Progress is being made!

Let’s talk again about In Coma project. First – i’ve changed the WIP name to Surdana – you know why. Second – prototype version is being made with first level and test mechanics. In prototype we control male character instead female – it’s just for testing!

Art style is cartoonish and I want to keep that in future. I like the art style of Kingdoms of Amalur, Warcraft (and WoW!), WildStar and we should keep in mind that the art style of Drakan also was handpainted, so that’s my goal.


I’m not good at modelling so all the fancy stuff is just bought assets. I’m into core stuff – programming and testing things out. For now.

My goal is to make fully functional prototype version with mechanics such as teleporting with functional teleporting system, melee combat, cave entrance system (similar to Skyrim) and release it here as proof of my work.

I still need some time (and eventually help from 3D modellers), but despite that I shall release this (if I won’t have any problems!) in next month or something.

Stay tuned.

Reference material

Rynn! Hovewer it need cleaning and that stuff. I was able to extract every 3ds file from the game, but without texture. These files use for me as reference material, so don’t worry Warner.

General post regarding my game. Published in Arokh’s Lair Forums.

In March 2014, I decided to run blog hosted on wordpress.com about works. If you want, you can subscribe or look somethimes, I won’t promise I will be writing every day or month. I could write something about story or making assets.

Anyway, I repair PC, and I’m getting to work on real stuff. These 3 years for me were thinking about game elements, UI, story. At first, I wanted to make it concentrated about main character, then about world wich she would take actions – Azshara. But I think the original idea was better.

The plot is something about Drakan: In Land of Krona, the race of Nadur and Eredur lives in union, but there was a third race – Dragons. They didn’t want dur race to live on Krona – so the dur move to Troi and Sonos – two smaller islands borders with Azshara. They tried to fight dragons but without succes.

One day, Aerl seeing the oportunnity, captured a dragon – a mightly one called Devoh. And with help of his mage, he took dragon soul into his body in that manner, that he could morph into dragon. There was a hope for win. Dur didn’t knew however, that Dragons were only a pupper of something other, but evil. The Soulbond pact was born. Dur and Dragons joined into bond, so Dur was a Dragon and a Dragon was a Dur.

Dragons, before the pact, were under command Gylagg the Evil, commanded from neightborhood moon. He come to Krona and the Great War began. They fought Gylagg and their minions but in poor results – The population of Dur and Soulbonds were low. Some of the Soulbonds went into hiding as well as Dur, some went to destroyed cities and trying to recover wht was left and rebuild the past glory.

The ~500 years after that, there is another danger… Strange portal summons something, that isn’t good.

That was the short story. So, what do you think? I can improve this a bit. I’m gladly to read comments and sugesstions.
