the sound effects and the music.

The game is set in the prohibitionism era new orleans. A Secluded alchemist who
fled from europe because of her dangerous knowledge is working on the highest form
of alchemy process ,the philosopher stone.The first step to achieve this is creating
12 creatures from the supernal realms,each corresponding to a zodiacal sign.The
creatures are nurtured through their childhood with great care,as the alchemist
teaches them the beauty of the world,but nature takes its toll and the alchemist dies
of old age before the creatures are matured.without a mentor they scatter through new
orleans in search of a new life, all but one. Several years later Hamal,the aries
spirit, the only one who remained in the alchemist's house sees her spirit, who
promptly tells him to go and stop his brothers, because without a guide they became
tainted and they're now a danger to all the world. Desperate from loneliness and
consumed by the desire to see again her "mother" hamal goes off to fight those who
once he called brothers.

Twelve is basically a 2d action/platformer game: Your objective is to find and kill
your eleven brothers through a variety (6 for now) of highly explorable levels- all
while fending off their minions and avoiding the natural perils that awaits you. Being
the game focused on action,you'll be able to perform a wide array of moves, such as
double jumping and dashing : in addition the main character's innate ability to control
metal will allow you to attack in a wide variety of ways .Other than this you'll be able
to count on several alchemical items to make things easier in dire situations and you'll
eventually be able to steal your brothers specific abilities.-+\-

All of the programming is done in XNA 4. We plan on first releasing it on windows and after
it's finished we hope to publish it to XBOX 360 to.

we're still deciding if implementing some little graphic advenure-y things in these locations but we'll most likely go full blown action platformer as we planned..

we'll prolly come out with  demo later in the summer so stay tuned and give use some feedback XD

How is your art so great‽

Yeah, daaayung.  :-*

can't wait to get some feedback on the gameplay  :whome:

This is looking rad :)

will there be multiple endings? I don't want to kill my brothers. I want to unite with them and become the all-powerful Philosopher's Stone. I want to fulfill my destinyyyyyy.

We're still far from actually putting in the ending  ;) but multiple endings is defenitly on the table.

This is a video preview of the game so far, it shows some of the cemetery level and 3 of the 8 planned enemies that will be in the demo :) We still have to add a lot of the basics but i hope you like it. Feel free to post any comments!

The animation looks a little choppy, but I assume it's just youtube's framerate. The animations still look great though!

That's the screen capture program slowing stuff down, the game itself runs smoooooth ofc :)

A mutton with mutton? Approved!

I love it  :-* Though I found the combo to be a little bit out of place because the enemy seems hardly response to it(no hit stun etc.), but I'm sure you already know that since this isn't a final product yet.
Would love to give more feedback on the gameplay so PLZ GIVE US DEMO NAO! :'(

yes the interactons between characters needs some work , those are just placeholders to show off a bit, but our main focus in the earlier stages was on the level editor wich i must say is pretty much perfect by now.We're already tuning up the flow and the gameplay right now so don't worry about that X3
