The Knight, Mage and King

The Knight, Mage and King is an isometric puzzle game built in roughly five days for Weekly Game Jam 199.

What worked...

• Traviso - the game's engine
• PixiJS - the engine behind Traviso
• The clickable "party button bar" down the bottom - previously users just clicked on the screen 
• Closely following the Game Jam's theme - Monarchy
• The sound and music - largely only added because of the Game Jam requirements

What didn't...

• No typings for Traviso
• The first game I made with Traviso - a bad date simulator 😢
• Isometric sprite/tile alignment - it was a nightmare! 🙁
• Surprisingly few isometric assets that matched with the engine and/or had diagonal orientations
• The tutorial has a jerky centralize bug
• The sound gets louder on the Simon Says game for some reason and I foolishly removed the prefetch audio code

Isn't there free stuff we're entitled to?

Yes! Most of it is best fetched unmodified from the sources listed below. But the character sprites in a Traviso-friendly format are not. So feel free to use your browser's network tab to download all the PNGs and their related JSON files for use in your own projects per the terms of the Liberated Pixel Cup. Even though it is not required by changing the path from "traviso/traviso.dev.js" to "traviso/traviso.js" or "traviso/traviso.d.ts" you can obtain the Traviso version I used (feel free to use these files yourself under the same terms as Traviso). Some parts of the project have restrictions on commercial use (the music) or other restrictions (the Desyrel font). The game is not open source at this time. 🙁
