Lost viking somewhere in Byzantine Empire

Hi ! / skål ! / Ahoj! /Hola

My game  secretly tribute and old , classy games, but in same time I am trying bring something new. It is something more like "hero simulator" in alternative history with real gods presence. 

recommended resolution 1920x1080 !  Windows only for now !  

Now is game  short, but I keep work on it daily and try upgrade every day something new. On the other hand you can be part of story/game. I already put into game some  tributes for those who donate or at least tried game...check more on patreon, or inside game (premium button) if you interested. 

 If you choose chicken difficulty you might finish on first try...but on godlike hardly....:)

Now game takes to PRO gamers like 25 minutes I guess (full two level lenght + hard diff)

Moving of hero might look slow on beginning (because there will be character leveling system and on beginning is hero low level, but you can increase speed and agility by increasing character levels and skill perks).

It is about second son of viking chief (jarl) who was send to oddins most distance palace on Earth to gain hero abilities. It is kind of mixed parallel universe of true earth except there is presence of gods pretty visible. Pagan culture is in this parallel presence mst powerfull. Because of their strong gods ad warrirors their conquered most of know world. the most distance place is in Byzantine empire captured by vikings warriors.

Funny facts: 

• Worms has sound (voice cover by my 10 months old son  saint "george"  :) 

What is new in  Version 2.6.0 (+ 2.5.9a)

• Worms again improved AI (still lot of space for improvement)
• Optimalized Sound logic 
• New feature Skills + skill tree + perk system (now only 2 perk and skills avaible)
• Complete level II lenght ( but still lots of content missing)
• New climb, run skills
• Some better physics of hero movement (more stabille)
• Pause game
• Sign name of hero (before first checkpoint)
• New ENEMY Goblins from Suzannes clan (basic warrior + basic archer ) 

What is already working from previous versions:

1.  Options - music, sound , blood working (first load must be set on in option)
2. Level 1,2 full lenght ( but there will be updates - content is like 80% finished )
3. Hero correctly respawn if fall on becks, ect.

5. Health, stamina, experience, kills,secrets rate stats working.
6. game can count score and time (time and diff has influence on score)
7. game can load /save in checkpoints ( start is checkpoint and one is in level)
8. New main hero modell
9. Basic Dead animation implemented  (later will be more depend how hero die for example fall from great high)
10.  Combat mode.  (To arms, disarm, attack up, middle, low, strafe left/right, turning also in combat mode)
11. I improved slightly "credits" and create "premium"
12. 3 kinds of difficulty
13. Healing potions + healing feature is working
14. Some basic inventory system + gold collecting
15. First kind of enemy in level I. (Every new evel I will add new types of enemies.)
16. Skill tree for upgrade of hero (climbing, ruing, magic, better combat ect.)
    
17. Help display pressing "H" , game also has Pause by pressing "P"

I hope you support me by donating :) , but ofc you can play for free . Donating will has influence on my future plans and aslo I try tribute my donators by putting some graphic elemnts directly into game ( Roxy = Roxy's hall  in level I, Suzzane goblin bridge at level II beginning. I also planning do her as chief of gobllins, Pajaaaas obelix at level II )

I got big plans what add in future:

1. Better hero - now game has midle concept of main character
2. active smart enemies (AI ) also responding to each other
3. more deadly traps ( now only 2 kinds)
4. Of course more levels , more graphic content, more beasts
5. compettetive score ledger shared with other registered players
6. Possibility switch to first person camera look
7. I might do in very distant future second game real time  strategy something between age of empires and warcraft II. It will be continue of this game....hero return and war with his brother to gain the throne.

Short story  about hero ect....... :) (unfinished)

Jarl Has tough choice. He is feeling his bones are getting old, health is getting worse and even he is still not in bad condition, he should to elect ,who will be his succesor. He has Two sons. One is strong, brave, clan warriors respect him but also fear him. But his personality becomes terrible, just ruthless, sadistic. His firstborn(Ivar) sacrifised his own first wife to gods because he suspected her from worshiping christianity. Also there is rumor he poisoned his father's second wife (Ivar is son of first wife). Also he act very sadistic against enemies sometimes even to own people. His second son is much less brave. Till age 13, when his mother died he was spoiled and controlled by mother. In that age 13 his brother Ivar already succesfully return from his first raid where he first time killed men. Our hero was long time without father influence because first son looks like ideal succesor and father was blind for some time about  personality deviation of firstborn. Our hero is pagan too, but has some kind of understanding for other religions which is in best chief warriors consider as big weakness. He Was on couple raids but much later and killed few men only in self defence. His biggest passion is food and beer. He love feasts, stories about gods and mighty heroes. Also he likes music and art. Jarl likes his son for his personality but he knows nobody respect him and after chief dies, Ivar would kill his brother. Jarl knows it. So, rather let her son die by Ivar's hand, he give him opportunity become true warrior and send him in distant palace which is bastion of Oddins power of world where vikings pagan worshipers conquered distant lands. (our world is fiction no such palace existed, but truth is vikings warriors were in biggest glory of their age hired by Byzantine ruler as personal guards because they were considered as best warrior of those times. Also their viking warriors and scouts reached Constantinopole by exploring lands and seas) Jarl hopes if his son died in this palace in brave battle at least he claim chair in Oddins hall in valhalla. Or he return as succesfull graduate and Jarl announce his as next Jarl. He will be enough skilled to defeat Ivar after he try to reclaim his firstborne right for ruling. Also he will gain respect of mens which are fear or respect Ivar much more even he is sometimes sadistic to own people and sacrifised his own wife. He gave him 3 years for return, after it ,he will announce his follower. Jarl paid huge amount of gold to Oddins priests which in special ritual convert this gold into power which can use Oddin in his pallace for jarl's son resurrections. (pure fantasy here) This power is Oddin willing to use through his artefact of resurrection located in this palace. There is explanation about 3 kind of difficulty. 1]Jarl is very, rich, 2]not so rich. 2]+Ivar stole part of this gold to give his brother chance, so Ivar knows about this deal. His father Threat him, that if his brother (our hero)die, before he reach this palace, he will give claim his brother, ruler of another kingdoom. He send group of best soldiers and priest as witnesses to this palace. They dont need to go all that distance. In our world partly fantasy you can travel through roots, branches of yggdrassil (three of life) which is acording pagan mytology connect another worlds, locations. And one of this dimesion doors is near palace (next is inside their kingdoom). About palace is also short story. but this all for now

I leave here mark, on this magical place. I am 41 and started creating game for my upcomming twins sons :) Yes you hear right...two boys (Josef & Jiří) . One day they discover this message here :) I love you both already !
