This was another game I made with Spyros which buildt upon our fighting game engine. This was my favorite of the 3. I liked the theme a lot and I thought that the art looked best in this one. It also had a more neat storyline and we had custom music made for this one which really increased the overall value.
This game was made specifically for the Tizen App Challenge. There was a lot of money in prizes available, and since we already had a fighting game engine and Game Maker recently started supporting Tizen we figured we’d try to submit something. Tizen is a new mobile platform which is designed to be a cheaper version of android. The makers wanted to populate their app library which is why they invested so much in this contest. I think they also influenced yoyogames to implement a tizen module in Game Maker Studio.
On a technical level I also added some new things. The enemies had more dynamic mechanics and your could select your levels from a map of europe which corresponded to the locations of the individual bosses. The game overal was more mobile friendly. You’d traverse through the story line by swiping the slides on the screen and you would also scroll through the map in this manner.
Many popular stories were told of his life, the most famous being The Twelve Labours of Heracles ; Alexandrian poets of the Hellenistic age drew his mythology into a high poetic and tragic atmosphere.
