Monsters!

Hello guys!

Another phase done! I'm happy to announce that all of the monsters from Blood are complete. In a previous post I stated that I might add some more creatures from Blood 2 but not all. You might comment which creature is your favourite and I might consider drawing some of them. Until that enjoy the finished graphics here

And the first release of monster gfx are here (duplicate link, nothing new)

So the next phase is to animate all of the monsters and maybe make them killable as I progress or after all the animations are done I don't know it yet... The animations are partially done for some of the creatures as you could see.

To SWIM!

Hello guys!

I've got some good news! As I explained in a comment at the previous post I continued the game. I decided to make Caleb swim. And after two days of hard work it's done. It was tricky in some way with the weapons and projectiles but it's okay now.

In addition I added the red screen when Caleb suffers pain and it runs well on my 2 Ghz Intel Core2 Duo MacBook. Plus when you're underwater you need oxygen, right? There's no real oxygen meter but you can see as the screen goes darker just like in the game. I will use the same for the gripping hand as the hand's choking Caleb.

Talking about hand and enemies. I did some drawings lately and I added a new preview for the creatures. The site where I used to upload my stuff is going to end the free service for FTP so I'm moving to an older and a bit slower site of mine but at least it works and it's free. The one I'm leaving is bullshit.extra.hu I used to like this because it has a funny name. But now I'm back to tomflash.uw.hu (uw stands for UltraWeb). I edited all the previous posts so all the links are redirected to tomflash instead of bullshit.

So here are the links, have fun and please comment! I'm doing this for all the Blood fans and fans of my works.

The fifth engine demo is here
To control Caleb underwater use C to swim down, SPACE to swim up.

The new monster arts are here
I added the gargoyle, the rat (burning and burnt versions), bloated butcher and the hell hound. I need to draw the bone eel, the gill beast and the spider is half way done.

If you feel to support my project, you can donate by paypal. Please note that the game will be free for anyone to play online.

To swim or not to swim

Hello guys!

I'm getting closer to the end of drawing the enemies. The next big question is that:

Should Caleb swim?

If yes, then I must draw 2 more monsters, the bone eel and the gill beast. Plus I have to make Caleb able to swim and draw his animation while swimming.

Maybe the bone leech and some bigger Blood 2 monsters will appear too...

After all this stuff I can start to work on the "ai" of enemies. Ai is a bit harsh, rather say "mindlessly attack" with different types of attacks. Then I can draw the levels and reveal the story in depth. Oh, I can't wait to shoot the sh*t out of them... So I'm gonna let you decide by commenting:

Do you want Caleb to be able to swim?

Shogo and Blood 2 music on XP

I just had a feeling I'd like to play some good Shogo. You all might know that Blood 2 and Shogo is powered by the same engine so they both suffer from the same problem on windows XP. I dig up some info on the problem and found a site which explains how to solve this problem. The guy used some debugging environment and found out that the game must call a different dll on XP than on win98. I can't find the article and I don't want to explain how to solve the Shogo/Blood 2 music problem just give you a link for download:

Get it from fileplanet

I hope this will be helpful for some of you. Any questions into comments.

New graphics

Ahoy there!

 I had some time (that's just not true, I don't want to learn for the exams :) ) and I draw some "enemies". I put them together for you to see them in motion. Just like you I can't wait to shoot, blast, burn them to hell :D Enjoy the cultist, the zombie and the "innocent" guy!

Enemies1

More enemies to come!

Cultist

Hi guys!

 I had some time so I made up this little stuff:

Cultist

The cultist from the cabal with it's basic animation. I can't wait to continue to develop the game. I need mostly enemies, some level design and that's all :D Okay, I know it won't be that easy but I have to start it somewhere. Hurting the enemies is basically ready as the barrel has some damaging features. I hope you like the priest gfx. The exam season is coming but after that I hope I'll have some spare time in the summer to create more gfx and features in the game engine. I'd really like to finish this game because I just love Blood!

Keep your eyes open, more to come :) 

And any ideas are welcome!

School

The school is on. So the development will slow down a little bit but I swear I wont stop the project! That's all, folks.
