Darkness Awaits

Leadwerks3D will ship with a finished game demo to demonstrate how to use the software. Darkness Awaits is a third-person dungeon explorer with a 45 degree view. It's like a cross between Diablo and Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past. This is an idea I had back in my very early days of game development, before I even learned to program. This was originally done in the Quake 1 engine. It didn't really go anywhere, but what we had was awesome. You could run around and shoot skeletons with flaming arrows, in a third-person view. B) My job was actually map design. My favorite part was this cozy little house you started off in with a fireplace and a warm feeling, before going outside into a snow storm to kill monsters.

 

And so, the project is being resurrected to demonstrate game development with Leadwerks3D. Below are a few possible logo styles. Which is your favorite?

These are images from years ago. They aren't meant to be final logos, just concepts. Most of them are too blurry to read clearly.

 

I kind of like them all. :)

By the way Josh, I applaud the idea of shipping a game with the engine. Its really the best manual you can create.

 

yes... i second that...

I'd very much would not wanna see finished game demo with the shipped product if this delays shipping (and to my understanding, it will)

 

2 months after release, with some major bug fixes done... then I applaud the idea of shipping a game demo with the engine 8)

 

But to answer to your question, 3 or 4.

I'm with you, GP but Josh is WAAAAY faster than we are. Funny idea Rick. Wish we could help Josh with the game but we can't, for several reasons.

If there's no finished documented game, even a simple one, then there's no product.

 

So LE2 doesn't exist?! Lies, all my life?

I guess this boils down to defining "simple one".

 

I never needed one when working with LE2. Tech demo + tutorials would be more than sufficient.

 

I do understand want for doing complete game, but it will delay the LE3D product launch (by definition: if you work on game, you are not working on the engine)

 

Not going to argue about this one, but would really hope to see this re-considered... if "simple" means bit like tech demo with documented examples, that sounds relatively ok...

Also, I think asking forum chaps to provide short game demos featuring some functionality might go a long way. I'm pretty certain there's folks here who would be interested in adding short example code in the side of the LE3D.
