Terracore Adventures is a game currently under development by Play-Bit Entertainment, a small group of indie dudes down in Melbourne, Australia. Inspired by the classic 2D digging games of yesteryear and disappointed by the “me-to” nature of most games on Facebook. Terracore Adventures is a game that blends a mixture of arcade mining action with RPG elements like experience points and upgrading equipment. Please check back now and then to see the progress we make on this Game. We plan to release Terracore Adventures in August 2010.
I've taken a screenshot here to show the current state of the project as of the 6th of July.
What we see here is the early stages of gameplay implementation. It looks very ugly but that's for a good reason. The only new art in place is the dirt tiles and the animated mole character. Everything else is using older art assets which are very different in style.
At the current moment I'm play-testing to see how much in cash and experience I can earn in relation to the amount of time and digging speed spent in game. These tests will help me to refine the rate of progression and difficulty curve of the game before we do an internal testing round.
