The Bone Warrior's Oath

*Game is about 25-30 minutes of gameplay*

v14 is uploaded. 11-16-2024- 12:32pm PST (GMT-8):

Mostly fixed the lifts, slight positioning issue, but shouldn't get the player stuck anymore.

Currently working on zoom out toggle (left shift or left bumper), but not completely working. Don't fret. Just toggle it off to go back to normal.

Slowed down end demo credits a bit, and using A or space should slow them down while held down.

Fixed various other smaller issues.

*KNOWN BUGS* 

1) If the player talks to Sivus, the merchant while poisoned, you will die and it will freeze the game. Creating a workaround so that the player cannot talk to him if a negative status is active.

Called from his slumber, play as the Bone Warrior, the ancient protector of Hallowtown. In this mini-Metroidvania, explore the world of Halloween, unlock powerful skills, and battle nightmarish monsters using melee and ranged combat. Cleanse this haunted countryside beset by a sorcerer's dark curse.

Here it is! I hope you enjoy it. Remember, it is an alpha demo. If there are any game-breaking issues, I can be reached via email at jlanderson2021@gmail.com.

If you want to donate, it will go towards a steam release. I may be doing a Kickstarter campaign in November if this gets good reviews.

You can leave me messages here too.
