Tikka Dungeons

[tikka]

Tikka Dungeons is an upcoming adventure/ tactical RPG game for the GP2X.
It will be a commercial release and will be available as a download archive.

The game was involved into the GBAX 2007 contest with a poorly and quickly released demo.
A lot of work has been done since, and a new demo will be available soon

Check out the website: it contains more information and other early screenshots of the game.

More to come very soon...

omg, wow. This looks very impressive.

A tactical RPG would be great on the GP2X. I can't wait for the demo.

 

[norm]

looks pretty sweet

hope all goes well, looking forward to the demo

Looks great indeed, good luck with the project!

 

[yodaofborg]

Looks sweet! Cannot wait for the demo.

Good luck!

 

[xcen]

yeah I'll definitely check out the demo...

This will be a commercial game then? How much will it cost?

 

[tikka]

Yeah, it will be a commercial game

The price hasn't been decided yet, but it should be around 9 UK Pounds

 

[zacaj]

Is it full 3D, prerendered, or just really good 2D?

 

[kouky]

looks cool

Marvelous sreenshot. Good luck for you and your team, tikka.

Zacaj, the character will move on a rail, as in Valkyrie Profile

But as a GP2X is not a PS2, the background will be prerended 3d

 

[moxie]

Indeed - This looks a lot better than the GBAX version.

This looks like an awesome project... may well be the most exciting GP2X release for '08 so far. Good luck, I'm looking forward to it.

A couple of new screenshots have been added to the website gallery showing more pics of the menus.

The demo is still planned for the end of the month: in about one week

 

[yodaofborg]

This is one of my most anticipated releases for a while

Its the end of the month by the way

 

[tikka]

I'm afraid you'll have to be a little more patient (a couple of days) since the current state of the game doesn't meet my quality expectations for a public demo release!

But yeah, the wholeproject is going pretty well

very nice, the only thing that left me disappointed is the fact that you saved your prerendered scenarios in 32k colors without an error diffusion filter before, this creates color bands that makes your scenarios looks ugly for a commercial game, for example the roof here

If you've the original true color files just apply an error diffusion filter before saving in 24bit to have a better quality, expecially on prerendered 3d that uses a lot of color scales.
I know it's a WIP so good luck! it's an huge and interesting project.

Don't worry about those screens quality.
They're not so good because they are screenshots from the PC version of the game running under OS X.
The game looks better on the actual screen of the console.

The demo has to be delayed by one more week, time to get things more polished...

 

[pkostrze]

I have to say, so far so good. Error diffusion issue, prerendered 3D, bad screenshots... none of that even touches the coolness I'm seeing here. I can't wait until the demo... but I will.

Some updates:

The demo is still not ready, but gets improved every days.
The more it will be delayed, the better it will be

The gallery of the website has been updated with new screens reflecting the gameplay improvements:

The final game will benefits from touchscreen functions, but will also be playable on F-100 models!
