Swords & Sandals III: Armoury & Inventory

Posted by hechaos - June 14th, 2008

Some more Swords & Sandals III news...

I've just finished building the character inventory system. One of the games I loved as a kid was Ultima , in particular UVIIL Serpent Isle... it has a great paper-doll inventory system that hasn't been used much in games since, except for those online dress-up-doll games that seem to be so popular here (lol) .

I've tried to emulate that here, in that you can click and drag items onto your character and they lock on. It's a nice intuitive system and allows you to switch between your weapons/armour fairly easily.

You can check out a youtube video of it in action here :

So still a bunch of stuff left to do, spell system, lots of combat anims, a stack of armour still to draw and sound, but hopefully still on track for an August beta launch.

Cheers, Oliver

No offense, but nobody would pay 20 bucks for a flash game. No matter how good it is, it's still flash.

Although it is looking like it's coming along quite nicely.

Looks pretty cool =D I hope you don't have to pay again... Maybe have a bunch of ads after every battle like in gem craft on armor games, I'm sure you would get WAY more money that way.

puredragon222 2008-06-14 03:41:26

Like another guy said, just use ads to get more money. Don't make US pay!

woaw, s&s3 is turning out great! im as excited as i was before the release of sonny.
pay to play? is that true? i mean every1 wants a revard for their hard work, but you will loose most of the audience, and the wiser ones will just download it illegaly... yeah sinjx25, a bunch of ads would ruin the game...

kojikoji 2008-06-14 08:33:09

Looks great so far, love the duel wielding. Though, i have to agree.. don't make us pay again! just include ads!

Luigi77777 2008-06-14 10:49:55

Yeah, the game is good... But NO one wants to pay $20 for some game that tries to be as gory as hell. I mean yeah... I still like the game but yea lol

Peter005 2008-06-14 12:04:43

The game is awsome but why 20 bucks for a game i mean noone would pay to play a game

squidly 2008-06-14 15:04:27

Who cares?
You're just going to CHARGE $20 FOR IT.

Angel-Dragon 2008-06-14 15:59:15

I thought your games were good, until I noticed you have to pay for the full thing. Its flash if you want to make money get a job, or go into the gaming industry and further your abilities. All your doing here is making people depressed with the fact that you have to pay .......

SolidSpartan 2008-06-14 16:47:56

Umm, it might be wasted effort if you make people charge. I mean, it looks cool, but I don't think ANYONE would pay. Just get ads or something.

flashnoob555 2008-06-14 21:52:30

DUUUUUDE PLEASE JUST TAG SOME ADDS ON THAT BITCH!!!! please!!!!!!!!!!! i dotn want to have to pay $20 to die 100 times (lol i suck at S&S)

arthur1234 2008-06-14 22:14:47

what a fake?

rsrsrsrrs

SolidSpartan 2008-06-21 14:41:50

Seriously, just get cash offa adds. You'd get more money because I don't think anyone would actually pay.

Bag-o-Rats 2008-07-05 16:34:13

Angel-Dragon why don't you get a job? 20$ is nothing at all and this game will be worth every penny.

ManlyMan97 2008-08-03 15:31:35

Looks cool, but I won't pay.
