Hi
With the version 2.015d, I have tried to create some scene for an old project I have begin some years ago.

I would like to create a sort of cartoon adventure-action game (in 3D).

For the moment, I have only a few gameplay like :
- clic and go
- fight ennemy/die
- I have worked too a few on some shaders, and have help from Preben (thanks again ).

Here are my first tests and screenshots :

Well done, this looks great! Also good to see another 3D project with great graphics using shaders and still getting 60fps!
Fantastic, will keep an eye on this

Hi
Thank you for your comments.

Quote: "and still getting 60fps"
In fact, it's always necessary to optimize tour game, when you use 3D.
For example, I use a cameraRange(130) + fog (from Preben ) + another culling technic to not display too much faces.

I have made some artworks (props, ennemies, npc...)


A video of the creation of the artwork :



And some new screenshots :

Looking awesome. Two questions:

Which level editor do you use. My guess is Blender.

The art program, is that Artrage you have used in the video?

Hi

Quote: "Which level editor do you use. My guess is Blender."

Yes, I use blender as a level editor.


At the begining of this project, I have started my own level editor, which isn't bad ^^, but Blender is more powerfull .

In blender, I have writen a python script to export my current level (only selected object and lights).
I use blender to create all my 3D models, UVtexture, texture (first colors), animation and level editing.
I export the 3D models in obj (if they aren't animated or have a unique uv layer), and in collada (dae) if they are animated or have several uv layer.

I try to create the model with less faces as possible.
For the enemies, they have got between 500 and 1000 faces.
The rocks has 200 faces, tree 100 and the other little assets less than 50.


Quote: "The art program, is that Artrage you have used in the video?"

No, it's a software I have developped this year (in purebasic), in april/may. Its name is animatoon (you can find more informations here : http://animatoon-blendman.blogspot.fr/). I use it to create a lot of my textures and color all my artworks.
This software is great to simulate watercolor effect, and color blendmix.

I have tried to create a version with AppGameKit in 2014, named "animatoon" too, but I have some bugs I can't fixe (because of agk bugs it seems). Perhap's they are fixed now, I haven't tried to compile my last version.

I don't know when I could post a version for download, because I still have some bugs and don't have time to fixe them ^^.

Very impressive! Is your software tablet compatible, means does it use pressure sensitivity when using a tablet?

This looks really promising The gameplay is very important for games like this. I think your art looks a bit washed out. I would prefer more color and contrast. Look at other games in the genre like Ratchet and Clank.

This reminds me a lot of some of the Pangea Software games I used to play growing up (of course nicer looking). That's a really good feeling you have going there.

Hi

Thanks you a lot for your kinds comments !

Some news about the game :
UI
- The GUI is ok. All the buttons works (drink potions, UI stat, spells...)

- Some menus are ok too. I have get the graphics & code from one of my other Project "Arkeos", I will do some new UI later.
- Menu Status (player caracteristics + bonus level (bouton "+")
- Menu inventory + button + equipment
- Menu spells : informations, buttons and increase the level of the selected spell
- menu quest : not finished, only the Ui is ok.


Action (Fight, drop...)
- Drop : now, when a monster is destroyed, we can win : moeny, xp and drop (potion, monster ressources, equipment...).
- equipment : if we equip our hero, the stats are boosted (the equipment doesn't appear on our hero, maybe later if possible).
- Xp & level : ok for the player. When we win a level, we have 5 level points and 6 spells points (to increase the spells).
- Monsters/ennemies : when I create a group of monsters, they can have a level, and some of their properties vary thanks to this level (life, damage, armor, xp...)



Misc
- NPC : ok for simple NPC (who gives only a few information). I will add the "quest NPC" later.
- FX : I have add a personnel 3D particle system. I can create : fire, smoke, explosion, acide or other fx like that, magic, rain, snow, particles in the air (sort of lucioles) and other great fx. I have to add some other cool stuff, like : rotationFX, scale FX and some other movements for the particles (now, I have only : translation, I would like to add : circle, spiral, and others)


@Yodaman Jer : thanks a lot

@ Crazy Programmer : thanks, I'm inspired too ^^.

@ MucMac : you can find the fog shader on the Preben Thread or in the great "shader" thread .

