2 days + 2 freaks = Rage of Tyr!

Hi all ^_^

Once again, I've travelled to Innsbruck to visit Spike. And as always, we don't have much intelligent ideas in our minds when we see each other - but this time the result is made with A6 and not with the remains of excessive drinking of alcohol.
So we're proud to present the first impressions of our game, whose game idea was stolen from others like God of War, Enclave etc - but at least, it's already playable (we just can't show any combat scenes yet, because they look terrible) which isn't bad due to the fact that we've started this thing just 2 days ago.

Enough senseless talking, here are the first screenshots from Rage of Tyr!



As you can see, the game is thought to become very violent - you play Tyr, the german God of War, which is very displeased because of.. well, we haven't thought much about a story yet. Actually Spike has, but I strongly disagree with his version






A village that was burnt down by some evil undead creatures which will be slain by hundreds in the game.






And that's Tyr, in an evil, dark dungeon, ready to slay the forces of evil, because they are so evil that they've even burnt down the village above, which is the reason for Tyr's rage! (Did I already mention that Tyr's enemies are evil?)

Well, we hope you like this very first screenshots and that you're ready for some new impressions soon, which will hopefully show the slaying of hundreds of evil creatures


Regards - Spike and Sebe

i love you guys

and now bed time night

i like what i am seeing there. nice model! and i also like that you are taking a germanic god. now where is loki in that game? maybe behind all those evil creatures?

Boo ÄH!!!

VERY VERY AWESOME !!

Cheers

for 2 days of work: amazing!!
looking forward to seeing him slay those evil creatures

*rofl*
How cool!
Nice scenery.

Looks cool!
But why the Tyr is without a hammer(or whatever it's called like)?

we are still debatting about loki. sebe doesnt want him. we allways disagree, its amazingly funny^^

and thats TYR, not THOR... THOR is the Hammer dude... TYR uses a spear, one you will find later in the game (we had a discussion about that too, i won^^)^^

then why does he have 2 arms? if i remember correct, someone had biten off his arm

Not bad, I like how it looks so far. As long as you can make good gameplay, I think it will be a good game.

Thanks for all the comments so far - atm, Spike is working on the dungeon level and trying to improve the gameplay and I'm finishing the outdoor village level, so there's a great progress

About tyr - he lost his hand, not his arm - he lost one hand in the fight against the Fenriswolf, but that's all after our game. In fact, we're still thinking about a good story to explain that Tyr has both hands

looks interesting.
but the bloom "macht es matschig".

actually, the hand was bitten off during a challenge between the fenris wolf and the aesir(gods of asgard). they wanted to trap the wolf(who is actually one of Loki's offspring), but said they would free him if he couldnt break free of the binding(a lie). they tried several times to chain him up, but the wolf kept breaking free of the chains, so Odin had the elves that created the weapons for him, create an unbreakable material. this "silken ribbon", was then proposed as the next challenge, and the wolf suspected a trick, so he agreed to be bound again, but as a condition one of the Gods had to place a hand in his mouth. and if he was not freed, he would bite off the hand. so Tyr was the only God who would do it, and i guess we know the rest.

Great work for just two days !!
The look really fits the story/plot behind this project, I hope we can expect the same for the gameplay which shouldn't be to hard for you guys

Cheers

What does Tyr wear below his kilt?

Very awesome stuff for two days!

Can't wait for the first demo or screenshots where you rip thoses evil creatures apart.
The screens look indeed "soft" (puply?) but I like it as it looks better than all that sharp-edge gamestudio-look.

Keep up the good work and let us see more when there is more (no I don't mean what is underneath Tyr's kilt)

für 2 tage eine sehr sehr geile sache. hier wird mal wieder die augescheinliche limitierung von acknex deutlich: feuer-lichtspielereinen, schatten etc. könnten der szene zu so viel mehr stimmung verhelfen, aber es ist einfach (mit standard- und erweiterten mitteln, wenn man nicht grad matt_aufderheide heißt) nich realisierbar.

he wears something below his kilt, sorry. we got the model that way^^

okay, so there actually are a few here who know our mythology. i like that^^
and yeah, blink was not that wrong with his tale about his hand. but as sebe already said, this plays before this scenario.

we are thinking about a way to tell a nice story, but since everything is set in stone what happens and how this happened, this is not that easy^^

oh and for those of you who can read rune, there are a few nifty surprises written in some places^^

edit: @broozar:
actually, it looks pretty damn good ingame. you dont have to eb matt, you just shoudl not be lazy. shadowmapping and so on...

I like the game idea very much and the first screenshots look promising to me.
Will Tyr battle against some norse giants as well? In my opinion they would make impressive end bosses.
Are there any information about the fighting system yet?

@Fenriswolf: Aha, now I know what you are doing at 8 PM, when you say: "I'm having dinner " I can't believe that my colleague cut someones hands...LOL

Nice screenshots for just 2 days without excessiv alcohol. I like the fire very much. But find a better texture for the border of the stone plateau on the first ingame screenshot.
