Subject: Another lovecraft game!
Hi all! Cheers to Amnonhecht and Drunken master for the welcome.
I've stuck a few images in a folder(DD's games)for my take on the
Lovecraftian theme incase anyone's interested to take a look. The
game is based more on a generic spooky landscape rather than actual
book locations(though there are some locations that are based on book
ideas without specifically naming them). Areas include a manse house
on a cliff, Jetty, Abandonded lighthouse and boat wreck(seen in the
pic-to the left is the lighthouse). A haunted hill, a small portion
of the dreamlands, the Moon, Pluto(yuggoth), cemetery and mine. I'll
probably chuck in a few caves, trees ,outer space, and a bit of time
and dimension travel for good measure! Theres a few oddball things
as well like a lost Cthonian and H.P (lovecraft)'s library(in the
pic folder-watch out for the rats behind the books!) Where's Ryleh
you may ask? well to be honest I really didn't think I could do it
justice and it probably deserves a game of its own!
BTW apologies if youve not read the books-this must seem real
gibberish!
I love doing sprites- theres a few more of them in the willy and
monsters gif- wish you could see 'em move as they look dead cute.
From left to right, the mysterious space eater, zoog, ghoul, moon
beast, loiger, deep one, hound of Tindalos, Migo, Spawn of Cthulhu,
Maria and flying spawn. There's loads more in the game. It's
only gonna have 60 odd screens but will be quite intense.
BTW I'll probably change the name 'cos I think it's way to close to
Judy Moons(please see my last post about this!!!). The name was
actually inspired by "a very willy chrismas!"
And if anyones got any screen ideas/concepts please send 'em my way!
Hope you like!
DD
