The Farthest Land [Concept Trailer]

This is a 2D fighting game that was developed with XNA. The game is strongly inspired by the anime Claymore.

I have developed this game as a concept demo for Microsoft's XNA Dream.Build.Play. contest. This trailer demostrates the gameplay and art direction of the game thus far. Please relize that the game is in its early stage of development in which the gameplay and the art direction could possibly change as the game is further developed.

Currently, the game is being developed for the Xbox 360 and Windows XP/Vista platforms.

If you would like try out the early build of the game, you can download it at this link:

Please relize that this is an early build and the game still has a long way to go. Be sure to check the requirements before downloading.

the camera needs work, its to solid.

and see if you can get some depth of field going on those layers, that would look awesome

[TheFarthestLand]

Yeah, I agree about the layers. Creating more layers would generate a greater depth of the field.

But as for the camera. It's as good as any other 2D game out there, at least to my eyes. However, I have an idea of how make it flow more smoothly from side to side.

Nice game, very nice, need an alpha/beta tester ^_^, oh and how do you get a game to the Xbox (coughhalo2modscough)

[TheFarthestLand]

How to get the game on the Xbox 360? Well you need to develope the game on XNA, which is Microsoft's game development framework for making games for the PC and Xbox 360.

whens it coming out?

[TheFarthestLand]

Not any time soon. The game will take around 3 years to finish, maybe more.

[Cococokie]

wow. applauses.

[chibiamaterasu]

Beautiful work & I like the atmosphere of it. This is going to be awesome when completed.

Good luck, 5\5.

Looks pretty cool. I think you should add more shadows to the characters though, it's kinda hard to see their specific movements.

[DiegoSynth]

@TheFarthestLand Congratullations, very good work! I also agree, depth of field effect would look great (maybe no need of more layers, but the blur fx). I guess he means u can zoom in - out a bit & slight rotations, when talking about camera.

But great work!!!!

[foolishfate]

I love it. Its nice to see fights that look choreographed rather than the hack 'n slash variety

[laughingfurry]

It's difficult to say and varies from person to person. I like animation regardless of origin and style, as long as I can enjoy it. I see no real difference between "anime" and "cartoon". However, I am annoyed at how far commercialists are going to say "Japan is anime and America is cartoon." I rarely get into anime discussions because such people tend to annoy me.

[pulsegang]

anime is the best way of telling a story.
