Radial - Develoment Status and Ideas

Hey! We're Forever Untitled Studios, an up and coming indie game studio starting our first official project, Radial! Everything is being coded from scratch and targeted at PC, with Mac and Linux support, too, if all goes well. Details for the game will be listed below. [b]Mechanics[/b] - 2D platformer - Perma-death - Simple parkour system (Wall jumps, ledge grabbing, vines) - Interactable world objects [b]Features[/b] - Pets - Out-of-the-Box level editor - Mod system/API [i]NOTE:[/i] The entire main story and game, by us, will be built using the same level editor and mod API that ships with the game! [b]World Interactables[/b] - Pushable blocks - Buttons / levers - Toxic liquids (Lava, Acid, etc.) [b]Game World[/b] - Main race is the Tuberi of Tuberia, a potato-esque race of people - Full resolution pixel art, detailed animations - Main interior a castle/dungeon feel - Sparse player gear - Diverse bosses [b]Possible Additions from the Community[/b] - "Strogger" boss [from Strogger] - T-Rex/Tiger/Dragon/Unicorn boss [from summitslaughter] - Forum admins as enemies [from TribleDuker] - Game variance [from Dylanater11] - Some form of dangerous "radiation" [from Progo] - Boss that randomly teleports the player in the current dungeon area [from CastielHarkness] As for a rough story: you start off learning about your father, an adventurer. He feared he would not come back from a journey, so he wrote his will early. Along with the will was a short note. The will stated that if he died, the note was to be given to his son/daughter (you) when he/she had kids. The note tells of your father's adventures and tells you that he'd like you to carry on where he failed. This is how each new player incarnation starts, more or less. Each play through will continue from the beginning of the last dungeon area reached, so progress is kinda saved. Any gear found previously also becomes available to the new character in creation, as well as the use of a special character in place of a created one. Send us your ideas, nothing is entirely final yet! We want a lot of community input for this, though we'll keep it as clean and believable as possible (asside from wild easter eggs and references).
