The Realms of Fantasy [old game]

As everyone has been posting their old games lately,
me and Lennart_Hillen have taken the time to build a working build from whatever we still had backed up on our old HDD.

we present to you our game, as it was back in the day:







and a link to our demo:
TRoF Demo (~28MB)

move around using WASD.
you can switch movement modes by pressing the Y button.
you can get into the inventory by pressing TAB (press it 3 times more to get out of it... weird bug, lol)

We didnt include the Battle system and cutscenes, it was waaaaay too messy, i'll upload a movie or something of the likes if people are still interested though.

Needless to say this is a canned project, but we still wanted to share this with you

Looks really great

looks nice!! i will try it now!

why didn't you continue developing the game?

The graphic is realy nice (only the playermodel walks a little bit... erm... you know what I mean ^^)

But landscape; Hats off!
You MUST keep it up ^-^

Wow, this is really great, very nice atmosphere!
Does the demo stop when I'm supposed to go left or am I just too dumb?

hahahahaa, the animation is just Cbabe with a different texture



hahahaaa, yeah, that's the end of the demo
There was more to the game, but most of it was never finished (like the battle system, the cutscenes).
This basically took us a year or 2 to make, but that includes time to learn how to use Gamestudio, bit's of optimisation etc etc.

thanks!
regards,

i am very impressed.

It looks like the Fable games.

Believe me, you guys are going to hit hard in the gaming industry when you decide to get serious.

id really like to post an old BOA demo, but since it is mostly the work of turrican, i think its only fair if hed be the one to post this here.

edit: yeah dennis you heard that. youre gonna hit hard XD

Funny, we both are already in the industry
I am working at Guerrilla Games developed Killzone 2 (hence my nickname, Helghast ;)).
And Lennart worked on Fairytale Fights, and he's got his own company up and running

BTW: for the people that dont know, this was made under A6..
about 5/6 years ago.

whoa i didnt know that. i love killzone!

Great Demo. You really had a polished UI and some really nice textures back then.

Just the movement (and Charactermodel, but thats a placeholder anyhow) isnt that great...

Did you use that for your applications in the industry?

Yes, the movement was something we fell over ourself as well
that's why we offered 2 movement modes (you can switch that with the Y button).
We spent alot (probably too much back then) of time on the visuals, and getting the feeling (atmosphere, mood, size, environment) right, I still use some panels from that game in my game nowadays

Yes, I did use this as application, but it was not the biggest thing or focus I used to get the job.. It helped I guess though

regards,

looks very nice! Very Impressive for sure!


As said by someone else, it looks much like Fable, I would know.
Very well done for the old engine for sure!!


Also, Good for you, being involved in Killzone2.

wow, the textures work is wonderfully done. did you buy them or make them? if you made them id love to discuss techniques with you sometime, as i dabble in texture creation myself

Hey Doc, the textures are partially made by me but mostly taken from the internets. Back in the day, I knew very little about texturing and used to rely heavily on the "free" textures posted on Dave Gurrea's website : www.davegh.com

Take a look, there's some interesting stuff to be found! It looks like you're not allowed to use those textures for commercial ends though, so that's something to keep in mind.

Thanks everyone for the positive feedback. It's a lot of fun reading through them seeing as how the project brings back such great memories for me and Dennis! Good times, good times

if you can work that one in a7, i can make characters for you and work on it like a crisis core game! men i like the scenery so much!!!!!!!!!

I AM working on a different RPG myself (completely redone and written from scratch in A7), and am in the need of characters.. maybe you want to PM me some screens of previous works from you, could be pretty cool to work together maybe ?
