Ruins of Vha
About
A turn-based rpg set in a jungle ruin. You and a party of adventurers are on a mission to catalog each room and report back to your adventuring guild, the Company of Strangers. The party is forced to take shelter within the ruin to avoid a jungle predator, and are swept into an interior chamber. From there, the player must explore the ruin to find a way out, or to unlock its secrets. This game is intended to be a tight retro experience reminiscent of a Dungeons and Dragons adventure, and is meant to be completed in one or two play sessions. The build 0.11 is more of an early prototype, and I have plans for a more complete version in the works.
I forgot to mention in-game that you can use WASD or arrow keys to move for now. More options will be available in future versions.
Known issues in v0.12
- The menu button is a wiggly boy.
- Your party members sometimes appear during dialogue or cutscenes when they shouldn't (hanging out behind the player). Sometimes the player is frozen in a walking animation during these scenes.
- Description text that displays after placing an urn at the northwest statue is sometimes garbled at the start.
Fixes from v0.11
- Pressing "Quit" button in menus in the browser version no longer freezes the game. Instead, it displays a message for 5 seconds, telling you that the quit button is disabled in the web version.
- Fixed various typos, but I'm sure there are others still lurking in there.
- Background Music should now loop correctly.
- Urns and Statues should remember what state they should be in when returning from the camp scene or combat.
- A certain character will now correctly tell you when you've killed all of the monsters. More of their dialogue is now accessible.
- Statues and urns should no longer render in front of the player.
