Flash Game by Francisco Mat Made in 2007
You are an archer and have to defeat enemies. An original 2D game with top view, the working prototype has only an training arena with an simple original Artificial Inteligent, the game was designed and created by Francisco Matelli Matulovic in january 2007.
I made the original version in Flash with objectives to launch and campaign, a training arena and an online version. But in that time I did not know how to handle server and socket communication to make real time communication, when I proposed a partnership with Samuel Kato, that intensive collaborate with project and developed an working demo, we actually played against each other via internet, at time (2007) it was a huge achievment, but Samuel dropped out project and keept the .php files that previously enabled server communication.
After that I became desmotived and decided to pause that project development, then I moved out to another city and started a new life away from Flash projects. At that time I thank I will assume development after a while, but it never happened and Flash became and obsolute technology in few months after that.
Today I recovered the offline version and I was very happy that I can take development from that stage. There is some things to finish, like ending game when lifebar ends, but the gameplay is almost done.
The game has some intersting features, even without online real time versus, the offline version has the majority code and design
- Original design, scenario and animated characters
- Original gameplay and game rules, like only 3 arrows by player
- Prototype artificial inteligence, in training arena, that is little hard to win, the CPU did not move but it was on roadmap
- arqueiro-bow - Original offline Flash prototype by Francisco Matelli Matulovic, with 2018 little modifications to make it work again
- online - Collab prototype version made in colaboration with Samuel Kato (php/socket programmer)
- backups - 2007 State of art backup
The game was very close to launch, it even had an game specilized blog review, not online anymore http://www.gamereporter.org/2007/04/06/game-nacional-conheca-o-arqueiro-bow/
The php files by Samuel Kato are lost, he did some improvments in .as files to handle socket communication, and that versions is on folder online. The game started consuming very resources from server and he decided to take socket and game off his server.
