Designer Notes and News - 09/09/08

Andriayle can no longer fall off the ledge on her own.  This will also make it where monsters can't run over water or thin air as well.  Andriayle can still get monsters stuck
if they fall off though through her blast line of spells "which is tactics" and very much intended to do if you can manage to stick a creature on something.   She can only lose hearts now by a monster forcing her in a danger area of the map.   This will make the game much easier for people struggling and accidentally falling off which can be
very frustrating since a monster is almost always on you if you're low on mana or don't have blast loaded up.

Players will enjoy these changes a lot and it makes crystal crazy slightly easier but it's still a challenge with new monsters and powers they have to knock you for a loop.


NEW ZONES COMING IN 1.2

Four new zones have been made and they are the following.

EAGLEVIEW VILLAGE - You can buy the new Shield and Remedy spells here as well as get a one time quest zone that gives a nice reward if you help the town.

EAGLEVIEW MINE -  This is the quest zone of Eagleview and contains rat packs and rock monsters which is a tricky combo to go against.   I will let players figure it out

ROGUE RETREAT  -  This is a new zone that contains hooded thieves who vanish and appear before you but also have a slight chance when they hit you to do a cheap
                              attack that knocks you for a loop.

STONECRUSH FALLS  -  Bugbears and a terrible Ogre has taken residence in this area.   You have to watch out for their strong attacks which will send you flying hard.
                                   They also have a stunning blow chance if you get really unlucky which will stop you dead in your tracks and lined up for a fairy punt.


BARRIERS AND CRYSTALS

A new system will be added into 1.2 that features "barriers" which stop you from going further on the map until you activate the color coded crystal that drops that
barrier.  Crystals that are color coded are protected by tower bosses which is a 10 level battle zone with the 11th room being a powerful boss.


MORE TO COME!


What is Crystal Crazy?

Crystal Crazy is a very unique adventure/rpg game that feels like a mixture of Pac-Man, Super Mario World and Zelda rolled into one game.  The name "Crystal Crazy" comes from the insane amount of stolen crystals you have to reclaim. 


The Storyline

The world of Riyn'Vale (Ree-In-Vale) was never the same...

Andriayle (And-Dree-Ale) is the main character and is a fairy from the fey village called "Everglade".
Everglade is known to harness many magics of the world through it's large collection of magical crystals.
The crystals are created by the magic essence of the fairy people, and only they have the power to control or
sense where they are from anywhere in the world.

One day, the chief of the village asked Andriayle nicely to retrieve some supplies for a new batch of crystals that were being planned out.
Andriayle quickly packed her things and left the village of Everglade. Traveling far away from Everglade, Andriayle was successful in
finding the much needed components for the new batch of crystals. 

As Andriayle headed home and got near the gates to the village, she quickly realized that the town had been set on fire and many villagers
were slain and captured.  Feeling the crystals resonate in her mind she quickly gathers what she can out of the destroyed village and heads out
to reclaim the crystals and save her people.

Cool dude, tell me what you think.  I came up with this screwing off pretty much..   I must say I have been pretty addicted to it though.   If people really like it I'll complete the world and add a ton of stages and things.

[RockJohnAxe]

For the love of god, Why do we need the title in all Caps?

Secondly, Me likes the game so far Simple yet sounds fun.

lol changed it up a bit, yeah, it's addicting and fun.. the 2nd boss is tough.    A tip for anybody who plays, getting hit can be a good thing if you position yourself right.

[RockJohnAxe]

How exactly does the "combat" work. Link style walk around and Swing, or is a combat started.

I want a "Love Love Sparkles" attack

[Uberpwn_w00t]

From what I've gathered, you just avoid the enemies and collect the crystals. No "combat" really.

The game looks fun, I'll try it out.

[Red Fox]

Yeah, it's as awesome as it looks. But damn the second level is hard.

[Drakiyth]

Yeah, it's as awesome as it looks. But damn the second level is hard.

I got a video coming.

[Meiscool-2]

I'll try this out when I get really bored.... which will most likely be soon.

[Drakiyth]

Has anybody beat the 2 stages?   I know the 2nd boss is a bitch lol.   I plan on doing a polish on the game from feedback and things.   


TIP:  To beat the 2nd boss you need to stand where his main attack will direct you to a crystal..  You have to time and judge it carefully but he is beatable once you learn his tricks.

[RockJohnAxe]

ill try to today drak once i get home.

[Red Fox]

I haven't even been able to reach the boss on the 2nd stage >.<

[mironic]

awsome

NEWS August 16th - 2008

Kobolds on the 4th stage of Grassy Field battle zone were not getting fully hit by the star after a crystal was taken.  This has been fixed.

Goblins in the Goblin Plains battle zone are being nerfed a bit.   They were stunning way to often which made some areas extremely hard for it being the 2nd stage.

Removed a couple items that were making the paths in the goblin area way to hard to navigate at this stage of the game. 

Storm Valley screen shot up.   This is stage 3 which is not in this demo. 

I haven't even been able to reach the boss on the 2nd stage >.<

Really?  I knew it was tough but not that tough.. I'll try and tone it down on the polish.
