Dungeons of Ool - W.I.P.

DarcTyde

Dungeons of Ool is a large platformer heavily influenced by Shareware EGA platform games of the early 1990s.

Squire Reggie dreams of becoming a knight, but nobody takes him seriously due to his short stature. In a quest to prove his worth to King Alf III of Ool, Reggie takes it upon himself to face the dangers of the infamous Dungeons of Ool, and return with the fabled treasures said to be kept within.

The game features 16 color EGA graphics and simulated OPL music, as well as an optional CRT mode to capture the look, sound and feel of games of the early 1990s, but with a few modern day tidbits thrown in.

Looks cool. Out of curiosity how do you emulate 16 colour EGA Graphics?

I like the music!

@hari thanks! All the sprites and tilesets were created or converted using the original 16 color DOS palette, to give it a more authentic EGA look.

@fi-le the music is by Karugamo, played through an OPL synthesizer and saved to ogg.

A new video has been added to our channel testing out death by lava, falling spikes, as well as the new Purple Worm and Sorceress enemies. I apologize for the choppy capture, but the problem was only caught after upload. The test itself ran smoothly.

The new video has been added to the top post, as well as a few screenshots.

It's looking great... and even more important - looks like fun to play :+1:

@xyz Thank you! We are hard at work with the level designs at the moment, and hope that the end result will be as fun to play as the test levels were.
