Well, it took me longer as i excepted (sometimes private life comes in the way^^) but here it is: the first gameplay montage of Rage of Tyr!

as you can see, it consists of only 2 Stages (Stage 3 is not ready yet^^) and shows just a few short clips of the gameplay. basicaly, its a hack and slash with minimal adventure elements. run around, kill as many enemies as possible. not really much to add here^^

technique:
A6 Comercial with Render2Texture.dll from ChrisB (thanx)
Bloom Shader (Slin, Ultimate Shader Collection)
Bump, Normal and Specularity Mapping (xXxGuitar511)
Water Shader (Not visible)
Stage 1 (Village) Is made of Models and Terrain only
Models bought from alienheretic (i really reccomend him)
Rain courtesy of xXxGuitar511 (thanx again)

As you can see, we could need somebody who really knows coding, to create a better AI and Battle System, and maybe an effects coder^^

CONs:
- empty levels, esp. the outdoor areas (grass? trees?)
- strange enemy death animations (they fall like "plattgebügelt")
- funny hero walk animation ("where's the next toilet?")
- very limited visibility range in outdoor areas

hey @ 0:30 the skelleton dies without beeing hit? @0:45 too!

as broozar said adding grass could add a lot to the overall feeling of emptyness.
movement seems a bit choppy from time to time and i didn't like the music voices. other than that its a good start.
you really should focus on good ai, movement and fightsystem bevore you continue to make more levels. or you might risk, that you have to rebuilt them after you got some ai going.
i would do that first then optimize the levels you already have and you got a nice starting point for more levels/enemies and so on...

is there some kind of story? or is it just running around killing everything you see?

about the enemy hits and animation and stuff: some of this is due to the video, some is due to the not realyl existant AIw e dont have. i told you that...

the level emptyness is true, partially, however, the visibility range is not short. its 15000 quants. its just an angle thing. i chose those angles to focus more on teh texture work and less on the visibility, but i see you dont like that. well, next time ill do it differently...

edit: also, this is a graphics demo, more or less. there is a story, explained on page 1 or 2, so.. yes there is a story...

Looks good so far.
<include broozars comment here />

As you say you don't have an AI I guess the fights will be longer/more interesting when there is some AI
This was the only thing which lacks in this "game" until now. Some longer battles.
Otherwise there is no use for the shield as every enemy dies on first hit

Keep it up you two!

it looks like it could be fun the only issue i have are:
-the funny running like broozar said (could be fixed by just pulling the legs closer together during animation)
and
-the gameplay seems to be lacking something to not become over repetitive, but i don't know what it is.

"is there some kind of story? or is it just running around killing everything you see?"
that's what I thought as well... not really "gameplay" yet.
but seeing how little time you seem to have spend on this (the two days and then just a little in the past months?) it looks great.

I don't like how the character slides. at some point it is because he moves without moving his legs (= moves without walking) and on other parts he moves his legs but can't get forward because something's blocking his way.
I solved the second problem by just trancing into the direction the player moves, about 1*the player width. if there's something there, just ignore the input (just act as if that key wasn't pressed)...
worked great for me, and I think it looks much better

one more thing: I believe the user will get tired of that ponytail the guy has. not because of the tail, but because of the animation... after seeing that for 10 minutes, your head will start going from one side to the other

I think it's great work so far.

Looks good, but tail is realy annoying.
Try making it not shake so intense.

Aweome sPIKe, sounds are cool for it too imho and I love the one hit kill, would be great if oppossed to heaps of enemies as a battle skill.

well, in the final version there will be one hit kills, butthere will also be bigger battles. Tyr is a god, so its only logical he is stronger...

since pupetteer agreed to help us a little bit, maybe we can shake this up alittle^^
