WIP- Just a Cleric

Hello! I had this up on the site awhile ago on a devlog entry but took it down shortly thereafter.

In any case, this is the game I've been working on for almost 2 years off and on:

JUST A CLERIC

Follow the tale of the wussy cleric, doomed by fate to attempt to get revenge for his fallen comrades. But can you escape the stigma of your chosen class and become more than "just a cleric"? Or are you gonna' die?

Features:

Action RPG / comedy starring the lovable wussy cleric
Mission-based combat with varied sidequests
Hub town provides a pub, shop, church, blacksmith, wizard's house and acses to the magic dungeon
Over 100 pieces of equipment to find and upgrade
Tons of monsters to slay and boss monsters to (attempt to) slay
Be more than the sum of your cleric-y training and finally get to use huge weapons like Halberds and Greatswords
Soundtrack by The Booger Myers Band using real instruments like guitar and drums

Looks great (as usual!)

Thanks, Kisguri!
Luckily pixel art doesn't get horrendously outdated-looking since it's always been outdated-looking.

Okay well I've been working on the missions since last post and am up to Mission #17 at the moment.
The plan is to have a giant number of these little side missions where you can take your cleric to. And so far, so good in that department.

Many of these missions can be completed simply enough, however exploring them further will net you more XP and of course treasures or raw materials and all that. You don't want to rush through too many missions, as you'll still need to be strong enough to defeat big bosses and etc. which pop up from time to time.

Raw materials are split up into 5 types: Wood, Metal, Hides, Blood, and Gems. These are used in conjunction with good ol' fashioned moolah to upgrade at the town blacksmith. Most gear can be upgraded this way up to 4 times, denoted by a +1, +2, +3, or +4 at the end. Ex. Sword +3.

But to get your gear to its fullest potential you'll need to get it blessed through the church, also located in the main town. For this, it "only" requires a huge donation to the head priest.

Awesome graphical style. I like!

OK I think I finally have the screenshot uploader working again.
Here's some more screenshots.

Hello all!

This project is not dead, far from it in fact :)

I think I only have 1 more side mission and then the final fight to go actually, which is cool.

One thing though: I added a Hardcore mode option last night but aside from permadeath I'm not 100% sure what I should also do to have it stand aside from a regular, non-HC character. Or maybe that should be the only difference? I think I'll ask for opinions in another thread and see what comes up.

The final boss battle and stages were just finished last night, woo hoo!!

Now for an end credits scene and a couple more odds and ends and some more testing and there we go!

Hasslevania rocked! Can't wait for you to finish this!!

Hey, this project looks wonderful!

Good luck with the last push!
