Arnthak
Arnthak
Arnthak is a Platform/Adventure game currently in production. It uses the Tarvos gaming engine (a custom engine written in Java).
The player will take control of Arnthak's Archmage, acquire wealth, rebuild his tower, explore the floating world of Arnthak and destroy his rival's influence.
Playstyle
Arnthak draws influence from a wide range of platform games (mostly from the 90's), and aims to add depth to this style through the use of a massive, single world (rather than isolated levels). Additionally, the player will be able to manipulate items and purchase upgrades to his/her own Tower as the game progresses.
Artwork
Arnthak has been created in a style similar to classic 90's PC platformers, with strong influence from the games Below the Root, Captain Comic 2 & the Commander Keen series
The pixel art created for Arnthak has been limited to the use of the same colours found in the EGA palette, which helped define the style of these games. Arnthak has a number of artists:
- JayTheRobot (Lead Artist)
- Pixelcade
- Noble Kale
Music
Arnthak includes music from the artist H. Arnold Jones, who has previously worked on the game Inaria (the soundtrack of which can be purchased here!). Here's a video of AJ in action, developing the track 'Earthen' which will be used for underground areas:
