So right now we’re in the midst of getting the main menu created.The art team is working on graphics for the options page, finalizing artwork for the enemy bunnies on the first island, creating the background/foreground art for the first island and getting the animations for our main character(Mauritz) set up. Also, the coding team got the animations for the buttons going. So after some more tweaking we’ll have the main menu ready to show off for you all. :D

Nordic Sol Synopsis

Here’s the general synopsis for our game:

  The game is set in the magical world of Midwind. Midwind is a place that consists of floating islands. Each floating island is home to different races of creatures and kingdoms. The world is run through a caste system, the higher the island the higher status that kingdom is. The Sun being at the top is the ruling kingdom.

  Proud Norseman Mauritze is a warrior of a mighty Swedish tribe. One day Mauritz is wronged by the very deity they worship, Sunna, goddess of the Sun. Sun- burnt beyond repair and shunned by his whole village, the warrior vows vengeance. Mauritz’s goal: build his way to the Sun and let loose all Ragnarök.

This game is gonna be funny/goofy in nature and we are really gonna try our best to get you guys to invest in our story and the eccentric characters in it. :D
