Title: [WIP] Cave Combat (Terraria-like greets - Follow on Facebook!)

Hey, everybody I am working on a terraria/starbound-like game called Cave Combat. Mainly I introduce my game here to look for some facebook followers, so that this game have some more people who see the news. So if you like Terraria or Starbound or just fighting in a random generated world please follow this game on facebook.

Game:
First off, to see the full development, check out Facebook (https://www.facebook.com/CaveCombat).
I've started this game a while ago in Java. As an avid Terraria fan I decided to make a game pretty much in the same setting focused on fighting each other in different modes: Simple, Co-Op, Team etc. At the beginning you and the other players start in the surface of the world and then go deeper and deeper, improving your armor, learning new abilities and fighting bosses until just one player or team survives.

This is coming from your statement "At the beginning you and the other players start in the surface of the world and go deeper and deeper, improving your armor, learning new abilities and fighting bosses until just one player or team survives," which I'm assuming is when it's team based. Also, when you're animating the sprites for this, please make the sprite animations fluid and not stiff like your inspirations. As much as I like Terraria and Starbound, the character animations are lacking in the body movement department.

Post by: Rayo on June 16, 2014, 11:59:05 pm: The player will be able to create his character, he/she will also be able to are female. Maybe I will also let the player be another species, but I will rethink that another time. An attraction that makes this game playable more times will be the skill system. Everytime you replay this game the player will find new abilities and unlock new ones - which change sometimes the appearance of the player.
