"Pride: Legacy of the Lion" is a project undertaken during the final year of university studying, alongside projects such as Liberation and Ghost Hunter. At first glance, this short game demo appears to be a relatively simple, old-fashioned 2D platformer, and the key features of it are easily overlooked. For one, this project demonstrates excellent combined teamwork from a number of members who were also under pressure to finish their own projects. Despite a number of obstacles (including being the only team in the year not to feature a programmer!), a workable demo was produced and marked highly. |
As the only member of the team with any hint of programming experience (provided by projects such as Colony 2 and Colony 3:D), the role taken on "Pride" was programming, using a language known as "DarkBASIC". The code combined sprites and level backgrounds produced by fellow team members into a workable level. Not only was responsibility on this project taken for programming, sound files were also collated and processed into the game.
To download the game demo, click on the poster above. The controls for the game are as follows:
| Walk left | LEFT ARROW KEY | Walk right | RIGHT ARROW KEY | Jump | UP ARROW KEY | Block | DOWN ARROW KEY | Run | HOLD CTRL + DIRECTION | Roar | PRESS A KEY | 1 paw attack | TAP S KEY | Combo attack | HOLD S KEY | Climb | PRESS W KEY | Enter Stalk mode | PRESS D KEY | Pounce/exit Stalk mode | PRESS D KEY |
(Also note that if you tap Up, Down, Left, Right and then hold the "A" key and press "ENTER", you will activate an invincibility cheat! You'll know you've done this correctly when, instead of hearing a lion's roar, you hear a hyena's laugh.)
