Swords & Sandals 3 - Weapons Shop

Posted by hechaos - May 30th, 2008

Hi all,

Swords and Sandals 3 marches on - I've just finished the build of the shop system. Pretty different from the previous version, all weapons and armour are now randomly generated.

Swords & Sandals 3 - Weapons Shop

I built a nice little weapon prefix-suffix generator that allows for a huge variety of weapons ala "Diablo", "Warcraft" etc, meaning you can have "Demonic Chainsaw of Frost" which adds to your strength and also gives you extra cold damage ... and so on. End up with some pretty interesting results.

The weapons you see in the video are pretty high level, meaning most items you'll see in the shop early on will be simply "Axe", "Two Hand Sword". Sneak preview I guess, haha.

I've also started work on the inventory system - it's a paperdoll, so you can just drag weapons from your inventory to the character and vice versa.

Cheers, Ol

The blacksmith really needs a better look. Seriously, the game is great, just the muscles and stuff look really exaggerated.

I just chucked the old blacksmith from Swords & Sandals 2 in there as a placeholder... he's going to be replaced. Yeah, true he was a bit of a steroid junkie but I was fond of him, Hulk Hogan's older brother...

I used to play SnS for HOURS and HOURS. I just wish the other parts were without payment. The game is damn good and certainly will be better when it's done.

XxdeathpriestxX 2008-05-30 15:39:21

3 questions
will there be online fighting, will it get rid of the nameless,, hack? and will it be not a just a stupid demo even though you can find the whole thing on another site?

XxdeathpriestxX 2008-05-30 15:40:24

last question slash request:
make your own items (=D

I always saw swords and sandals as a game with huge potential. Potential as in 'could be awesome, but isn't until a lot of things are improved' But there is obviously development and I think it will eventually turn out to be a great series. However, I cannot stress enough that it should not be a pay to play game. And ehm..did my eyes deceive me or did it really say 'laser gun' there? Don't pull a might and magic on us and ruin a medieval setting with futuristic weaponry o.O

Good luck with this and any future games!

hechaos 2008-05-30 16:40:50

Thanks mate - your eyes don't deceive , that is a laser gun. But these wont appear until fairly late in the game. I was a big fan of Might and Magic growing up and I decided to just mix it up with chainguns, lasers and so on. More like Warhammer 40k than anything really. But it will be balanced, a good two hand sword will still tear shreds off a bolt pistol at close range.

Appreciate your feedback rachskald!

definatly a good game but i think its over priced about $10-15 would better suit it at for now.(that is the second game im talking about) but this is deffinalty looking good but get a new weapon smith or update him.

hechaos 2008-05-31 15:05:37

Old hulk hogan will be going into retirement, I just used him as a placeholder until I draw new shopkeepers.

eragonas 2008-06-14 03:11:04
