Sir Bob: Squire for Hire (now with trailer!)

Radiant · Sun 06/11/2022 08:59:49

In the legends of King Arthur, meet Sir Launcelot the Brave! Sir Sagramore the Just! And Sir... Bob... who I'm sure has a great personality!

Take the role of the eager but clumsy squire Bob; as nobles, soldiers, and the Lady of the Lake all say you're too wimpy to become a Knight. Can you prove them wrong?

This lighthearted adventure game features well-known and lesser-known characters from the King Arthur legend, taking inspiration from the famous classics and offering fun for all ages. Any similarity to any person actually named Bob, or for that matter Launcelot, is purely coincidental.

A work in progress. Art and animation by Fizzii, story and script by yours truly.

Looking good! But I demand a minstrel somewhere!

Oh, I really like the last scene and that little bird! Curious on the music for these scenes!

There will be much rejoicing!

Thank you! We haven't actually recruited a composer yet, I should get to that this month.

Ooh this looks lovely! Also, I don't think there has ever been a better Arthurian hero name than Sir Bob.

Looking great.

Good luck with production. Any date for release in mind yet? Or too soon to thing about it?

Still a bit soon to think about because we have a lot to do still. Backgrounds are largely complete (bar one), and mostly animated, but I still need to animate portraits, and do additional animations for sprites (though walkcycles are all done).

Then there is all the programming of course

This looks delightfully promising. Beautiful work!

Now with real trailer!

(this is still a work in progress, it needs more animations and the music is a placeholder; but still, trailer!)
