[WIP] Opacus Rising

Latest Build - Opacus Rising 24/1/13

Hello! Decided to make a thread about my latest project instead of just placing it in the "C2 Tests" thread, as I will be posting quite a bit.

My new project is called Opacus Rising (working title). The game it self is going to be a casual fantasy platform adventure. Similular to the likes of Limbo/Zelda. I am aiming for nice simple mechanics, but well executed and polished. There will be a environment based puzzles and combat.

The game is being designed for IOS, so you can test on your tablets, it works on phones, but it was not really designed for that.

Not to far in to development as of yet, but at a stage I feel I can show it.

Remember that it is very WIP and all the art is only place holder and I will get round to changing it.

Haha, wups. Thought that is where I was. If a mod could kindly move?

The game has a nice visual look to it :)

Are you using Spriter for the body animations?

I animated the body in Flash 8 and exported each frame out as PNG. I have heard good things about Spriter, but I didn't fancy learning a new program when I had deadlines to do. Will defiantly look in to it once I finish this project.
