[Game] Archmage Gray
Posted: 24 Mar 2019, 21:03
Hello There
A few months ago i decided to try and take on a new programming challenge: to code a full fledged AutoHotkey game. This turned out to be a great learning experience and i am now proud to share the results of my little experiment: Archmage Gray, a fantasy style shooter game completely animated with the aid of Tics GDI+ library.
>>Story<<
The game is set on the distant kingdom of Scriptia, where an old scholar wizard that has mastered all kinds of fungus and their magical properties, receives a letter by the king, asking for his help to defend the main city from an incoming horde of magical creatures led by an evil wizard.
On his way to confront the wizard, the player must find the fabled lexikos: these are the words of the many incantations that can draw powerful magic into this world.
Success in the game will require a lot of coordination in controling the wizard to avoid obstacles, keeping a distance from the monsters at all times, aiming and shooting at them until they subdue, and managing of the power of the lexikos that he/she manages to collected.
>>Controls<<
WASD moves the player, clicking anywhere will shoot in that direction. Hotkeys 1 to 5 will select a collected lexiko scroll, and hiting the spacebar will activate the selected scroll for multiple possible powers (teleport, beam, recover, freeze enemies or speed boost).

This game is also a tribute to AutoHotkey, it's developers, and the AutoHotkey community. I am very thankful for having come across this community 7+ years ago
