Title: [Demo] Princess K!
Post by: Mamoruanime on October 14, 2014, 07:40:04 am: "Princess K!" is the engine baby of Link Quest set up as a single-screen level progression game similar to Bubble Bobble and Mario Bros~

Overall idea is to have around 100 levels and heavy emphasis on multiplayer and certain level hazards to avoid while popping enemies. Multiplayer and controller support has been removed from this demo due to lack of testing, but that's definitely the focus~

I have the demo located publicly at my Patreon: http://www.patreon.com/creation?hid=1081671&rf=283568

Working with more overlays; still using the NES palette, but doing things the NES couldn't have done.

Post by: Mamoruanime on February 18, 2015, 01:29:18 am: Taking Princess K in a new direction! I know that mockup I made was promising, but that style is very very time consuming to create. I scaled it back to a much simpler design.

Post by: Mamoruanime on February 19, 2015, 07:55:07 am: Haha yeah, I need to write controller support and custom key support. Should be easy enough to do.

I'm also going to go back to the original spec Princess K sprites. I'll just keep the BG's and enemies more simplistic.

The sprites, enemies, and level design in the last two demos (Princess K's sprites aside) remind me a lot of Metroid.

Post by: Mamoruanime on March 06, 2015, 01:26:06 am: Thanks! I'm trying to draw as much inspiration from games like Metroid, Kirby, and Mario I can to make a poppy fluid experience. There are a lot of planned mechanics that should keep it pretty fun as you progress >:D
