"Opac's Journey" will tell the story of Opac's highly important mission to the surface to intercept Maya. As you can tell, we decided to tell this story via a 2D platformer (with a retro feel) which we felt was better to highlight Opac's acrobatic abilities and mega-agility. This story is essentially the prologue to the "The Legend of Kilflame" through Opac's eyes, and we hope it offers players a suitable introduction to our unique world of Ophidian Wars.Gameplay-wise, we've focused on dynamic platforming - heavy on acrobatics and flashy, satisfying maneuvers. Blasting off steam geysers, soaring over deep abysses, and scaling up/down walls will be part of your repertoire. However, players will be rewarded for thorough exploration, as Opac can find unique items which grant special upgradable abilities. Paying attention to clues and visual cues is advisable!
I am excited to tell you that this game will be released Q1 2010. We hope you're salivating a little extra. I will be releasing more updates and previews over the coming weeks, so please stay tuned and offer support/feedback.Screenshot 1: Opac finds Quan Core, home to the thoughts of his ancestors and kin. They will guide him and provide hints at how to navigate the caves.
Screenshot 2: Opac leaps across a large abyss, and using his ability to glide, aims for a secret doorway tucked into a ledge. He may need to upgrade his gliding ability if he's to make this one. :)
It certainly looks nice so far. I have to say I'm a sucker for this kind of game as well as the other one you are working on, so yeah, count me as salivating a little.
ReplyDeleteWell I'm certainly salivating! I really like the retro vibe and how the player will have the opportunity to play through Opac's point of view. I really look forward to seeing more of your creative work and making your (well deserved) mark in the gaming industry.
