The Knight, Mage and King

The Knight, Mage and King is an isometric puzzle game with role-playing elements built in roughly five days for Weekly Game Jam 199.

What worked...

• Traviso - the game's engine
• PixiJS - the engine behind Traviso
• The clickable "party button bar" down the bottom - previously users just clicked on the screen 
• Closely following the Game Jam's theme - Monarchy
• The sound and music - largely only added because of the Game Jam requirements
• Sappharad's MP3Gain Express - to resolve the volume level issues in the earlier version

What didn't...

• No typings for Traviso (since completed by Hakan)
• The first game I made with Traviso - a bad date simulator (since released as First Date Joe) 😢
• Isometric sprite/tile alignment - it was a nightmare! 🙁
• Surprisingly few isometric assets that matched with the engine and/or had diagonal orientations

What's new?

The new version:

• Fixes the extremely loud volume of the first version's music and sounds
• Fixes the centralize bug that resulted in temporarily hiding speech bubbles
• Eliminates hovers while the device sings in the Simon Says mini-game

Isn't there free stuff we're entitled to?

Yes! The game is now open source!  🎉
