Game
[WIP] The Norshire Messengers
11 years ago

Development Update #1


xThe Norshire Messengers is my game for the #lowrezjam. I’m panning to make it a adventure/turnbased crossover with rather minimalized game systems (which doesn’t -unfortunately- mean that it’s not quite big). I have a backup plan that involves cutting a lot but for now i’ll keep developing and it’s going quite well.

About

The Norshire Messengers will suggest (because really in 32x32 pixels there’s not a whole lot of room/pixels for story) the story of a band of people who’ve taken it upon theirselves to deliver messages between the villages of Norshire.

Challenges

One of the major challenges of #lowrezjam is rendering text in the given resolution. I could tackle by trying to reduce everything that needs to be read to a maximum number of 4-6 characters, but I’ve decided to try to find a substituion for texts - such as sigils for villages, emoticons for words, etc.

Another challenge is user interface: i could’ve made an all-time-on-screen interace but decided to make discrete**‘screens’** that are shown on button press, giving me more pixels to display information and save screen space.

I’ll try to keep you up to date on the development ^°^

Here’s a preview of my compass-system:

Updated the chest in the maze, adding sound, particles and better animation. But what's in the chest?

Back in my art school days I used to ride the 710 COPSA line from Parque Del Plata to Montevideo almost everyday. This is the Marcopolo Viaggio G4 Mercedes Benz model from the late 80s, one of the older bus models that was running on the line.

Some time ago, we posted a screenshot of the Mexico level. A curiosity about it is that, like some other scenarios of the game, it was inspired by a real landscape, The Basaltic Prisms of Santa María Regla. It is one of the natural wonders of the country!

Got some fun collectibles in our game, Path of Kami!
