Tetros: Fight Arena
Overview
Hey guys, I'm making a small game called Tetros: Fight Arena, it's open-source, moddable and already has some built-in moddable features such as the music and (coming soon!) maps.
What is Tetros: Fight Arena?
Tetros is going to be a series of games following the main character (Derrick / Sandra officially) as he travels through the land of Rethan, a large continent in civil war with 2 main sides.
Side 1 - Luminus Empire
The Luminus Empire is the side lead by Light Empress Parousia and her 3 Elemental Kings: Pyros of Fire; Pulsus of Lightning and Galus of Wind. They are watched over by the Divine God Corbett.
Side 2 - Umbrus Legion
The Umbrus Legion is the side lead by Dark Emperor Kyran and his 3 Elemental Queens: Glascius of Ice; Terrus of Earth and Aquos of Water. They are watched over by Malefic Goddess Xylon.
Lore / Storyline
Derrick / Sandra is born through the initial clashes of the Divine God Corbett and Malefic Goddess Xylon causing imbalances in the universe. The Tetraforce (The governing power of the universe in the game AKA magic) senses these imbalances and so ceases their fighting and ports it to a smaller scale on Rethan through the fighting of the Luminus Empire and Umbrus Legion. The Tetraforce wants to cease the fighting for good and so sends Derrick / Sandra down to Rethan in a falling star, he lands in a small town and is picked up by slavers to fight in the Fight Arena as a gladiator. The objective that Derrick is given by the Tetraforce is to triumph the Fight Arena and thus prove his strength to the world. Derrick / Sandra fights his way through and eventually catches the notice of both the Luminus Empire and the Umbrus Legion but the Tetraforce urges him/her not to align with either and instead complete his/her mission which Derrick / Sandra agrees to. As a response to his denial, the 2 forces both try and defeat him in the Fight Arena to oppose his insolence for denying them which causes them to temporarily join forces. In the final battle against Parousia and Kyran, after defeating both, they combine into the Time God Chronoexus to defeat Derrick / Sandra and they succeed. The Tetraforce explains to Derrick / Sandra that it had planned for Derrick / Sandra to lose in order to show them that they were better working together.
It can't end like that can it?
If you thought that that then you're correct, at least in terms of the series as a whole, a spoiler for the next game is that Chronoexus is still technically 2 beings and so infighting begins and the second civil war (known as the Time War in the game) begins and it's up to Derrick / Sandra to quench it once again.
How far have you gotten?
I haven't gotten very far yet; the framework for the basic engine is done and that's about it. There's still a lot to go but if you want to download the development builds as they're released I'll be posting Mediafire links to the latest build on this page and be updating you guys on my progress so make sure you keep up to date!
Cost?
The game will be free to make and to play and I'd like to keep it that way but any donations are appreciated! My PayPal email will be put at the bottom of the page just above the download link
Changelog
- 1.9.1: Changed player's speed from 1.875 tiles/second (60 pixels/second) to 1.40625 tiles/second (45 pixels/second) along with a minor bug fix in the rendering of the map.
- 2.0: You can now press F3 to screenshot your screen! Appears in the 'screenshots' folder that is generated in the installation folder of the game.
- 2.01: Fixed a bug when making screenshots that crashes the game. Enjoy taking screenshots in high definition now! (Or atleast if you have a high definition screen I guess )
- 2.1: Fixed diagonal movement to make it smoother, added a new events system to the game similar to that in the BukkitAPI to simplify the handling of events such as collision and movement. In addition to that I also implemented a brand-new map system using the new ".tfamf" extension that allows for easy map creation, I'll be releasing the map editor soon for those of you interested in creating your own maps (Still requires the use of the Tiled Map Editor to create the tiled maps)

Other Miscellaneous Information
I'll be getting my art from this site in the LPC (Liberated Pixel Cup) art style so if you want to give any art for the game then please PM me a link to the art and hopefully I'll be able to include it in the game! Other than that all I can really say is that I hope you enjoy watching the game grow and any support given is appreciated
