Hey guys, I like to introduce my new game: Ashworld.
It's an open-world game, mixing driving, shooting, and platforming into one big action adventure type thingie!

I hope to release the game Q1 2017.. possibly Q2.. we'll see! :p

Here are some screenies to look at:













You can read up on development in more detail here: http://techblog.orangepixel.net/2016/12/its-called-ashworld/

but I'll also be sure to update this thread with more screens, info and videos when I get them

Stop making us look bad!

I was wondering yesterday.. "but where is orange pixel update? " and here you are!
I like the atmosphere and the overall "feel" of the game so far: pixel art is really cool!

I hope you will show us some good old vehicle fighting, because was most part of mad max: fury road

On the other side, I don't like the "poster", too cartonish/maga, I prefer more dark theme for this kind of game!

Any way, good work so far!

thanks guys! been working for a lot of months on this one, huge pain getting the game to where it is now
mostly because I don't play or fully understand the fun in open world games 

but I got it all coming together, now it's just the last 10% left

Added a chainsaw this week:


and worked on a unlockable Codex:


and tweaked all the effects and graphics a bit


got a rough version of a trailer/teaser coming hopefully next week, showing a lot more of the game.
for a bit more technical stuff there's a new : developer blog

Also tested and improved the touch-controls and got MFI controller support up and running nicely!

still hopeful on the Q1 2017 release window!

hack the URL, dude...

That's why I'm on the big bucks

just a little teaser!

I'm now at about 98% done with the game, but there's still a bunch of weeks before it launches to iron out bugs and tweak stuff.

things left to do:
- add achievements + leaderboards
- add the final few story-missions
- test, test, test, test!

Any way to try it on itch.io ? I don't find any useful information about your game and testing

thanks for the update!

Woohoo!  Ashworld is now available in Early Access / In development state through Itch.io
Game will be available in full-release version on Steam later this year (aiming for September).

Itch.io purchases will receive a steam key when they become available, AND you have a few bucks discount if ordering it now on Itch

So grab it here: www.orangepixel.net/ashworld

Some info:

- Game build ontop of Libgdx (using own engine tho, just libgdx cross-platformness, and sprite-batcher)
- an open-world with car-driving, shooting, fist-fighting, platforming (indoors), survival, and crafting
- graphics+code+design all done by me, music by Gavin Harrison
- my first attempt at creating an open-world game (still not a fan of those games in general)
- my first attempt at doing car-driving (no physics libraries (ab)used)


Game will also get a release on Android + iOS later this year
