Comments
Looks like a cool new animated movie poster
A new adventure. Exploring dungeons and caves?
Surprise twist. The hero is the rabbit!
Ah I am not sure it would be "pixel mage" again I just like the idea of reusing him in another context because he looks cool to me
A game based on Gauntlet, where you can be either the Mage, the Rabbit or the Explorer Dude. More humorous than Gauntlet. You're welcome.
Who doesn't like a love story?????
Is the dude on the right holding a hypodermic or a sword?
Looks really cool. I really like your pixel art style.
Dude looks like a lady to me.
@Toque
Yeah the dude is a little girl, scout adventure lady.
I guess the red hair merges a bit with the brown bg so It can mislead.
or maybe its a story about an old man and a transgender kid...and a bunny
Platformer...3 interchangeable hero's with different abilities so rabbit can jump high and go through small gaps, wizard can do erm...magic
casting spells on enemies, fire bolts to break a rope that will make a platform fall so all 3 can cross a gap.
The guy with a sword is the one you will want to use to clear an area of monsters and anything that needs a hearty sword to smash it open.
So yes I think a platform game where you need to use all 3 hero's to progress and eventually escape is my idea
You could even use an energy bar for each hero and every time they use an ability like jump or fire or swing sword it runs down but by collecting carrots (rabbit) and mana (wizard) and food (swordsman) you can replenish your energy.
You could use the wizard to cast magic on the rabbit to make him bigger for a limited time so he can jump higher or make the swordsman more powerful etc etc.
@UtopianGames
funny i just made a prototype of that where you transform back and forth between rabbit to wizard were he throws spells and the rabbit jumps
but I don't can fit the third character in it.
It would not make sense to transform.
So wizard / rabbit one char with 2 sides and the other one Is a female by the way I could have her with no weapon but do something else
or go mage/rabbit only
or maybe i let the wizard go and its the little scout girl that can turn into a rabbit
Could be his daughter,
apprentice.
Like Harry Potter school for wizards. Different challenges.
Girl who finds the lost rabbit.
Love interest. Bunny leads him to captured mistress.
Rabbit rescues wizard.
but does it still sound exciting now?
I don't know defining it like this just took the magicness of not knowing what it was.
who would be interested in such a game? Whats my audience?
Give the girl a whip which she can use to swing across gaps and climb up etc.
And rather than have them transform from one character to another, have all 3 on the scene/level working together. A little like "Unia"

Female Indiana jones. Saving wizard. I could think of xy being a large market.
The new Star Wars hero kicked some but. She was awesome.
If it's good guys will play. Some female angles might attract some xy.
I say make her the hero.
Hmmm i might design female hero game.
Given the choice I will always play the female character, in any game!
Not so sure about a small pixel art one though...
Alright so indiana jones girl jumping through tombs
Mm
Not sure about whips and tombs. Swords and caves. Castles??????
Name her Laura Croft... lol
As much as I liked the idea, I found it quickly frustrating to have to go through the same areas multiple times. It was usually just to gather everyone together again, rather than to beat a specific challenge that required one character or another.
I think having ONE character that can transform would be a much more enjoyable playing experience. And just from a logic/lore perspective, it should definitely be the wizard/rabbit combo. Magicians pull rabbits from their hat! That's, like, a requirement to be a magician
Soooo...how about a super fast animation (just a few frames) where the magician vanishes, his hat drops to the floor, and the rabbit pops up?
If I remember correctly, @DeadlySeriousMedia had a very cool game a while back called ABE (Or something). While not entry related to your characters, it did show what cool things could be done and how to have the "Change Menu" not be intrusive to the gameplay.
Or maybe I am just a huge fan of their work and felt the need to highlight that. Either way, check it out.
there was an old snes game called demons crest he basically could switch between forms, flyieng, jumping, attacks etc
