Games Lucy Lamplight

The Plan:
An old school jump 'n run ala "Donkey Kong Country" with a huge cast of characters and a complex Level Editor.

The Story:
It's about a forgotten and unfinished fairy tale and the ever-growing chaos that arose from its incomplete state. The once young and beloved Protagonist is now just a shadow of herself and nobody seems to remember her good deeds from the past. In these trying times, where distrust reigns and the birds are silent, a mysterious light guides the way to hope.



What happened so far:
We are a two-man-team and working on this Hobby project since 2017.
The idea for Lucy and her magic lamp came from a short film (it's German) I made in 2016.
So far, we have a working Level Editor with many features and the possibility to playtest it.
I also worked on a 3D stealth/puzzle gameplay, but it's on halt for now.
If you're curious, you can find all previous updates here on my website.

The newest Update includes:

• stackability for pushable blocks
• solid blocks can move and crush entities
• 2 new tile sets: Ice & Earth
• placeable Trigger zones
• scriptable Camera
• particle spawner
• new animations for Player character
• more projectiles for shooting NPCs
• water (kind of ...)

We think the project is now big enough to show it to a broader audience for critic and feedback.

 

Hi Polywonk.

The game looks wonderful and is mesmerizing to see a Donkey Kong Country like game with such quality with only 2 people in the studio!

Are you recruiting? I'm a music composer/pianist semi pro changing professionnal orientations to computers and coding.

I worked as game designer for my own horror game now left behind. I would love to make the music of the game.

If you want to hear my work, i'll send you all what I have in hand as compositions in PM.

Cheers

 

That's looking really impressive so far!

 

Thank you for the kind words. We appreciate that.
@Valkyrsch: I would love to hear what you have in store. Because music is just as important as graphics, but unfortunately something we can't do yet.

 

i like it, looks very inspired by those old games, looks very pro and fun, i want to play it

for not sure reasons, the opening animation reminds me of Tex Murphy : Under a Killing Moon, you might want to try and look at that video - game, not sure it's a good reference // it's a very classic title, could look nice with something like those characters, also perhaps Alone in the Dark 2, and perhaps also Bayonetta 1 // 2 . . .

whatever this is, it's more a build-the-game, than a game itself, it looks amazing, think it'd look amazing on SteamDeck, and for sure Windows, LINUX, not sure also Mac . . . .

amazing stuff, it's already 10 score, going to be watching this, etc etc . . . .
