The legend of Adlez: Knil's adventure by ripatti

[raw]
made by ripatti for LD31 (JAM)
The legend of Adlez: Knil's adventure

Small Zelda clone.
Unfortunately not finished yet.
Done 2 temples of 3...
Also it's focused on funny dialogues.

You can consider it as Compo entry in point that all code and art was created solo from scratch, but in 72 hours. Sources included just fot fun.

Controls: Arrows, A
Q to switch display mode
ESC to quit

Will make Linux and Mac ports a bit later.
Also maybe will make full version (all that I planned to implement) on this week.

Note: I'm not native English speaker, text in the game may be awry sometimes.
IT IS NOT A JOKE! If you're native English speaker you may feel
physical pain caused by my nasty grammar. So be warned!

UPD from Apr 14 2015. A little bump before LD32. After a lot of work I've finished LoA v0.8.
What I've made:
- All 3 temples and all core questchains
- Combat system, a lot of monsters
- Saving the game
- Smooth fading of the screen, a few effects
- Fog of the war, now you cannot see unexplored areas
- Added Music. It's ripped from anime OSTs of *monigatari and No Game No Life
- More funny dialogues
- A lot of bugfixes

F.A.Q.
Q: I need more info
A: See readme.txt

Q: I've stucked
A: See walkthru.txt

Either the frame rate is horrible, or it lag's horribly

2Sharky: that's strange, because it runs in 60fps on my laptop and eats about 2% of the processor time.

Nice game! Really neat idea compressing the map all into one Screen. Good stuff! Lots of content for 3 days!

Great concept and interpretation of the theme. Would have loved to have been able to do more in the game itself such as combat, but what's there is enough to show the potential. Fantastic job.

Very cool game! I did start getting squinty-eyed after playing it for a while though. Luckily, A wizard taught me some "street magic", and my eyeballs were very pleased!

That was pretty sweet! I'm a huge Zelda fan, so naturally I had to try this. Wish you could have gotten all of the dungeons implemented, but there's still an impressive amount of content nonetheless.

Really interesting concept! Would love to see this expanded upon!

One of my favorite game!
Some strange things I've encountered :
- I can't give the book to the granny
- I've still have a key after the 2nd dungeon. (but I can't use it elsewhere)

The art is fantastic! Great effort, it's unfortunate it's not finished.

I really like the concept of this one, and it got a few laughs

2cutandreil: i had to time to implement grandma's reaction; without additional key in the second dungeon it's possible to stuck, but i have nice idea how to use this key in full version of the game (in this version not implemented yet).

Very nice graphics, it's like looking at a mini-Minish Cap :p
I would have liked to be able to stab some enemies with my sword.
It's a shame you couldn't finish it in time, I would like to see it when's it's done.

I love this so much! It's like you're playing a rom-dump. Even the text and the chars. so good. And the game itself is very fun and beautiful pixel art.

Even thought the game is not finished yet, I consider it one of the top tier games of the jam.
Nice graphic but is sad the lack of music..
BTW well done!

Damn, that was fun!:D Loved your dialouge, and the game layout. Really clever with the zoom function to. I did not love the darkened screen that much, but that's just a thing of habbit I guess:D Anyways, great fun, good job!:D

A whole little adventure game in one screen is a really nice idea. You even have different puzzles to solve etc. However I would have preferred, if the layout of the adventure would make a bit more sense. As it is you just had to stumble along like a clueless idiot and hope you would discover what you were looking for. Also can I already give the books to the grandma? I felt really bad for keeping them... But in general, I really liked the idea and dialogues of the game

This is awesome, you have a good sense of humor! I can forgive it not being finished because you've achieved so much in the time. I'm curious as to why you have to map all shuffled up ;)

Looking forward to seeing this finished.

Impressive work! Beautiful pixel art, and dialog, and so many rooms =O

You should totally put some sound in it! Anyway, good job! =)

Nice, but too bad it's still far from finished.
