Cendric: An RPG Platformer

[FRex]

Many people look for (free) indie games on itch.io (and gamejolt). I know there is such a section on Steam but I don't care and prefer itch.io for many reasons.

Last Pre-Release Update

After three years of developing Cendric, the release date for version 1.0.0 is now set to
02. March 2018, 9.00 PM (UTC+1); 12:00 PM (PST)
on Steam: http://store.steampowered.com/app/681460/Cendric/

For those who want a DRM free version or just a free version, compile it from Github, or wait for a release (we will most likely upload a 1.0.0 build to Github, but after the Steam release).

The game has reached an extent and complexity that I never even dreamt of when starting this project. Starting as a student & learn  C++ project, it consists now of over 100k lines of code, excluding external libraries. I know, measuring code by the number of lines is like measuring an airplane by its weight, but hey - it flies!

I started as a C++ noob and ended as a huge fan of the language, as well as SFML. Thank you for this journey!

I'll update you again as soon as the game is fully released. Until then, you can check out our community discord for questions, feedback, help or just screenshots and cat pictures, if you're interested: https://discordapp.com/invite/hsGSZ67

See you on the other side!

I'm definitely considering this.

Also, if you don't have any spare money, we published a release directly on GitHub, alongside with the code and everything:

The code also has finally a license and is now "correctly" open-source. Have fun playing and reading through the 100k lines of code!

Hi Ironbell,

I just realized i never posted it, but i just want to say i'm very impressed with your determination and i'd like to congratulate you on your awesome achievement.
Actually having the endurance / patience and imagination to finish a game like Cendric I think is remarkable and rare (for indies at least  ).
All the elements that went into design, creation, but also implementing unique mechanics - an RPG no less... Really impressive. Well done!

Your game is deff on my buy-list soon as i have found some spare time to do an indie round (which i'm planning somewhere before summer because ...well just because lol)

I think there's plenty of admiration for these types of projects, but it's not always expressed. Well certainly i'm not used to do so.

Ah, sorry, I haven't visited the forum for some time. Thank you so much for your kind words, I really appreciate it. And yes I've also been part of indie game teams which never finished because the scope was too big and teams fell apart. Being the sole person on which the game depends on helps a lot - either you finish it or you don't.

Hey congratulations on getting so much work done and actually staying at it for so long. Really impressive. I'm installing the game right now gonna try it out later.
