Cheese Boys - 0.0.3

In a sort of silly post-apocalyptic world, in early 21 century, the major part of the planet is enslaved under the rule of a mysterious group of five obscure entities that held some sort of magic power and lead the human kind to a slave state and a dark medieval age.

They are know as Cheese Boys.

Your adventure start in the year 12 of the Cheese Boys Era, exactly 12 year after the Cheese War. Those powerful beings wins this conflict again the world's countries army, thanks to the Disease that they spread over men. This magic illness slowly transforms the greater part of humans in a kind of mindless barbarian warriors under the Cheese Boys control.
After all those year of war the old know world, with its countries and organizations, is only a far memory of an happy past.

But there is one, lonely, population on the entire planet that seems immune to the Disease, and live free in a region where the Cheese Boys minions can't enter.

What dark secrets are hidden behind the Cheese Boys? How they obtain those evil powers? Can the human kind be freed?

Blog

As the project comment are not so friendly (I get no notification of new comments and so I look if some pygamers write something only in the days after a new release), I create a blog of the project itself

Controls

• Use F1 to enable/disable fullscreen during the game.
• Move the hero with mouse left button. Keep pressed and the hero will follow the cursor.
• Right click on an enemy to begin a hunt of him: the hero will begin following and attack him.
• Use the X button to attack without hunt down the enemy or if you don't want that the hero move toward him, or to stop the scrolling of the level when walking near the borders.
• CRTL key stop the time, giving you time to send orders to Boscolo.
• Use the SHIFT key to enter in stealth mode.
• Use the Z key to perform a withdraw (for now isn't helping a lot). The withdraw is done in a direction opposite to mouse pointer position!
• Use the space key to exit from text displayed during the gameplay.
• During presentation you can control the animation speed using LEFT/RIGHT ARROWS.
• With 0 key you can shout something (not useful for now).

Attack and collision!
This pre-alpha release has new charas for enemies, different from the one used for hero!

Now charas move on the screen but collisions are handled.

Finally right click make the character attack. The attack is a bit ugly for now... sword is removed from hero and a big X is draw on the screen. Strike down an enemy only print a message

Roadmap

Next release will introduce AI for enemies.
Commands will change a little. Right click on an enemy from distance will make the hero move following enemy then attack!
