I just finished Tales of Akash 3! [game dev'ing and a free game]

After releasing Tales of Akash 2 I started working on yet another sequel.

The game starts where the 2nd game ends. Added now is a stat system using JavaScript. To put it short there is an arithmetic behind the stats. At first I coded it as a text file and embedded it into the game engine using iframe but soon realised it is too cluttered to deal with several spells, skills, buffs/debuffs etc as I would have to remember all the changes without a rulebook.

Now everything is stored as a numeric variable and the game logic/arithmetic operations are performed by the script. I'm sort of new to JS but I'm still learning. Absolutely thrilled about the opportunities the script makes possible.

I added 4 base stats; STR = strength, INT = intelligence, DEX = dexterity and WIS = wisdom.

• Strength is how powerful the character is.

• Intelligence is how the character deals and interacts with the surroundings.

• Dexterity gives more speed and the ability the strike first in a battle.

• Wisdom is the spellpower of the character.

The rather crude skill system introduced and the item system give the character boosts to base stats. You can notice this in the gameplay by keeping an eye on the numbers. Unfortunately I cannot put a screenshot up as I'm out of server space.

You can download the game from my DropBox :

Tales of Akash (project folder)

If you are new to Tales of Akash I suggest to start with the first game and proceed into the 2nd, then play the 3rd as the plot advances throughout the series. The 3rd game is 3,11MB.

I hope you enjoy it!
