Rising Flames UPDATE: 11/16/08 - Labmonkey - 01-11-2008

Rising flames tries to take out the monotny of mirage based game. It's battle system, which only allows players to use spells to fight enemies, forces you to actually think about how to go about killing things. The cooldown system causes you to not always use your most powerful spell, as it will leave you defenseless for a few seconds. Unlike other games, there is no frustrating mana limit, that will cause you to run back to a town or carry potions with you. PvP (which has already been tested) is very fun in Rising Flames. Unlike other games where you simply walk up to the person and hold control, in rising flames it is actually a battle. You have to dodge other spells, and catch your opponent off guard to win.
Now to talk about spell selection. Whenever you level up, you will be asked if you would like to learn new spells. You will be able to replace 1 of your spells with spells that are availible to you. Choosing the right spell, which may vary from healing spells, slowing spells, area of effect spells, projectiles, or a combination of those, will determine your battle strategies and how well you fight.

For a limited time, I will be accepting custom characters. You can make one here.
Male Character Generator
Female Character Generator
Just post up the file in the topic and i will convert it and put it in the game. When we release, you can have it as your sprite.

No you won't. Nobody ever does.
Re: Rising Flames UPDATE: 11/6/08 FIRST MAP DONE! - Labmonkey - 17-11-2008
We will find that out when next time comes :wink:
But I don't want this turning into an argument as so many of my old topics here became.
I forgot to update the first post, but I finished turning projectiles. Which means you can shoot a fireball, and decide which angle it will turn at, allowing it to aviod objects in the middle of the map.
I have had a few fights with people on RF. It is quite fun

Sounds like a nice system.

you're welcome to try it
Re: Rising Flames UPDATE: 11/16/08 - Rory - 17-11-2008
:mrgreen: Heya. Just wanted to tell you that, that if you want to improve on the look of the sprites, you should, for the trees, take a small circle of the grass, and make it darker, place it under the tree sprite, its the best way to make a shadow without alpha channels, but you'll only be able to put that tree on that grass.
