2D RPG/ARPG Game

[Korvas]

***Update***

Hey everybody,

Just a quick update on the game. I've added the following:

• UI
• Keybind Menu
• Inventory
• Items
• Stats
• Levels/XP
• Map (not shown in the video)
• New enemies
• Pause/Death screen overlays
• Enemy, player, and stat scaling

A couple of other things - I've added many items and unique items to the game that alter spells and how the player behaves. I have also added a new boss model and a couple of other enemy models.

My goal is to have items and player state persist along with a functioning website within the next few months! Below is a screenshot and a link to the new video featuring some of the additions mentioned above. Please let me know what you think!

Latest Update - UI, Items, Stats, XP/Levels:





Hey everybody,

I just wanted to share a SFML & C++ project I'm working on. The project will be a 2D RPG/ARPG game. Currently, I'm finishing the 'engine' for the game, and just finished creating a map builder (using C# & SFML.Net). Up next is UI, entity stats, items (which have already been designed and developed, but haven't implemented into development yet), inventory, objectives, and scoreboard. Below are a few screenshots and some links to the videos I've posted on my YouTube channel. Please feel free to take a look and give some feedback.

Beginning stages of engine:

Nice!

How long have you been developing this?

I like the character graphics. Are those pre-rendered?

Any reason of using C++ for the engine and C# to make the map editor?

It looks pretty interesting, good job!

Thanks AFS! I've been developing this project off and on for about a year. I wish I could dedicate more time, but other priorities kind of take over. I try to squeeze in as much as I can between semesters  . As for going with C# on the map editor, I really wanted to give SFML.net a try. I was also working on a C# project at work and thought I'd get a little extra practice in while at home.

nice spell effects

Thanks jamesL! The spell effects are one of my favorite parts of the game so far. Definitely challenging and a bit of a learning curve for me, but a lot of fun.

Cool, love the spells and the graphics! What will the story/theme be for the game? And where will the RPG part come into play? ARPG like Dark Souls with only a few decisions?

Thank you Ironbell! As for ARPG/RPG - this game will be similar to Diablo 2, Diablo 3, and Path of Exile. I really want the player to have the feeling of character progression from an RPG perspective, but also have the 'action' feeling of dodging, attacking, and itemizing from an ARPG perspective.
