Hello Everyone at AGD, Thanks to Intersect 1.9 I have finally begun (RE) working on my game Pestilence. Formerly known as Dance Of Death, Pestilence is a 2D Rogue-Like based around the black plague. Im so thankful for intersect and all of the work JC and Kibblez have been putting into this amazing engine. Its barley even complete ad I still think it is further along and more useful than any Eclipse/Mirage based engine I have ever used. I was a bit skeptical about starting a game in an unfinished engine, but now I am very happy that I did. Im hoping to have a little alpha complete in the next month or so just for testing and shits and giggles. Information Dance of Death is a 2d online rpg based around the Bubonic plague. DOD Is jam packed with story telling & lore, events, custom features and much more. Train on mystical creatures, plague carriers, the undead and other enemies. Follow the Epic quest line from clean city's to infected villages, city's and castles. The main mission being to help find a cure for the black plague. Meet interesting characters and learn all about the wacky methods these citizens from the dark age use to try and avoid the plague. From toad licking, religion, smelling herbs, releasing blood from their body's, and locking them selves up. These people will pretty much do anything to try and rid the plague. Current Classes Priest- Priests have the ability to use special skills/spells that will add resistance to infection/blackness and also heal it completely. They may also enchant weapons and armor with special resistance to infection/blackness. Plague Doctor- Plague Doctors have the required knowledge to create medicine that can heal blackness much better than the natural herbs found in game and other unconventional methods. They also can wear special gear that is lower in defense but much higher in blackness resistance. Classes To Come Farmer- Farmers have the skills required to gather food that will lower your hunger level. They can also gather needed herbs, mushrooms and other ingredients that plague doctors will require for making medicine. Screen Shots: Current World Map WIP Custom Features -Blackness percentage.
