Magic Duel 0.1.1

WIP games, tools & toy projects
#1

This is my newest WIP Magic Duel, it’s not quite finished (no actual gameplay) but I do have a demo: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/70454565/magicduel0.1.1.jar

Basically I was thinking a duel between people using magic (think Street Fighter + RPG style), and a rock/paper/scissors system with different elements, requiring fast reflexes.

Controls: WASD for movement, number keys to select spell, click to fire spell

Current Features:
-Spells (particle effects)
-Player sprites
-Menu and screen hierarchy
-Spell selection
-Health counter
-male/female

To Do:
-gameplay - AI enemy
-more spells
-damage
-implement fighting system
-map/background

Yes, those are recolored Link sprites. Hey, I can’t draw ;D
Don’t worry I’ll use my own sprites for any final version of the game.
Please post any bugs/suggestions!

I like the idea of paper-scissors-rock with fast reflexes.

I found a cheat straight away though. ;D

If you hold down the mouse and quickly cycle through keys 1-6, you can do all the attacks (almost) at once.

#3

Ahh, tricky ;D
I’ll probably make a small time delay between when keys can trigger spells to be fired.

edit: posted in the wrong thread lol >.> looks nice and dont worry i cant draw either :frowning:

edit2: forgot about the projects thingy XD

Magic Duel 0.1.1
Original link updated

Cycling cheat fixed (I think)
Filesize reduced to 6.83 MB (removed music, if I add it again I’ll make the music size smaller)
Tried to reduce filesize even further but JShrink is breaking the jar, I’ll try again later.

#6

Use OGG for music. It saves lots of space

EDIT: Couldn’t find any cheats in the new version. I hate you >:( >:( >:( ;D :wink:

#7

It doesn’t start for me. I have both Java 6 and 7 installed. Don’t know what’s wrong. It doesn’t even open a javaw.exe process

#8

Uh, OS? I enabled OpenGLES 2 because I was too lazy to fix the texture sizes, don’t know if that makes a difference.
Any stack trace if running from cmd with java -jar?

#9

Windows XP

Works fine from the command-line. A good start :slight_smile:
