Could you make a video of gameplay and upload it to youtube?

Looks nice! Wasn't it meant to be a Masters of the Universe game?

@Clemens,@3run
Sure, I was thinking about filming the gameplay after I fix few things. The new Skulls demo v5 will be done by tomorrow so I'll also do the video & make two uploads, demo to 4Shared & gameplay clip to YouTube:)

@PadMalcom
He,he you are right, congrats on a good memory:) It's a looong story but in a few lines it's like this:

Project started as a Masters of the Universe fan-fiction game called Secret of the Sword with 3D surroundings & 2D characters but later evolved into fully original 3D game called Blade of Power. After that I realized that I can't use 80% of the geometry since BoP was very different from SotS. At that time we also began working on George Dan Pirvu's Untitled Platformer (now: J,J&BUM) that started as a GS community project but unfortunately lost most of it's developers in about a year (btw that project is still happening, Ivan & me will continue our work on it as soon as Skulls are done). After few months we gave up on BoP & just compiled two mini-games for fun: SotS/Castle Rooms & Mer-Man's Lair.

After some time I decided that it's incredibly stupid to throw away 5 completely usable levels so I started experimenting with cartoon outlining & textures & we called the new game Skulls:):) That's about it in 5 sentences:)

Hey Pabvle, even if your game looks good it is sad that you gave up on SotS because I was and still am a big fan of MotU

You are right: ones a MotU fan always a MotU fan:):) ..so I didn't really, actually & permanently gave up on He-Man game, I just switched concepts:):)

Don't know if you followed George's community project when it started, but when it did start as a Untitled Platformer, it was initiated by George with a very simple platform solution that was introduced in the AUM90/Plug&Play section. Well I'm using that code as bases for my new, fully 2D MotU game:):) It's not day-to-day active project but I'm working on it from time to time. Here are some screens:

I was going to post old design solutions that every member of the art team created for the community project at the beginning of the development (http://www.opserver.de/ubb7/ubbthreads.php?ubb=showflat&Number=378775#Post378775) but I am waiting to have at lest some base-things of my MotU platform done & include them also in the pack:)

@Pavle: little tip for your 2d sparetime project:
get a vector program and retrace the graphics of the characters. Allos you to create smooth animations(based on fps you use for animation^^) and gives a cleaner look

@Rackscha
Thanx for the tip, I'll look into it:) My solution for 2D characters is also closely related to 3D models, panel is actually following the invisible 3D model & synchronizing it's animation loops with it:)

......
The new SkullS demo version 5 is now available for download on 4Shared & a walkthrough video has been uploaded to YouTube:)

Fixed bugs:
The text on in-game panels is larger & in more comfortable font.
The player model should keep his z values after death & level re-load.

Forgotten:
Unfortunately the last caption on the in-game option panel is still >smooth fps< and it should be >brightness< instead:)

Storyline relevant npcs:
Demo now has story-relevant characters that player can interact with & that can give him tips/help regarding other game entities/objects or mission goals.

Easy gameplay:
The K key can now be used to randomly kill few or all enemies during battles.

I hope that now everything will work as it should:):)

This looks really nice. Good job.

Thanx, we will be uploading a new demo version soon and, if we manage to finish it on time, a trailer for the game:)

Awesome video, but couldn`t you upload the game to another mirror? 3 Parts on a fileuploader with big waiting time for each file is .. suboptimal. What about Mediafire?
