Title: Wizard's Ashes
Post by: Catacomber on March 29, 2009, 04:23:53 AM
We are developing this as a straight adventure game.  You play as Ingrid Victoria Root, a ranked demon slayer, held captive by a tyrannical king who sees a way to use your powers to banish some demons who threaten his family.  Your chances of success are good and you make good advantage of your freedom.  In fact, you might even be able to overthrow the old tyrant as you are a cunning, intuitive girl.  You like to help people and they can be grateful in return. You can even converse with friendly animals who might help you (or hinder you) as you were granted that gift by one of your demon conquests. There are over 62 levels with many quests and many puzzles that are built into the game. 

We have new graphics and will have a new demo soon.  Say hello to Ingrid.  If you play the game, you have to love her as you'll be seeing a lot of her.  :  )  She's a dark, beautiful cat.  :  )

Although our game isn't out yet cause I had to spend a huge amount of time on the graphics and am now finishing up the coding, you can buy the CD of music from Wizard's Ashes and listen to sample tracks here:

Hit Music, CD Store.  :  )  All proceeds go to the musician, George Bolger.

Can you guess my favorite?  Katt's Cove.  :  )  The music suits my personality.   :  )

George is a martial arts and music teacher. 

You can also listen there to tracks from our old game Hero of Lukomorye.  : )  My favorite there is Haunted Forest of BabaYaga.  But that is the old, we're focused on the new.  :  )

Two more screenshots--Mushroom Gatherer and the Captive Mermaid--she gives you a quest to take a letter to her sister in the ocean under the waves and to bring her back a conch shell so she can once more hear the sound of the ocean which, in captivity, she'll never really hear again.  She was captured into a circus side show. I haven't coded her dialogue into the game yet but this is what it says more or less:

Ingrid: Oh! You're so beautiful!

Aeryn: Yes, but sad. I must stay in this tiny bowl when once I had the whole ocean to play in. I never knew how good life was until I was captured by a landling. Please, if you go to the ocean, dive deep and bring this letter to my sister, Korrie. I’ll toss it to you. I wrapped it in sealskin for waterproofing.

Ingrid: I wish I could help you more.
Aeryn: Just warn my sister of the landlings and bring me back a conch so I can once more hear the sound of my beloved ocean.

Am really learning a lot about the overlay function--it has numerous possibilities.:

Ingrid Victoria has a blog here:
