Ancient Heritage:Action RPG Combat Demo

Ancient Heritage Combat Demo (work in progress obviously).

<img src="https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/104893773/screen13.png" border="0">

Slightly out of date

Don't mind the mainmenu too much. Recommendet to load game to get some items <img src="smileys/smiley17.gif" border="0" align="middle">

So far there is only one up to date map and others are old test areas.

It seems to crash sometimes when hitting enemy I think it's from old damage calculations that are maybe a little over complicated. Also crashes quite often when quitting to mainmenu.

Can be difficult at first <img src="smileys/smiley18.gif" border="0" align="middle">

Controls:

A and D = move

S = crouch

SPACE = jump

MOUSE = look

LEFT MOUSE = attack

RIGHT MOUSE = BLOCK

when moving press W to run

TAB = change gear/weapon set

ENTER = inventory

E,R,T,Y = use consumable

F = interact (change map when map icon is shown and when crouched to pick item)

SHIFT = show item names

Inventory:

LEFT MOUSE = move item

F = Drop item

over information box there are buttons to show offensive and defensive stats.

Character sheet:

Increase and decrease attributes whit mouse

I and C buttons to navigate

Extra:

F1 = Fullscreen

F3 = windowed

J = slow time

K = normal time

Backspace = reset map (not the map where you currently are)

New Download (5/12/2013)

If you are having performance issues try deleting 1.png from Gfx/Terrain. It is not chop'd yet.

Any feedback is much appreciated.

Edit:accidentally posted first on C2 forum. Remembered your creations where all in the same page <img src="smileys/smiley9.gif" border="0" align="middle">

hi

couldn't get it to play;- got to the main menu, and new game but then a black screen

mineet

weird. What about load game. Could be magicam issue maybe. Have to investigate...

Katala

no couldn't load game

mineet

You probably mean after you click Continue/Ready. Then there is something wrong whit loading the map. You could maybe wait a few second or do you hear swing sound if you press left mouse.

Katala

didn't hear anything, just got a black screen once clicked new game or load game/ ready..

tried a few times entering different names

There is now new version. I removed that custom fade effect Download

If this doesn't work I have to check it tomorrow.

Edit: Oh and try removing that 1.png from Gfx/Terrain should have done something about it before posting. It is 1280x512 single picture so there might be some proplems.

Sorry to bother again :)

I removed Magicam from the game. It seems that it can cause some black screen problems on some computers. Also running on XP compatibility mode could maybe help. Only the exe file

hi thanks;; I will try it in a bit.. <img src="smileys/smiley1.gif" border="0" align="middle" />

Updated it a bit (Download on the main post), mainly damage calculations, changed physic simulation steps from 10 to 1 and added smooth camera.

Some tips:

-When blocking it can help to move backwards, blocking only works when weapons are clashing to each others.

-When you block successfully you can hit back after that.

-You can try dodge by crouching.

-Wear Ring of the Gods if getting beaten too much <img src="smileys/smiley14.gif" border="0" align="middle" /> or increase your stats.

Wanted to make it a bit more skill based and not just button smashing (well maybe there still is enough of that). Still designin what type of special skill system I will make. Should be different enough for those four planned character classes.

Still would be nice to know if this is complete farce or not. Still not final but perhaps near that.
