    <font size="3">My short story</font>

    I've started my adventure with Construct 2 a couple of months ago.. early on it was like 15-20 minutes daily, learning some basic stuff.

    Then I started the first project called Save The Grandpa, with my friend, (you can play the demo on Scirra Arcade) and it was like 40-50 minutes daily.

    Then we did a small demo of The Purple.. it wasn't a good game except nice (in my opinion) graphics and music.

    <font size="3">My goal...</font>

    Now I'm working on the most ambitious project I've ever thought of (kinda) - Knight's Tale. Sandbox, in a big world created by me, game developer and regurarly expanded by US, the whole game community, according to mine and your ideas put together. That's my plan for now.

    <font size="3">..and my problems</font>

    However, due to the lack of money for the full version of the best game creating program I've ever used, Construct 2 I can't finish any of my games. The price is worth it, it should be even higher, though, in my opinion, but I'm just 17 years old and can't work out so much money to get it. I've already earned money that I spent on a drawing pad that really helps me out in unleashing my creativity, but that's everything I can do for now, by myself.

    I am planning unique special gifts in some time for everyone that donates me because with that you help me making my dream come true and I want to give you something back, as much as I can. :)

    <font size="5">So far I've got:

    28$ out of 119$ needed.</font>

    <img src="http://images.cooltext.com/3324774.png" border="0">

    <font size="5">Kiril [10$]

    Dannyzigg [20$]

    <font size="4">

    What am I going to do after getting the license?

    Finish my Save The Grandpa project (it would take like 3 weeks), and expand it like weekly with free content. The game wouldn't cost much, maybe just 1$ in a symbolical price, but there wouldn't be any DRM. I am not that much against piracy - if someone can't buy the game or just wants to test it out - he should be able to get it for free. You can't force anyone to buy your products.

    Create Knight's Tale pre-alpha and put it out for free to testing, then going to alpha and trying to get on Steam Greenlight.

    Anyway, I'd still like to show you my progress on Knight's Tale, maybe I will be able to create at least a short demo with a small village and a few quests, using 100 events in Construct 2.

    As I said, the idea is creating a sandbox that would be constantly developed even further, adding more cities, quests and generally - more stuff. Most, if not all of these updates, would be completely free - if you had bought a game of course!

    Player would be able to customize his character (I already got a couple of graphics and body parts), buy a pet, mount or invest some money in a house or a shop. There would be many ways to get money, just working in a regular job as a woodcutter, miner.. kidnapping people and robbing them. Rob the whole village (it wouldn't be that easy!) and burn it down. Become a merchant and start a little stall, travelling NPCs wold eventually buy something.. Just tons of options! I got them in my head and on a paper, I know how to create games actually so it's not just simple dreams. If not a license I would've already started implementing it.

    Now going into some screens (UPDATED 14th september):

    You can always tell me if you like the idea, I'm just going to post more of it.

      • We decided to completely change the graphics style of Knight's Tale and it's going to be more like.. retro style.

        Why did we decide to simplify graphics?

        We want to make this game HUGE, but there are only 3 of us and only 2 of us work on graphics so it would take ages to create game of that kind, with good (technically) graphics. After creating 3 or 4 quite simple games and getting some basic knowledge, we want to finally unleash our more ambitious idea.

        More info is coming soon, though. For now there is one screen, showing an early stage of prototyping the city :D

        <img src="http://screenshu.com/static/uploads/temporary/zu/1x/nt/wt4su3.jpg" border="0" />

        We are working on background stuff right now, so there are only so-called "mountains" as a placeholder and trees.

        Hope you like it, I'm creating my own topic soon.

        Here is the first Knight's Tale NPC that is going to sell armors and stuff like that! I hope you like it, and yes he's inspired with Dragon Ball intentionally. :D

        Thanks!

        btw. he's not finished yet!

      • <img src="http://oi40.tinypic.com/23tl3z5.jpg" border="0" />

        Just a short overview of what we are working on, it's an early version thuogh. I'd like to know what do you think. Oh, and up there is "Medical Center" :P

      • Hey I got a screenshot here for you. It is first official enemy that will be featured in my upcoming game Knight's Tale - Goblin. I'd like to get some feedback from you. :)

        <img src="http://screenshu.com/static/uploads/temporary/l2/rx/r6/z4a8a4.jpg" border="0" />

        He doesn't have a weapon yet though and head/hands outlines need rework. Thanks!

      • Here is the first sneak peek of the game we are working on now, Knight's Tale. I'd like to get some feedback what do you think about the animation, it's my first time doing serious animation.

        I'm also going to create separate topic for it soon.

        Thanks!

        An early "prototype" of player character in our upcoming game Knight's Tale, we are really excited about it and I'd like to know what do you think about the general design. It's my first time doing more "serious" graphics for a game and also animating it (walking and idle ready). Thanks :)

      • The Purple's playable demo is already out. It's an early version though.

        Second level, hard work in progress

      • A few screenshots from second level of Purple

        Hope you like it, I will upload a video in my topic today or maybe release playable demo if everything's ready. We are working on a third level that is going to be completely different too. Graphics need a lot of polish and rework imo, there are a lot of small "bugs" etc. And also we need to polish both levels that are there now. We are limited with free version so it will be just showcase of 3 episodes (1 level for each)

        Thanks!

        Man it looks awesome, I really enjoy this screenshot and love his face, haha, good job and keep it up.

        If someone's interested about Purple development you can see a small screenshot there

        <img src="http://screenshu.com/static/uploads/temporary/fz/6o/ss/durdew.jpg" border="0" />

        It is end of level 1 (not finished yet), I'm just learning how to do lighting for now, it is hard for me but fun too. Next levels will look completely different and there will be more environment elements also this lighting is just test and it gets darker on the end of first level because second will be dark from start. I want to bring some artistic feeling more than gameplay challenge (it won't be very easy to complete the game though!) and I hope some of you will like it. Thanks!

      • Hey! I got a little DevUpdate #2 (mostly graphics improvement) for you out there and next what is coming is fully playable level (this one is just showcase)

        [TUBE]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rbqos9RJr9k[/TUBE]

        After that I'm also going to create next level that is going to look completely different and also there will be gameplay elements, not just walking from left to right :D

      • Good work out there, tank movement needs some improvement though, in my opinion. And also white edges on bricks don't look good. The rest is okay, it is your first game so keep working on it and it will be fun to play!

        If you mean Save The Grandpa, I have fixed (in my opinion) the wall. Just completely forgot about it. :D
