Greetings, and welcome to the... HELL FUNERAL A surreal singleplayer RPG map by AlanSpirand (1.29.2 or higher classic version, unsupported on Reforged; ~2 hours playtime) |
|
Your character has just woken up from a strange dream, feeling dizzy. She has issues with her memory, but there are several things she knows for certain: she is a mud golem who goes by the name Mudallia, the shore she woke up on is owned by a fishlike creature who spends its days catching and gutting humans who swim around in the black tarfalls, and there's a funeral of her good friend Slimerian she has to attend with an undead skeleton priest. Something is wrong in this mystical place the locals call "Hell". The wells here talk, the trees start uprisings for putting their branches into campfires, and the regular everyday concepts are flipped on their heads, barely making any sense to an outsider. However, Mudallia has a far more serious issue to worry about: her heroic quest to defeat the greatest evil these lands have ever known, The Dark Wizard atop The Dark Tower. Join the two strange characters in an absurd yet meaningful RPG adventure. Interact with surrounding beings by using your main hero's "Talk" ability, capable of providing dozens of unique dialogues with quests, jokes, and lore bits. Utilize the entirely custom selection of abilities and items, including SIX secret items for the most attentive players to look for throughout the map. Fight unique bosses with special mechanics that will need to be learned and counteracted in specific ways. Eventually, overcome the obstacles and face the Dark Wizard face to face in order to finally bring peace into the land of Hell Funeral. |
Thanks. Regarding the trees: you can find out by playing!
Most likely a bug, but it's a bit unclear to me what exactly you're describing. Do you mean the heroes teleported back into the cell they were originally in? Did it occur before or after you finished off the Lawmaker bossfight and left the jail building through the gate? And did the cutscene also repeat? Because if it did, it might be some trigger firing twice for some reason.
Oh yeah, must've forgotten to turn that trigger off somehow. Sorry! Seems easy to fix, though, I'll update the map and make sure it only works once.
Thanks sis, very cool.
). (3) A mud golem with the clear voice of an elf sounded strange to me. If the voice must be female, at least let it be rough. I think any rougher voice would be more appropriate.
Thanks for playing! Well, I suppose it is quite different from "Saving Innisbrook", as that project was that giant opus that I aimed very high with and spent many months working on. This one was set to be far shorter from the start since I didn't believe the concept of the map itself (Such as the absurd reality gimmick and all the jokes that come with it) would not outstay its welcome if played on for too long. So it's something you can complete in one sitting and (hopefully) don't end up feeling like you've wasted two hours on nothing. Some additions are possible, I suppose, as my first map also received quite a bit of quality-of-life changes after release.I finished the map at 1.30. This time I tried to dig through it and to be honest I didn't find it half as interesting as 'Saving Innisbrook'. I couldn't figure out how to get to the item in the Hall of Mirrors also failed to find what they had stolen from the Great Chest. Do you plan to expand this project in the future?
Disadvantages: (1) some objects + essence of life are too close to each other and positioning them with the mouse is difficult - you point to one object (or essence) but it immediately jumps to the other and vice versa - loop effect. (2) (maybe) The battle with the Black Wizard was the easiest to win of all the battles so far (they didn't get to kill me too many times until he got to it!
Pros: I liked the "Decreasing" system that you use when the character is killed, and the difficulty level is perfect for the casual player. The ending was unexpected. Map without problems.
Thanks for sharing. I would be happy if this is just the starting idea and the map undergoes further expansions.
Here's a little more work. Here you have to keep in mind that I am using the Rebirth mod so this anomaly may not exist. It works like this: after you kill the Golem it crumbles to the ground and the characters move on, but when you move away from its remains (so that they are hidden from the visible area of the screen) and then immediately go back to its remains.
