It is a side-scrolling adventure, a tale of folklore, forests, feuding and fear.

The quote is from the announcement page. I saw the 4 words starting with F and the terrible pun/riff on '4X games' ( "eXplore, eXpand, eXploit, and eXterminate." )  sprung to mind. I'm a terrible person, and I'm sorry. I'll  stop hijacking your thread now go stand in the corner.

:D

The first thing I thought when I read about the game was 'Ah, so it's a 4F game...?' 

Thanks! What's 4F?

Looking really interesting, and the concept art is gorgeous.

Wow, yes, that looks so much shinier and metallic-er 

Been busy, but still working away. I was working on some enemies based on a 'Golden Army' kind of idea - magical automatons in a variety of shapes and sizes, all part of said army.



The last two rows are WIPs/roughs. Center left is the character sprite.

Here's another one:



'Reverend Oliver'

I really enjoyed making them, so I can make you some more if you like

Not quite the same style as the rest, but they were good practice:

I feel like I'm being watched now... 

@phubans - i should change my avatar to another SD character then, to keep you on your toes

Or you could change it to your TIGL incarnation :D (for a short while at least).

More on topic, I love those screenshots, such pretty environments and varied flora.

Cute. I'll see about doing a few of these tonight :D

Your link appears to be broken ( but this might work ). If you can't afford an iPhone or an iPad, I would suggest you look for a used iPod. New they go for around $250 or so, I think? You might be able to find one used for $100 to $150.

That's the basic idea, as well as meeting other local people whom you wouldn't otherwise have the chance to meet in person. You also get the opportunity to show what you're working on, and be shown what others are working on too. You can get feedback, if you have something playable, or converse with folks about subjects of interest.

The animations in the vid look amazing, and the variety of actions is really impressive. 

Faraway was submitted to Gamma IV, yes.

Graphics are pretty, and the game itself looks interesting. Looking forward to seeing progress on this one

You can do either, really. If you already have a project, it gives you a good chunk of uninterrupted time to work on that without distractions. Or you can use the time to prototype a new idea and see what kind of reaction it gets from other jammers. Up to you.

It would be Puro Resulin. You forgot two whole characters. The 'Li' and the 'n'.

Not really, in Japanese it's common to contract two words and chop the end off. Classic example: Pokemon = Pocket Monster. The "suta" bit at the end is left off. Also, Famicom = Family Computer, the "puta" bit is left off.

Plus, there is no "li" sound in Japanese. They have trouble pronouncing it. I believe it's Chinese that has a "li" sound. Japanese use Ra, Ri, Ru, Re and Ro.

Also, not that I trust Wikipedia with anything, but Puro Resu is an accepted contraction... Having said that, Puro Resuringu would still be recognised (プロ レスリング)

Since this is the internet and tone of voice is lost, I'm not trying to sound stand-offish with this post! Just a gentlemanly correction. 

Going with the whole contraction thing, you could just call the game 'Puresu Resu' ((ex)press wress').

I had a great time, loved hanging out and trying out all the games. Faraway is like a day one purchase if you have an iDevice.

Very good idea, organising a Spanish-speaking indies group on FB. If it gets any traction it can always be expanded/spun-off into its own website later.

Buena idea
