Cohorts of Kargonar
« on: August 10, 2009, 03:26:52 PM »
Hi fellow browsergame developer mates :)

I managed to code the first little quest for Cohorts of Kargonar, and who should I share this overwhelming feeling with if not with you guys :) Although my video editing skills are terrible, lean back and enjoy ^^

Download it here.

This is a private preview video for bbgamezone's community, so please don't share the link. Thank you.

All the best
Doidel

EDIT: Concerning the music: Yes it's not mine and sorry I could not resist ;)

Oh man, you must have tons of graphics in your game :)
beautiful, the view on city has really great feel, looks majestic...and combined with the music...

I must say I'm really surprised.
And the portrait guy did an excellent job

----
It would be nice though if the video was a bit larger, the texts are hard to read (at least for me). When there was preview of new features in Dawn of War 2, devs released 745MB video, so you don't have to be afraid, I think today it's not a problem.
I know it's just a teaser, but at least the text

I would suggest another option to advance in dialog other than cross in the upper right corner as it's far and hard to hit and this sign actually means to quit something, not continue, so it might confuse someone.... some bigger button + possibly key bound to it (enter?)

Hey you two :)

I could update the video's quality a little, but I didn't manage to create something like HD-Quality.. Hope it's still readable enough now.

@Nox: I'll consider your suggestions (thanks for making them), however since I have barely shown the the game layout to people in its "full shape" there will probably follow loads of changes ^^

Thanks for your feedback!
Have a nice day

ill join the 'looks great' crowd, is that a single image or is it composed of multiple tiles?

Heya

Thanks for the pms and posts, glad you like it.
@Scion it's a single image, no tiles :)
And maybe another 2-3 month, then I might need your feedback ;)

Cheers

Very nice
You could have shown the forbidden terrain more, but anyway, nice
Will buildings be highlighted somehow when selected?

Hey Nox

I updated the video, so it shows a little more of the editor.
I did not intend to implement any sort of highlighting, however, if requested, it sure will be doable somehow. So far buildings simply are clickable and a panel would appear, maybe with the picture of the house with it, what do I know...
I'll post here 2 month later when this whole stuff is bound to the game and improved :))

All the best

Hey guys

Here's a little update on CoK:
- The latest video is about the "Eventblocks" feature of CoK's administration. I'm talk there and give an insight of how things work with this new tool. Don't mock me for my English ^^. Download it here.
- The "What are you doing? Let's create a bbgz list" progress video - it's sort of an overview. Have a look here.
- The village editor, a video I made a while ago. Watch it here.

If you have questions, suggestions, feedback, whatever, don't hesitate to post it here!

All the best
Doidel

Absolutely excellent Doidel! I can see how this will make adding events to your game incredibly simple.

Nice vid. too. ;)

It does look pretty interesting... I might have to check it out while I'm deployed.
