Always dreamed about developing your own gaming app for the iPhone and iPod? Well, turn your dreams into a reality! Hear from the guys at Terato Tech as they share how they developed Qalvinius, a new home-grown, all-Malaysian (Yeah! Malaysia Boleh!) RPG game.
They’ll be previewing the game and sharing their experiences on how the game came to be. So if you want to learn more about game development for the iOS, this is the talk for you!
Here’s a little of what they have to say about Qalvinius:
Qalvinius started out as an idea, for a game that any casual gamers can dive in and play. The idea was to have an interactive world where there are various in-game characters players can interact with, and alongside immerse the players in a storyline that will keep them hooked to the game. As it stands right now, Qalvinius is probably the most immersive 2D side scrolling RPG game a player can ever experience.
Starting from the town where the player first entered, the player will be able to roam around towns and lands to meet characters that will provide the player with more details about the monster that lurks around the island. Aside from that, players can also take some time off monster slaying by going to various merchants that allows the player to gain virtual prizes in the form of mini games.
Development of Qalvinius is separated into two parts, story development and engine development. Qalvinius itself is based on an in-house built game engine named “prototype”, which itself provides the framework that allows story editors to freely implement their story as it is written on paper. It’s flexibility frees the programmers from the burden of rigidly programming the game to fit the story, and provides editors the tools they need to form a well designed game. Therefore, we are extremely proud of Qalvinius, both as a full featured game and a decent game engine by itself.
We believe that people will find Qalvinius a fun and enjoying experience, as it features a light hearted story combined with monsters slaying action.
