VsWizard
by Giann


Game presentation:

VsWizard is a speed typing game in which you play a wizard who is
casting spell against his enemy. In order to cast spells, you have to
type their formulas as fast as you can. There is two essentials concepts
in the game: the spells you have at your disposal and the time you
have left to type them.



In VsWizard you can play 4 different kinds of wizards:
   - Cleric: uses holy power, heals himself, gains time
   - Sorcerer: causes a great deal of damage and steals time
   - Druid: uses nature power, inbetween healing and damage
   - Necromancer: steals time and life, causes a lot of damage but
   loses life as well



Based on simple principles, VsWizard offers a complex and fun game
system. As you master speed typing, you can explore the possibilities
of each wizard by tweaking their talent tree and optimizing your spell
choice.





In the story mode, you will face all kinds of monsters as you gain
experiences and power in a futuristic universe where politic and
violence are ruling the world. In the versus mode, you will be able to
fight against your friends.

Here is an overview of the storyline:

"Earth 2437: After surviving a nuclear war, the world is now ruled by a
global governement of powerful CEOs destroying anyone who won't follow
their will. In this chaos of violence and despair, something ancient
has reached out again. In an underground club that power is used in
fights for the amusement of the audience. This club is
called... VSWIZARD
"

Development status:

What's done: 2D engine, complete gameplay implemented, basic computer
vs. player, local player vs. player, initial storyline.

What needs to be done: online matchups, full storyline, scripted
dialogs for story mode, original sound & music, original graphics etc.

This is a nice idea!  It would have been more fun than whatever boring program I learned touch-typing from back in high school.  :)

We're Bay12er's. If there is a bug, we will find it, exploit it, and make a recursive statue out of it. Just look up Planepacked.

The project is about 99% stolen goods. At least that is my assumption after recognizing nearly every single icon being from War3/WoW. I guess it is fair to assume the remainder of the graphics and music is, to a certain degree of likelyhood, also used without permission.

Well he does say that original graphics/music are still to be done.

If this is a spambot, it's a really intelligent one, bothering to make a DF Let's Play before posting this and all.

Also, yeah, this looks cool.

Thanks for all the comments.

@salmonjockey Yes graphics and musics aren't original and the game won't be released until I find a suitable artist for the game. As I am a musician new bgm are coming up ! Voice sounds tought are original.
As a side note: graphics & sounds doesn't represents 99% of a project.

I'll keep you all updated on the project progress.
