How we design our story mode levels with screenshots and more screenshots!


We want to allow to preorder the storymode very soon but before talking about business plans, let’s take a look at the levels in the story mode first!

We used some of the level contest entries as a basis to create story levels. Lootninja by sauer2 for example:

“Upgraded” Lootninja Level

Some of the steps when “upgrading” a level are the addition of…

background, skyline and info/data terminals…

shadows and characters…

hidden areas…

… and new content in general. Most “upgrade levels” are larger and require more time to do a 100% run than the originals.

Here is a big screen of a different, jetpack robot-heavy level, which is not based on a contest entry:

Codename “Jetpack Intro” (1920x1200)

We’re nearly done with all the levels for episode 1 but some bugs, the preorder website and paypal integration will probably not allow us to release before January…

Today I was setting up the location of the first boss. His name is "Father" and he is the first of the Patagonians. His task is to guard the road to the House.🛡🗡 Bookmark pre-launch page🔖🔖🔖

I have added rewards for quests so that villagers can give you something in return for your hard work helping them. 🥳

I want to know - what's your favourite quest reward?

Made my first ever animation.

I made a small jungle house.

Hey you, rookie! Yes, I am talking to you!! Come over here? Relax! Just stick to me and everything will be fine. By the way, my name is James Varhuher, but you can call me Big J. I will bring you up to speed.

I thought I would do a quick show and tell, with a 2 min video of the start of the game and some of the game elements, after many many months it is really starting to come together, time to start networking https://gamejolt.com/games/Dungeon_fable/490669

A calm and quiet day.. Made surreal by the feeling of finding an elven building in the mountains, and wondering of its purpose and story. I built this elven style house and it was my first attempt at something like this, but what do you think?
