Apocrypha Arctica (a Metroidvania)

Archive: 3 posts


Some of the things you'll encounter:
- A large, often non-linear environment housing many secrets to be discovered
- Weapons that have uses beyond killing enemies (although they're good for that too)
- A grappling device that functions differently than what you may be used to; it's rather long, and you can attack while swinging
- Power-ups which will turn things that hurt you into things that help you
- Bears!

It's a very lengthy level that took me months to create. There are two parts. You are awarded a key to part 2 when you reach the end of part 1. Part 2 is arguably more fun than part 1 (you'll have more abilities and weapons) so I hope you continue to play through to the end. Multiplayer is technically supported, but probably not viable because of lag.

Enjoy! I hope that it recreates at least some of the feeling of playing an old-school Metroidvania.

I checked out your levels recently, and they didn't seem all that bad really. I do have some suggestions as to how to improve upon this, but I'll post it later, as I might want to work on some core Metroidvania kits 1st (such as password-based saving and loading, 2-way level transitioning, etc.).2011-06-20 09:14:00

Thanks, Shadow Wolf. I'll be glad to hear your suggestions. I don't know if I'll be dedicating any more time to this project--it feels like I wasted enough of my life on this as it is--but I suppose it's not out of the realm of possibility that I might.2011-06-20 18:04:00
