Crystal Story: The Hero and the Evil Witch now Available!

Hooray! Crystal Story is now available to play!

Link: Steam (PC)

Come and explore the sights of Smalltown. Here is a mini guide to get you started…

Dungeons

 You can move around dungeons using a Mouse, a Keyboard, or a Controller. Choose any control scheme you prefer. Bumping into enemies while inside a dungeon will start battles. You can also collect treasure you find by interacting on it.

Map

 Explore the areas around Smalltown. New areas unlock as you explore further into Evil Cave. Be sure to check the map from time to time for any new areas!

Town

 The Town is where you can rest and take a break from exploring. You can buy or sell items on the Shop or rest at an inn. Alchemy will let you combine certain items to form a new one, while Reforge will create a random item from an existing one.

Crystal Story

Hello Everyone! Just wanted to update you guys on what I am doing, and future plans for Crystal Story.
 
The Crystal Story games have been made using flash and it has slowly been deprecated over time. I have decided to shelve my current project for now and instead remake Crystal Story 1 and 2 using Unity. I have already coded most of the framework using the current project and I am going to use that as a shared code for all of the three projects.
 
For now, Crystal Story 1 is going to be the main focus and I have slowly been importing the sprites and coding their functionality. It is still really buggy, but I wanted to screenshot what I have so far. It’s going to be a mix of 2D characters and 3D environment. I am using the existing sprites that I made from Crystal Story 1 and pairing it up with some of the environments I made for my current project. Please let me know what you think. I should have a video probably next week.
 
I’m thinking of probably asking someone to remake some of the sprites. I don’t know yet though.
 
Sorry it’s taking so slow. I am only doing this on my free time as a hobby. I’ll try working faster now.
