Lux: War of Magic

Help and Feedback Creations Feedback

The last few months, I have spent a good part of my time working on a game based on magic.

In game, players control a sphere (for reasons both stylistic and physical), which casts spells using mouse gesture recognition. The spells themselves demonstrate a number of interesting aspects, including part fracturing, size-based telekinesis, and a good bit more. The characters themselves are pseudo-humanoids with orbital cameras: that is, the camera adjusts itself to the terrain, even upside down, if you manage to cling… Mix in funny text messages, a unique random tree generator (for this reason, give the game a few minutes to load), and a general lack of seriousness, and you get Lux: War of Magic

Also, try dying. It’s fun. Trust me. On another side note, I can’t seem to get links or images to work despite using the bracket format.

Welcome to the forum! Glad to see that brickbattling isn’t your only forte. :wink:

EDIT: Rest of my post is now unneeded so ye read OP

Thank you. Unfortunately, my skills evidently do not extend to attaching images to posts.

#4

The link you need is http://i.imgur.com/Vx7tFDS.png
and put {img}{/img} tags around but with brackets

Huh. I tried that first, and it didn’t show up. I also tried using the link format for the place link initially; that too did not show up. Ah well. Is there an auto filter?

EDIT: OP was able to use this pic so it’s no longer needed here :slight_smile:

I can’t cast a single spell, :c.

@CeaselessSoul: It can be a bit hard at first. Make sure that the number of lines in your drawing matches the ones in the spell book. Click on the spell icons to get a better idea of how to cast spells.

@Chaotic+HanSolo: Thanks! Your solutions worked. I seem to have forgotten to put / at the end of the url’s.

I’m really trying here, I make a square and nothing happens, my mouse glitched and I made this random shape and I get the lightning spell. Please, make a video of drawing and executing all the spells and post it here.

#11

Try the gust spell starting from left to right; you need to draw each line in the correct order, which is hard to figure out in cases such as the square.

#12

In cases like that, clicking on the spell book spell icon is very useful.

#13

I’ve improved the spell selection system. It now recognizes spells mirrored about the y axis and patterns which are rotated (as a whole) up to 40 degrees. Hope this helps.

#14

I could not get a single spell to fire. I couldn’t even get the lightening bolt. It looks great but I suck.

#15

I’ve added an update which should make all spells easier to select. Within the next few days, I’ll try to make a tutorial for game play… I don’t know how well it will work though.
