Blackfyre Gameplay Video

Game is now out!

No, I'm not dead :D I've just been extremely busy working on a project, a project that I am now going to show you!

Blackfyre is my first, big, mass-released game. It follows the story of a talented wizard who has had his memory of the arcane arts erased by the malevolent queen of his land. In order to toy with him, the queen pits him against a series of enemies. With no recollection of magic and only equipped with the simplest of spells, can you make it through the gauntlet and kill the queen who has toyed with your life?

Blackfyre is a hybrid RPG/Fighter. It takes common, turn based systems from games such as Final Fantasy and blends them with elements from fighting games such as Tekken, Street Fighter and Mortal Kombat. As you progress through the levels, you regain your knowledge of magic, increasing your arsenal and preparing you for the challenge ahead.

The game was programmed entirely by me in C++ with the help of the SDL (http://www.libsdl.org/) library. I hope for a release date as early as April 6th, but I can't make any promises. "It'll be done when it's done."

Sorry for the rambling intro. I've never been able to articulate well in front of a camera :/

And sorry the the video was recorded entirely with my Flip. I cannot use FRAPS seeing as the game is programmed in DirectDraw (not D3D or OpenGL), and all the screen recorders I have tried hate me (which, considering my hardware, is ridiculous).
