Thank you! It is 2D.

The graphics are definitely amazing to start off. I like the name choice for the project too, named after the poems/oprah?

Do you have any story ideas in mind yet? Because the name definitely inspires a musically based game to me. Very interested  ;)

Thanks! Nook really did a good job on those tiles, I really like them alot. Aeroplane has 'invented' the name, not sure where it originates from, but I like it as well. :)

My primary language is not English, so I will have trouble writing a decent story that fits the name 'Mavra'- I know how it looks in my head, but I'll probably need someone to translate that for me, haha.

[Irhymer]

haha yea, after a google search, it's the name of a series of poems and an oprah in the 1930's.

As for writing, I think I'd be willing to help out. I'm a writer, and if I like your ideas, I think I'd try my hand at writing for this project a bit. ;)

The name comes from the latin Arva, meaning arable land. (I.e. Cultivated) I reversed the order of the words and added an M because I felt it looked better.

Thanks,
Aero/EBrown

so it going to have 8 direction movement?
maps looks like 2,5d xD but any way good job!

[Socuine]

@Zopto:

> so it going to have 8 direction movment?

It may or may not contain more than 4 directional movement, that's something we have to plan out accordingly.

I'll probably throw 8 direction movement in it for shits-and-giggles.

The map is 2D, but the sprites are so good it looks 2.5D.

Thanks,

I might take you up on that offer, Jake. I appreciate your interest.

Beautiful graphics :D

[JeffSventora]

Looks awesome so far guys. If you need any programming help feel free to ask, good luck!

[Marsh]

Looks sweet, i also demand bigger screenshots.

[Helpmeplz]

I have a feeling this is going to be really good. Looking forward to more updates.

[AeroEBrown]

It looks like….I am gonna have to reprogramme the entire source I used to have from scratch. The old source I had was 6366 lines of mostly garbage...>.>

Either way, getting started now, hopefully I can have something to show soon.

Thanks,

Thanks Jeff, if we need an extra pair of hands we'll be sure to grasp with whatever we can reach, thanks!

Thanks Marshy Dearest. I'll look into bigger screenshots.

I can honestly say that I share that feeling. :)

I have modified the first post guys!

**A few things are added:** Features, Endorsements and the License.

Best regards,

Agreed, they surely do!

| **16-08-2012 Update:** Let's enter this Cave! |

A new tileset has been created, this time featuring a Cave! Several things can be indentified:

* Mushrooms
* Spider web
* Water
* Pillars


Check the first post for a modified look, featuring styled tables!

Are you sure you want to set 1280 × 720 as a minimum resolution? 2D games are often played by people with awful computers or old hardware, so your safest bet would be to start at 800 x 600 for the sake of compatibility and to draw the largest crowd you possibly can.

I agree. Also the clifs in the cave look amazing they remind me of an old tileset i saw somewhere before.
