[SPARTAN]

SPARTAN

I created this game few years ago for YoYo games 'acient' competition. Thats not exactly my biggest, best or even newest project, but still - I proudly present "Spartan" action-fighting mini-game inspired by "300" the movie.

The main character is Leonidas, and his task is to defeat persian army. So he land in the middle of battlefield, and we have to help him to win the battle, or die with glory.

 There are three levels, each one gives us new enemies to slash, to unlock the third one - we must beat 2000 glory points. But its just a beginning. By killing enemies without beeing hurt, or making quick combos, we gain extra glory points, so the best score I saw was 22140. My personal best is 14300 so I still try to beat it sometimes, but belive me - its quite difficult

[BACK trilogy]

Hello All

My name is Arek, I am 22 years old, and I've spend almost half of my life as a game creation addict.

Yep, thats me (the one next to the donkey, not the donkey himself)

I'am creating freeware games since I was a kid, first it was just a graphic things, now I am desingning, programming, drawing graphics and animations, and lastly - composing music, and voice acting. I am still getting new experience and learning new stuff, which makes my games better and better every day. Now I am up to finish my first commercial game, but lets back to the beginning.

BACK trilogy
That was my first publicated projects. When I look at it now - I can honestly say - that those games wasn't really a piece of art, but I don't regret the time i spent on it - cause it gave me hell lot of experience.

BACK(2000)



So in the year 2000, first part of this dirty-nasty-and-violent-as-hell saga has been shown to the world. The game was the sipmlest platform shooter you coud imagine, all we got to do was shooting, and shooting, and shooting.. but game has completly untypical violent atmosphere, showing us everything what should be censored.
Yes the game was definetly for adults, but funny thing is, I wasn't adult while programing this game.

BACK2 (2002)


After two years I finished the second part of thise game. It had horrible system requirements, thats true, It was also very difficult, so not everyone could enyoy the gameplay, but those who did - allways says the atmosphere was even more "bad-ass", story was more intresting and fun.

BACKdown (2004)
(screenshots doesn't do a trick - you have to watch the movie to sense the atmosphere )



Last but not least - third part of this psychodelic story - was quite a revolution.
Its kinda mix of previous back episodes with tarantino$rodriguez-like story, and matrix-effects. Graphics was mutch better, and we had slowmotion and some freaky skills which made exterminating enemies more fun.

Games is pretty old, I wasn't master of optimalization then, so it still can keep framing on the oldest PCs, but it can still be addictive, and fun, for those who likes the color of the blood.

and then out of nowwhere:

SoulJah (also 2005, ... or 2006 maybe?)

SoulJah is a simple Rastaman, who lives in Jamaica and do his best tu live a good life.
But one day Babylon raise, and spread chaos on his homeland, so what he has to do is to stand up and fight.
And jammin'
SoulJah was intended to be my first shareware game. Its action-fighting-role playin game, it has over 50 skills to spend exp points on, several-hour gameplay, and nice chilly screenplay. Unfortunatelly I've never manadge to finish it, so for now its laying on my hard disk wainting for better time. But I'm sure in one thing - I will finish Souljah:Babylon burnin, even if I will have to create it from basics again. I still think thats one of my best games ever.

Spartan (2006)

I made this game for YoYo games competition, and it tooks me two months. This time we haven't got any screenplay or 'hours of gameplay', but what we have is simple, but fun and addictive war/fighting mini game bassed on '300' comicbook and movie. So we just have to kill as many enemies as we can, and more spectacular we do it, more 'glory points' we gain.


But all those games was just a lesson of acient history. Let see what's happening now:

Lucky Day

It was definetly most ambitions project I was ever try to make. This time I wasn't creating this game alone, we made a small, three people group, and try make a huge, really huge hibrid of gta, role playing game, platform shooter, and sneaking game like splinter cell. We've got almost half complete game and still try to finish this off.

T R.I.P

you think that games like resident evil, silent hill or dead space are scary? Then You really shoud see this game.
Tr.i.p is actually 99% done and i'am truelly hope to distribute it as my first commercial game.

I didn't really write about all my projects, couse I'm not writing a book, just saying hello, so see you all in other topics.

Thanks
