Moonstone Project (Video of a combat remake WIP from 1991 Moonstone)

[AvengerXP]

This is amazing!

[Korn1holio]

We need more games like this. The whole modern 3d FPS stuff is really boring. This is how combat system should be implemented in RPGs. I remember you had to use reflexes to win fights in Moonstone, but you also could get better gear.

Great!

[PERRECTUMpl]

awesome!!!

[theace0815]

GREAT, I must have this one when its finished

[BrondolfrMadhorse]

This is very good though the swords seem a bit over sized

[BlackRabbitDigitalP]

@BrondolfrMadhorse The sword was by design choice made "thicker" due to the fact hat real proportions and details are lost at that size, so things like hands and feet are made slightly bigger, this is only a standard when it comes to game art, however if you refer to length, that IS a greatsword, which realistically are over 2 meters long, and a regular human size is about 1.80m, and the size of the blade you see is not even longer than the knight wielding it, so if anything t'is too short ;)

[kurotowa88]

great idea!!!!!!!

[PoulPikhat]

Will buy at full price!!!

[sozcaps]

The animation is so fucking sexy

[CRAP4RTIST]

Great job! And come on, you don't need copyrights to make game similar to one another, it happens all the time. As far as I know, you can't even patent a a game. You just don't have rights to use Moonstone title, which is not so important.

[BlackRabbitDigitalP]

@CRAP4RTIST Most of us in the team, work full-time into the videogame industry, and we often see cases where the limitations in design due to copyrights reasons are an issue.

But if you check the comment underneath the video and the last line in the credits of the video itself, you will see that we ARE in fact working on a title inspired to moonstone, so you might want to keep an eye on it, if you will like it or not, that is another question :)

[CRAP4RTIST]

@BlackRabbitDigitalP Yes, I've noticed there's another title. I was actually on it's site and tried to register on forum, but only got a message, that administrator have to activate my account, and nothing happened since then.

[BlackRabbitDigitalP]

@CRAP4RTIST I do apologise for the inconvenience, if you email me your forum name, I will do so immediately.

[CRAP4RTIST]

@BlackRabbitDigitalP Ok, I'll do that, thanks.

[Abrin19]

Please make this happen!!!!!!!!

[EFileTahi]

Awesome! Moonstone is one my top 10 Amiga Games list. I've always dreamed to see a remake of it for PC. SWEET!!!

[sahasurara]

I think it captures the feel of the original really well. The movement is excellent too. It would be good to have a fighting game where you don't have super powers and where a longsword really does look heavy to wield.

[MrMemag]

Fantastic.



[Yoni123]

I prefer the graphics and the art style of the original. This doesn't look dark and gory enough...

[Bl8runner79]

you could make money with that via xna develophers tool for xbox360live indi channel.

you load your games up people buy it and you get 70percent of the win. better than leting such a good project die

[BlackRabbitDigitalP]

@Bl8runner79

We could not make any profit off this game because someone else owns the copyrights, that is why we decided to start with the new project Astaroth, which is still under development.

[fragmentsofdead]

@BlackRabbitDigitalP

and why teh fuck you dont buy the copyrights?!

[BlackRabbitDigitalP]

@fragmentsofdead First reason is because Mindscape refuses to even answer emails asking who owns the copyrights, so is a mystery. Second reason, even if we do find out, the price could be astronomical for all we know, maybe not, but considering the popularity of the game, it probably is.

[jakizakiflaki]

MY GOD THIS IS SO FUCKING AWESOME, i played moonstone like 453535 times and till today i wonder why noone made a rmk or something like that. anyway DONT forgot to add more blood, make it hardcore splatter !!!

this in the video is ok , bbut we need more MUCH MORE, small medium and large bloodspots YEA

[aragonroyon]

fantastico!!

[mephisto40]

If moonstone got a release on the consoles with online multiplayer i think i'd cream my pants. AMIGA FOREVER!

[bartulec]

this is playable and available for download?

[BlackRabbitDigitalP]

@bartulec Afraid not, at least not at the moment, but keep an eye on Astaroth, if you are interested.

[Ebling]

Seriously! I've been waiting for a game like this for ages! Awsome!!! Love Moonstone.

[theAristocrap]

dont like the look of characers but the animation rocks!!!

[BlackRabbitDigitalP]

@theAristocrap we were planning to have 3 stages of armour, light, medium and heavy, but because we stopped this project, none of the other armours ever got made.
