Rusty Blob - An Rpg with a twist, A Platform Based Real Time Rpg

Rusty Blob is about a small Blob that used to work on a farm- However, on the night of his Grandfathers vacation, the evil Dlobs ( Dark, evil blobs ) attacked the village and destroyed everything and took in everyone as slaves.
The farm-blob was on vacation with his grandfather at the time- When his grandfather suffered a heart attack.
The blob quickly brought his grandfather to town in hope of medical assistance, however, when he got there, all but one man was left.
In order to restore the town, the boy must take on quests from the few remaining blobs in the town to rescue others and to make the town look better.
And once it is all done, his grandfather may see light again- If the boy is quick enough.

F.A.Q:

Q: Why is it named Rusty Blob?

A: For two reasons. The boy was very poor, and every tool he used in his farm was old and rusty.
And he used to hunt animals for food when he was younger, but since he has not fought for a few years, his swordwork is a bit rusty.

Q: You said it had a twist- What is it?

A: The twist is instead of you just pressing buttons to swing your sword, you control and swing the sword with your mouse. You can perform special moves by doing certain combo's and the faster you swing your mouse, the harder you hit your opponents.

Q: What kind of features does it have?

A: I hope to have many weapons to choose from and many enemies to fight. So far, there are 17 weapons, but only 2 enemies.
It also has a Day/Night system- When it is daytime, clouds move across the sky, when it is nighttime, the stars come out.
Along with the Day/Night it has a Weather System- Large Storms will sometimes blow overhead, lighting will sometimes strike the ground and create fire where it is struck, ect.

Screenshots:


A small campire lights the surrounding area.


Storm clouds roll overhead...


It gets dark and rain starts to pour down from the heavens.


Oh my god- I've been hit by lightning!


And as the sun comes down, the stars come out.

It looks amazing, demo would be fantasticalistic!

Well, i'm still working on my engine, it's stil a bit rusty ( I'm terrible arn't I? )
But i'll probrably release a demo within today or tommorrow.

Looks sweet.
What program is it made in? My computer won't run Gm6 or Gm7 games

Damn, it's made in Gm
Any way you can convert the file to run with your computer?

Looks cool.

Also if you need any graphics I can make them.

Originally, I was going to have it all done by myself, but now I think I could touch up the graphics a bit.
So yeah, PM me if you want the job then!

Also, a new feature- Magic!
Magic is the power that is released by Dlob Blood. By defeated Dlobs and gathering their blood, you will be able to use more and more magic.
So far, there is Pathway ( Create a pathway and reach any heights ), Ignite ( Ingite your foes ), and freeze ( Freezes your enemies until they are struck or until the frost wears off ). You can switch through the magic spells by holding down the Right Mouse Button and scrolling the mouse wheel up or down.

Night could use a much darker and more purple sky. Otherwise it looks nice.

The screens remind me of this game (Allefant 5), by the way.

The time in that screeny is probrably around 7:30 P.M, once it is fully dark ( Around 10:00 ) It is much darker.
Along with that, the clouds are still there during night time, so they make it seem brighter.
Thanks for the C+C though, i'll have to change the clouds a bit.

Also, your right.
My game does look like that abit, never heard of that game though.
Looks interesting

You could make the clouds more transparent at night. And change sky colour this way: Orange, blue, red, dark purple.

And if you happen to need music, I'm open for that job!
