Lab Rinth (Superhero RPG/Hack n' Slash)

Hey guys,

Because I had so much fun with Sinuosity but it was really only a gameplay prototype, I decided it would be fun to go back to it. I thought the gameplay there was very fun, it just lacked content because I only made it in a week and a half.

My coworker, and very good 2D artist, also wanted to work with me on a game in our free time. We decided to start with a prototype we already knew was fun (Sinuosity), and so after throwing some ideas around we came up with our concept.

The game is currently without a title, but it will utilize the same gameplay elements but in a super hero setting. It will include 2D bone animations, allowing you to customize your superhero and get him upgrades, new weapons, etc. You’ll also get super powers, like jumping over enemies, busting through walls, etc.

I’ll be posting news as it comes along.

Here is a first concept sketch of your hero at level 1, not including legs. This is drawn by Seth Robles, also known as Willow 408. :stuck_out_tongue:

Looks good! Classic platformer idea… ;D

Great idea, it’s excellent that you’ve got an artist to help.

Oh yeah, this is planning to go on:

Desktop via Java (Applet or Webstart)
Android
iPhone

Work on this is going pretty well.

The title will probably be:
Lab Rinth

The plot will be that people are getting kidnapped and taken to “Lab Rinth” to be shot up with drugs etc. to be turned into a super villain army. Straightforward type of storyline. :slight_smile:

I should have some more artwork up here pretty soon.
