ArchonDS v0.1

[wraggster]

News/release from Exdream

After a long semester at the university and a conversion to C++ the first version of ArchonDS is available.
In this version you can only play the battle between the archer and the dragon (without AI) in the woods, but the complete data structure and collision engine for the battle mode is ready now. I only have to add more characters and arenes.

Controls:
Archer:
- Move: Pad
- Attack: L

Dragon:
- Move: X, A, B, Y
- Attack: R

Restart: START
Play archon theme: SELECT

I you have some good playersprites, backgrounds, soundeffects or MODfiles, please send it to me!

Just two new screenshots with some new stuff:
- two new arenes: desert and swamp
- new weapon: lightball (wizard)
- animated powerpoints on the "chessboard"





But not enough for a release of version 0.2 :-)

Wow, looking good exdream, Archon is one of my all time favorites. I played on the C64. Thanks! Keep up the good work. Out of curiosity, what size are the player sprites?

[eXdreAm]

Thanks! The sprites are 16x16 pixels. Mostly new colored sprites from Final Fantasy III (NES) and IV (SNES).

Hi everybody!

ArchonDS Version 0.2 is now available!

You can play 4 different arenes and 4 characters:

archer vs. basilisk @ forrest
wizard vs. basilisk @ desert
archer vs. dragon @ swamp
wizard vs. dragon @ snow

I also added a mosaic effect when you were hit by an enemy.

Now you can move the units on the lower screen with the stylus! I have filled the chessboard with all sprites, which I have made yet:



With the SELECT-Button you can change the arenes and characters.
