Games [WIP] Rogue Fantasy | Greenlit

​

A rogue-like action adventure inspired by Legend of Zelda.

Rogue Fantasy tells the tale of a villager who awakes one day to find themselves inside a mysterious dungeon.

Your journey through the dungeon will never be the same, and seeking the exit isn't easy with the countless dangers lurking around every corner. And is seeking the exit even the answer? The future is however you decide to take it.

FEATURES

• A procedural generated dungeon, filled with unexpected twists and turns.
• Reactive enemy AI with different parameters towards the environment and stimulus.
• Clever level design and rules that generate an unique challenge.
• Multiple tools to deal with the dangers and puzzles.
• First person combat and stealth making use of the surroundings.
• Persistent perks and traits for each attempt to get out.

Don't hesitate to give us your feedback

This looks really nice, subscribing to this topic.

 

Overall I really like it. Style is great. My only issue, but it may just be personal, is that I'm not a fan of the reticle at all. It feels very distracting to my eyes when the white bit goes around to represent stamina depleting, and I feel the thing is just way too big to accommodate that mechanic. Anyway, good luck!

 

We're not too much of a fan either
It's a placeholder for now and we will be working more on the UI soon hopefully.

 

Small update, climbing ladders and using bow & arrow

 

This is to detect the hazards and interactive objects :

 

Very "No Mans Sky" esque.
Probably other games have used a similar effect but since Ive seen this effect recently in nearly EVERY game related youtube video - its the first references to come to mind.
Nice work on pulling it off. Looks good.

 

Arcs
These mystical sources of power may appear from time to time inside the dungeon, and it’s up to you to figure out how to utilize the power that they offer.


The visual of the arc itself need some adjustments

 

Nice with a rouge like that does not have boring dungeon walls only : D

 

WIP in progress of snow area :

 

Another cave WIP

 

Here are 2 recent pics from our twitter:



This is still the cave area, i will have to make more rooms and add more puzzles for this theme

 

New graveyard area:

 

I love the lighting in your level design! But I almost want to see more lighting. This game could look even more decorated and beautiful than it already does. I think if you could get a lot a visual benefit to breaking up the level design a lot more with some clever lighting in some areas. But it really is so pretty :3

This reminds me a bit of turok for the 64 great game! I hope all runs smooth!

 

Thanks

there is definitely room for improvements, right now we are working on adding more sounds to the environment.

 

Here another place near the graveyard

 

the levels look great gratz pal

 

Here is some combat

 

Nice work on level layout. They look real nice, though I agree some more focused lighting on areas of interest could improve them even more.
This is what I see from your last post. Is that supposed to be an image or video?

 

Its suppose to be a gif, postimg.org was down for a while :/
I can see it so hope it works for you now!

 

Still not for me.

 

I changed where the gif was hosted, hopefully it works for everyone
Let me know if you still have issues.

 

Yeah Mad - it is showing now. Nice action and lighting in that scene!

 

Thanks

 

We just added the project on Steam Greenlight
Your support would be very appreciated!

Here is the trailer :

 

Nice work progressing to get up on greenlight.
The trailer overall is well done, however I think the first 30 seconds is low impact and you might loose a lot of impatient viewers. The visuals are great and show nice subtle stuff going on, but it might be too much of a slow lead in - into the meat of the trailer.

 

Yes this is something we've been thinking about and you are probably right, looking at trailers we liked we went for this.
We do plan on making another video which will only show gameplay hopefully i can finish that one soon!

If you guys still like what you see, don't hesitate to leave a vote on Greenlight and retweet some of our tweets to help us bring more attention to the game!

Thanks

Really interesting Project *_*
I stay tuned :---)

 

Copy of our announcement (http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/updates/770424934/1475633974)

After 8 days, we're greenlit thanks to all your support! We're processing the Steamworks registration, and once it's done, we'll make sure the game is free from all the bugs we could find and phase into a closed beta.

Being fully aware of what the community wants is part of our goal, so we'll try to set out a day where we can prepare a devlog to show what we've been working on every week. Once we feel like there’s a good amount of gameplay, we'll roll out early access to fix any minor bugs (the game will be fully playable and optimized at this point) and request feedback from the community on features and gameplay.

Once again, we really appreciate the support, and we'll make sure that we can deliver a product that you'll be satisfied with.

We'll get back to work, and see you guys back next week with another devlog!

 

Hey guys, I would really like to read a little about how you tackle procedural generation. Any chance this will be featured in your devlog?

 

We are using DunGen (https://www.assetstore.unity3d.com/en/#!/content/15682) for the generation We picked that one over some others to keep the ability to create rooms by hand, so that the procedural part support the level design and not the other way around (if that make any sense)

As shown a bit in the last devblog we made our own occlusion culling on top of DunGen as we run into performance problems with other solutions.

DunGen has its own limitation which we try to deal with to keep things interesting.

We decided to not build lightmap or precomputed realtime, even though there is solution to make baking work the result were not that great and was slowing down our pipeline.

Hopefully this answer some of your questions

 

Thanks for the insight So do you really just use it to build the environment or will there also be unique encounters/story plots etc?

 

We have our own random spawner which can be mix with some of the random feature that dungen propose to make some element of a room appear or not.

We plan to add story element yes

Edit:
We will expand a bit more on this in the next devblog

 

Here is the devblog 7 which explain more about the dungeon generation

Great work,
I can see some influence from Zelda!
^__^

 

Thanks

Here are some WIP models :

 

Here is the hand that will go with the earlier big head
Will probably make more sens once together animated but its kind of like the bongo bongo boss in Zelda.

 

Also here is the creature with some WIP textures:

 

For information about those models, it can look a bit amateurish because we are not experienced 3d artist, but several feedback were about people wanting to see custom assets instead of the one from the store which is understandable (that's what we wish too). So we decided to try to provide at least some custom ones in the best of our abilities learning along the way

 

Very interesting, thanks!

 

Ah one more question though, you write that you "tweaked the navmesh generation to be faster and run async runtime" - I assume you do not use Unitys built in solution, since that can't generate on runtime?

 

Keep at it. The models don't look terrible. They look a little clay-ish but that is common when starting out.
I think the art 'style' will fit well in the game.

 

Thats a nice looking project

 

Hey thanks

Here is the hand textured:

We are using the "A* pathfinding project" : http://arongranberg.com/astar/

Testing the workflow for an exterior area, currently using Gaia and Map Magic:

 

Great work so far! The atmosphere you're building towards is looking really nice. Just wondering if there was a way to add a little more depth perception on far away objects. Especially on the first pic of your last post, I feel like you can see a little too much detail.

But this is really exciting!

 

Some more WIP :

 

I really like this!
