The Beast is an upcoming flash video game. Set in fatasy world you are a runaway who lost his daugther in a forest. This retro-style action adventure offers both dynamic combat and non-linear story driven by NPC conversations.

very brief devlog:

2011-02: the idea, 2.5d prototype
2011-03: rendering and stealing placeholder models, geometry classes for collisions
2011-04: quadtree implementation for collisions and speed
2011-05,06: a hiatus
2011-07: a comeback! implementation of: A* pathfinding based on triangulation of waypoints, chat with dialog trees, splatter pixels
2011-08: basic AI and combat, variuos scripts for gfx (lowcolor, dithering, etc)
2011-09: serious AI improvements (obstacle avoidance, path following)
2011-10: optimizations (geometry, quadtree, pathfinding), converter for tiled levels, isometric mines level
2011-11: temporary break while working on Arbenklauss project
2011-12: back on track... new enemy, conversation bubbles, SAVEGAMES!
2012-01: split map into separate levels, triggers, zombie, npcs avoidance
2012-02: quicksave, mage, warlock, burninghands spell, improvments in wolf and warlock combat ai, stunlocking improvements
2012-03: boss snake gfx and behaviour
2012-04: player roll animation, snake battle continued
2012-05: writing dialogs, avalanche, earthquake and rolling boulder, serpent head dodge, viper
2012-06: fireball effect, wizard cutscene, minor collision detection fixes
2012-07: vacation time! (and break to work on The Cat, The Bear and The Rabbit game project)
2012-08: no progress
2012-09: still working on CBR project, yet it uses same engine. so there will be some major optimisations for pathfinding, collisions, etc.
2012-11: caching the pathfinding data for faster preload
2013-05: yes, yes, still on hold and focused on The Bear, the Cat and the Rabbit game.
2013-10: this train is delayed
