the exiled Wizard Arik travels back to his old kingdom to defeat their army and confront his fellow wizards.
The game is a mix of violent action, tactical use of spells and some puzzle solving. Arik is fragile, but extremely powerful, and the goal is to use his mana as efficiently as possible to defeat crowds of enemy soldiers.
His powers are physics based, he can shoot bolts of kinetic energy and throw heavy objects around. As each wizard is defeated Arik will gain their powers to add to his arsenal.
Levels are mostly destructible, he can break down walls to make an escape or set fire to a table then throw it for massive damage.
The game also contains some puzzle solving and exploration.
Here is our announcement trailer from when we released our prototype in November:
We've updated it since then, so the trailer is slightly outdated.
A more recent one, still being tweaked:

We've released the bulk of our work so far as a free prototype:

It is intended as a proof of concept and a way to get feedback on the game, and eventually we're planning a greenlight and crowdfunding campaign.
We'd like to get some feedback on what we have so far, as well as advice for moving forward with it.
