An Epic. . .

Recommended Posts

So I'm making a video game revolving around a poem, in particular an epic. Choices the player makes affects this poem. That's the basic idea.

 

Since this is The Gallery, here is how it looks:

Here's random bits of concept stuff I've done:

So I have a few questions about it!

 

Does the art style capture your attention? Is it distinct, or dare say, unique? Would it be too bland spread over some undetermined hours of gameplay? Is the style worth the somewhat higher system requirements* based on looking at the screenshot above, and the concept art?

 

*: System requirements are somewhere in the range of a modern processor (Core 2 Duo, Core i3/i5/i7) and a non-integrated graphics card (else you won't get multisampling, which makes it all jaggy!). For reference, I get 30 FPS on an Atom-based netbook with an ION graphics chip, 4x multisampling, which is pretty good in my opinion.

 

That's the questions I have right now. Comments and criticism are also welcome! Thanks.

It is plenty unique actually, only other title that comes to my mind using similar style would be Escape Plan on PS Vita.

That concept art is lovely and the in-game screen is pretty enough to get me hooked, if the gameplay is good enough.

And I don't think these req's are over the top. I think most of the people actually can run it, but maybe you could add an option for turning off the multisampling then?

So I've noticed this thread's regulars all follow similar trends.

 

RPG is constantly dealing with psycho exes.

Muggi reminds us of the joys of polygamy.

Saq is totally oblivious to how much chicks dig him.

I strike out every other week.

Kalphite wages a war against the friend zone.

Randox pretty much stays rational.

Etc, etc

Thanks a bunch for the feedback!

 

I think it runs on ye olde Intel IGP on laptops with multisampling disabled. The game attempts to enable multisampling, and if that fails, disables it, so there's no problems if a graphics chip doesn't support it. It'll just look less pretty:

Thanks again :).

Black and white has definitely more characteristic.
