Spike's Arena

Here's a good example of the new background style I'm trying to make. It's 'crystallised' and unfocused, which helps keep attention on the foreground while being nice and attractive at the same time.
See, that Graphics GCSE course did come in handy, after all!

Also the arena is an exact replica of that from Spyro 3. Look it up!

I'm also contemplating a Kickstarter so I can buy some programs I need to make this game complete.

Update; removed the platforms floating in the air.

The music is 'Cognitive Dissonance' by Kevin MacLeod. Thank god for royalty free music.

New logo

This one took me longer.

And I'm still working on world 2.

Game with a name!

Yep!

And if I ever choose to make a sequel, I can call it 'Adventure Man 2'!

Thanks to Dale for the name!

Stage 1 Screenshots

Ain't it beautiful?

Stage 2 - The City

The city is the world you face after beating the first boss. It's where many people live, but many of [unnamed hero]'s friends choose to live in the secluded areas of the world.

Side Bosses

Not particularly important characters, so I'll reveal the Four Bikers Of The Apocalypse.

I'll make some future animations of them, but these guys are fought before Dave, their leader.

Conquest - White Biker - Wields bow and arrow
War - Red Biker - Wields a sword
Famine - Black Biker - Wields a rocket launcher (couldn't think of anything modern for famine)
Death - Pale Biker - Wields what is supposed to be an AK47

They all ride Kawasakis by the way.
