- Intriguing story.
- Simple inventory management.

Hi Indurok,
Sorry for the delay on responding to your message and thanks you for trying Bleak Fortress. Just remember that this is a very early technical preview. I understand right now its a bit frustrating to play because obviously the first area aren't easy to go through because there is no save function at all. The save function will be added for sure in 0.2. The idea with 0.1 was to show the kind of game we was making so poeple would have an idea of the general ambiance of the game. In 0.2, expect to see the amazing and needed save function, ennemies and combat, game menu and a second area fellowing the first one. We may also add a new custom input customization system which are in the work right now to replace the current one. Also the current area will be improved based on feedbacks. If you have more ideas just share them with us.
Thanks!
I'm watching... proceed.
will the world be open world like Meteoroid or will it be level based?
Hi! Thanks for your interest. The game is not linear which mean its an open world kind of game. Its the same kind of world than metroid. Sure, he is held in a fortress but the fortress is very complex and there is a tons of path. You will also surely revisit levels in order to take a different path. Only the tutorial zone is more linear but this is a seperate scenario from the main scenario which happen months before the actual events in the game.
dude, i cant wait to see more from this game. any game inspired by metroid is destined to be awesome.
Hehe. Thanks for your comment! Yeah i think you right i really loved Metroid too. You will see more soon. I have also a prototype that i am about to release soon. The kickstarter will start in May-June, hopefully there will be more poeple thinking like you. :-)
