A downloadable game


Description
This is a demo of a 2D game called Arcanium: Magic College. It is a turned-based Role-Playing Game (RPG) where you, the Hero, obtain the gift of magic and set off on an adventure to learn more about the secrets of your new magical powers. In this demo, you can play through the prologue, where you can fight monsters and explore the forest surrounding the Hero's hometown.

Version: 0.1
Currently, Arcanium: Magic College is designed for the
Quorum 7.0.5 programming language and the Windows 10 operating
system. Other versions of Quorum and other operating systems
are not necessarily supported, and may not work as intended.

Controls:
WASD         - movement
SPACE         - select/interact
ESCAPE         - open Teleport-To Menu
TAB         - advance selection forwards
SHIFT + TAB     - advance selection backwards

Accessibility:
Arcanium: Magic College was designed with a focus on accessibility, particularly for the blind and visually impaired, and the deaf and hearing impaired. Arcanium supports primarily the NVDA screen reader by NV Access, which is available at https://nvaccess.org. All necessary information to play the game is portrayed both visually and audibly (with the use of a screen reader).

Arcanium: Magic College was created as part of a Senior Design project by Albert Antero, Jania Carla Cunanan, Ryan Desacola, Ean Engdahl, Matthew Gordin, Maria Lisondra, Tyler Proffitt, Christian Saracay, and Lisel Anne Valdez. Source code is under the BSD software license and provides examples for how to use behaviors, load from JavaScript Object Notation (JSON), physics, and the use of focus for accessibility.

My Contributions to the project:

  • Created a Cinematic Sequencer tool for processing cutscenes.
  • Built cinematic behaviors such as NPC movement, color effects, and camera panning used to implement cutscenes.
  • Implemented all cutscenes.
  • Helped build an animation system to animate 4-directional sprites.
  • Edit spritesheets in Gimp and Photoshop, and edit Atlas files for animation.
  • Wrote the story, cutscene dialogue, and cutscene narration
  • Collaborated with level designers to sync maps with game narrative.
