Caves of Althalox

Did some work on the second level of my hack today (third "completed" level). Here is a pic.

Enjoy.

A familiar tune.

Those who have played Mario's Keytastrophe will be greeted with a familiar track:

07 - Melodia Ties

...but where will this be used?

Playing with different fonts.

I think I found one that I finally like.



I'd post an in-game screenshot, but it is 2:55 AM and I want to sleep.

Stuff

I have a video which I uploaded a few days ago to show here.



You can find the track here, in SPC form:

"Zersh's Fortress"

I may also put up the custom collectable key/door sprite I have coded in the video, although I want to make a few changes so that it is a tad spiffier.

Enjoy.

Introduction

In a distant land, dislike has been festering between two provinces for hundreds of years. Both regions have taken shots at each others supplies, trade routes, and even citizens, yet no war has ever broken out. The two provinces - Althalox, the grassy plains, and Valioz, the desert wasteland - have an undying hatred for each other.

It was not until recently that the former king of Althalox passed on - a new ruler named Kaiser Zersh III has taken his place. Not much is known about this ruler by the citizens of Althalox - those who have met him regard him as a mysterious, yet humorous leader. Some consider him unfit for the job, yet they would never dare speak their distrust in Zersh, for they have no idea what he could potentially be capable of.

With the everliving fear of a "deadly war", or "Bellum Letale" hanging over the citizens of both regions - especially with this new, and strange Kaiser - each side prepares for what could potentially be the most devstating battle ever to befall the lands.
