Bound Arms
A downloadable game for Windows
An abandoned RPG project from 2015 that I thought I had lost but dug up today (May 2020). I've decided to post it publically since I know I'm not returning to it. It was inspired by wanting to make a battle system like Dragon Quest (1987) but "more interesting" as I could conceive of it in 2015.
Summary of the game itself:
Play as Muirren, a knight whose arm has been cursed to become a sword of great power. She travels to a small village where she has heard rumors that the magic lying within the ominous tower looming nearby would be able to rid her of this wicked sorcery.
-Very small town to walk around and rest at the inn
-One floor of a tower to explore
-Battles against several different kinds of enemies with varying tactics; dispatch them with the several manuevers you have at your disposal
-Gain EXP and Gold to level up and rest at the inn
As this project is abandoned, it is lacking many things, namely: NPCs other than the innkeeper, a boss fight, a proper inventory management system, and an ending. You simply walk around the dungeon and level up and that's about it.
