Hi guys, figured I'd post about this little project I'm working on with a friend and see what you guys think.



Online Multiplayer Arena fighter - Bounty Hunt

The premise of this game is to fight and collect money. Everyone trying to get more gold than everyone else. One hit deaths, etc.. Along the lines of games like Tower Fall.

Abilities are basic, attack and evade, possibly a 3rd unique ability depending on character type. Extremely easy to pick up, with a high skill curve in certain parts of the game.

The artist will be creating a few different biomes, island/jungle/mountain/ice etc -- There will be boss fights and mobs, where you fight for more gold and gems, and rare drops. You will be able to pick up items that have their own special features like shooting projectiles, gold magnets, better swords, movement boosts, shields, etc..

Your progress is based entirely on the amount of "bounty" you collect. (More on this later)

Still working out a lot of details, but would definitely like to see if this sounds like a fun game to play.

Here are the pictures of some sprites (zoomed in 2x)

Development is in early stages yet, but we'll be targeting Windows, Mac, Linux, iOS, Android and Browsers.

Here's an animation of a parallax prototype I've been playing with.

If you're a PixelJoint user, you've probably heard of him.

Wow. I completely missed you stating who it was.

Anyways, looks great! The tiny sprites look pretty fun to make.  

Sexy. Is this using the game engine you've been working on?  

"Booty Arena" sounds better :[

Yep. It's inspired by the Graal workflow, (RC, Scripting, FileBrowser, etc) with improvements wherever I could think to add them.

I'll probably be posting an engine showcase soon.  

I would play this  

Looks pretty cool.

But the game seems pretty boring.

From what I'm getting, all you do is kill people for their money.

Somewhat of an allegory of Downtown Chicago.

But hey, improvements can always made.

Ps. The sprites for the characters look amazing.  

So this looks entertaining! DO follow through with custom character traits. This is multiplayer, but is this mmorpg styled, or small server styled? Or player hosted? Confused on that part.

MMO style.  

Is this on PC or iOS/Android? Because local multiplayer on iOS for its type of game sounds awesome.

Edit: disregard, I suck at reading. Looks great regardless, keep up the good work!
