Hey realmers! =)

I’m working on a fan game inspired by the gameplay both RotMG and Touhou.
Hoping to release a demo of it on Itchio once the first stage is done. Here’s a quick video of a little test I made:

Why is it called Arena of the Mad King?
The game will be about boss fights. Very intense boss fights. The King of the realm has gone truly mad, and is subjecting the peasants to the horrors of his arena. It’s time to put an end to this. No one has made it out alive. Can you survive?

Stay posted!

So, I’ve been doing some tests with new sprites.

I’m going for more of a simple style that uses fewer shades (like old Wildshadow era sprites).
Any cool ideas for enemies? Let me know! Right now I’m been thinking about having:

A gorgon
A royal prophet/astronomer
An ancient lich
A demon warlord
The Mad King

So it’s been a while since my last update. I’m still working on the game!

I figured out a start screen and a boss phase system. It takes a while just to make one, and I’d like each boss to have at least 6, ideally 10. Before that though, I need to think about handling boss death.
