@OrigamiArtist That’s a lot of questions! But I love talking about my game soo…
-
To make this, I was inspired from projects on the forums and real commercial games too. And I already see influence from Seth in your screenshot. Totally take inspiration! Just don’t copy/modify assets.
-
The power of Anubis once found its way into the hands of mortals and caused the player great pain. Anymore would be a spoiler, refer to #5 for a hint on how to find the lore.
-
Seth/Kestone Preist like most of the bosses in this game is made with a whole lot of sprite utility extension. Look at the “priestBoss” function around line 1200 for the first encounter if you want specifics.
-
What is the Familiar Knight’s helmet made of? It’s a generic armor made solely to balance the Anubis fight with 2 extra HP. Actually, (definitely not made up on the spot answer) the Helmut was carved for the armies of a forgotten kingdom from ancient crystals now swallowed by the dunes. The Knight found the Helmut and weapons in a ruin and used them to test the player’s strength. Fun Fact: The Knight can be found observing the player from afar in numerous levels before their fight.

Seth does not die after you showdown in the village! If you look closely after dealing the final blow, you can see him fly away to the top right corner of the screen. (To Thunderstruck Mountains) If you want to follow him behind the locked door, search for a key which I will reveal is in a very “well” hidden place in the Merceneary/Mortal mode jungle.
If you want, and your game fits the theme, you should submit it to the game jam I am hosting.
