Testers wanted: Avenie's Awful Adventure
Posted: Fri Jul 15, 2016 2:50 am
So this started as a brief example dungeon to be released alongside the Grimrock 1 Mega Pack (a Grimrock 2 conversion of all the good Grimrock 1 assets, including tilesets, items, monsters, etc.) but it grew into something a little more than that.
And now I need testers for it, so reply if you're willing to do that.
Story:
- your name is Avenie
- you're an aelbinne. not the lord of the rings kind with racist connotations, or the dungeons & dragons kind where you only exist because of the game designers' sexual fantasies. the middle ages celtic or icelandic kind where you're a mysterious magical creature rarely seen by humans and you're not evil exactly but you probably steal children or something
- you didn't steal any children, but did disguise yourself as a human and then got arrested for political dissidence
- everything really just goes downhill from there
Features and screenshots with some spoilers (if a screenshot is cut off, click to view it in full):
If you like puzzles, spectacle, or hitting monsters fast and hard, you'll probably like this mod.
note: the portrait was posted on these forums, and I'm using it for now, but I haven't actually been able to trace it back to its origin; image searches have turned up this:
which is the highest resolution version I've found, but is also obviously not the original. So expect the portrait to possibly change.
If you want to help playtest the mod when it's in beta, reply to this thread. Requirements for testing are:
1. you have Grimrock 2
2. you can be trusted to not post anything about the mod in public (all bug reports and any other feedback should ONLY be given through pm)
3. you're willing to wait a little while (the mod isn't quite in beta yet)