@Digital Awakening : thanks.
Quote: " I think your art looks a bit washed out. I would prefer more color and contrast. Look at other games in the genre like Ratchet and Clank. "

I'ma big fan of game like Ratchet &Cclank, and Jake &Daxter. But Dragonia isn't a platform-action like those games . I have another project (named Puf & Squeeze) which is a platform game like Ratchet & Clank or Jake&Daxter ^^.
Dragonia is more a mix between : adventure (exploration, story), action(fight) and RPG (modify the stats of your hero, have an equipment, collect some objects... A reference, I have some games like Torchlight.
For the color, I will see if I can boost the colors.
Contrast : I think it's perap's because of the fog, that I lost some contrast in the scene. But it create some atmospheric ambiance too (and it's good to not have too much objects drawn on the screen ^^). I will see if I can boost the contrast too (perap's with a fullscreen shader, if it's not too much GPU/CPU consuming).

@Unlikely : I don't know the pangea games ^^. I've seen some good screenshots on their site. With Dragonia, I would like to create a little "cartoonish adventure-RPG".

@Blink0k : Thanks, it's surprising to not have more 3D games made with AGK2, because it's really great to make games ^^.

Hi

Some news :
- Friends : now, we can have a friend who follow us and can do 4 actions (attack alone, defend-me, heal me, defend-me and heal me if I need). The model isn't the final model3D, for the moment I use another chracter form another of my project.
- Ennemi : I have created a new ennemi. I have animated him (and found a "bug" with object shader (animation doesn't work with shader) ^^)
- I have integrated an event system, specialy for weather (it rain randomly). I have a day/night cycle integrated too.
- magic spells : now, I have several types of spells (mobile, fixe, damage/ add life..)
- I have add some information when we select a monster (level, life, damage, resistance, xp given...)

Test
- I have tried a joystick (on another project), and it's great to use on a 3D plateform game (one of my next project). Agk is awesome .

Screenshots :

Hi

Sorry to not post news about this game.

I have worked on other cool games (I can't tell more), and on my other 2D games : fightfortress and Towerbots.

I hope to continue to work on dragonia in may or june 2016.

Quote: "What will be your target market?"
By Target market, do you mean the public or the platform ?
The public : I think it's for people who like RPG/adventure games (not only kids ^^).

platform : for the moment, it's only for android. I would like to sale it on steam, but I don't know how to use agk and steam ^^.
I don't have an ios licence / mac Computer, so ican't do it for ios (unless I find another way to send it to ios, or if the game has a big succes on android ^^).

Is this made in Tier 1 or Tier 2? If it is Tier 1 I would like to know how you designed the code for something so complicated? It really looks so good.

Hi

It's made in Tier1 (basic).
What do you mean by design the code ?

In general, for all of my games, I use this hierarchy :
- Define : constants, variables
- init : OpenWindo/resolution, load graphics (images for UI), models3D, textures, sounds, shaders... with a loading screen
- then start the main loop.

I use a variables "State" and change this variable change the state of the game (in the main loop):


GameScreen(), OptionScreen(), StartScreen() are like that :


An important method is to create a file for each elements :


And of course use #include to include those files ^^.


To create my models & Animations, I use blender.

For the levels, I make them in blender and export them as a txt file.
I would like to use Guru2Agk, so I wait it's finished ^^.

In a game like that, you have to be very organised, and search for optimisations.
So, the models 3D must be with less face as possible, texture too not bigger.

For the elements (monsters, weapons, armors, spells, objects in inventory...), I use a lot of "pre-made presets" (internal function) or txt file for descriptions.
I don't load all the elements at start of a levels, I crete the monsters, treasure dynamically, when the heor is near a zone for example.

I hope those details can help . If you need any informations, tell me and I will tried to answer ^^.

blendman... your a very good 3d artist!

my limitation is the ability to draw in 3d and thats why i have started working with voxels instead for my character creation.
since im not good at drawing i took the time to learn some 3d fundamentals in hopes it would aid me.
Do you have a full rpg story written for this? I did have one for my rpg but im currently rewriting it.

anyways... this project deserves praise! looken good!

Hi SoftMotion3D

Thank you for your kind comment.
Quote: "Do you have a full rpg story written for this? "
I have write several stories, but I don't know if I will use it for this game.
I don't know if I will use a too much complexe story, because it's my first 3D game with AGk and I would like to have the game quickly finish (for the moment, I work on FightFortress and Towerbot, my 2 games in 2D) ^^.
Another matter is that my english isn't good and I'm afraid that the story will be incomprehensible ^^.
So the story will be probably a few "basic" .
