Hi all,

Hi all !

No update of the game yet even though some stuff has changed.

No, today, I'm here with an announcement !

Spooky Heroes will be released for Alpha funding on Desura !

Check out the game's page : Click here !

As to why I proceed like this, it's mainly because I noticed a few players are willing to pay for an alpha if they think the game is worth it, and more than that, a customer who paid the game will be more inclined to give feedback (or insults) about the game, which would allow me to improve it !

So if you feel like supporting this game, don't hesitate to help me !

I'm planning to try to release the game on GoG and Steam too but I would like to perfect the game first with Desura !

Finally, I have updated the game video to make it look like more professional : Check it out here !

I hope you'll enjoy this news as much as I do !

Have a nice day !

Hi all,

Been a long time since last update. I've been quite busy with other projects but I have more time now and decided to improve the game immersion. It'll still take me more time to release the next version but I wanted to share what's going on in the project and show it's not dead at all !

In order to improve the overall feeling of the game and keep it as simple as possible with a little cartoon feeling, I decided to change the way menu is displayed as well as working on the game story. To do that, I created a story book which will contain all menus as well as display the story. Another thing added are vignettes giving the feeling of paper cut drawings which are then used to illustrate the story and draw the world map. Here are a few screenshot of the result so far :







I'm also working on changing the way heroes interact with NPC to give more life to dialogs as well as adding an achievement system for players who wishes to track their accomplishments.I also have a few more ideas to improve the game content and you should see the result in the next few weeks hopefully.

The game is available in alpha funding on Desura for those who didn't know (click here). I didn't have time to communicate about it and wanted to improve the game before starting but well, here is an opportunity to do it.

Hope you'll give it a try !

Hi all !

Eight months without news. Quite a long time for such a small project. I've been quite busy with work and it left me little time/motivation to work on the game. One good side of such a situation is that it gives time to think about what needs to be done in the game.

And now that I found some time to work on it, I've been able to finish the next version of the game. This version mainly concentrates on adding new powers to enemies as well as adding decors to the game which was too empty to my taste. I still have some work to do on the graphics to improve them a little but I think I reached the visual feeling I wanted. The game now has a Spookyedia to allow player to check all enemies and boss powers after the first encounter. I also added a small story book as an introduction. Still need to work on the text though...

The new version is only available for Windows at the moment and still uses the alpha fund system of Desura. I'll add a free demo version next year for those of you who have not had the opportunity to try it.
