Vision

Heavy mist binds together elements of few old-school role playing games from the ‘90s and early ‘00s. In some modern games, after your character advances to next level player actually have nothing to do. In heavy mist a lot of emphasis is placed mainly on character development. An opportunity of choosing different professions during character progression allows the player to experience the game in his/her own way. Strategic combat system and self adjusting level of enemies in accordance to players level, provide a constant challenge, thaks to this gamer does not fell like beeing lead by the hand like some new games. An important role in the game fulfills also exploration of the world which is randomly generated and expands whenever you start new game, thus providing a sensation of starting journey into unknown.

Heavy mist is isometric-like 3D game, where you can zoom in and out the camera and rotate it around character but it’s locked at a 45 degree angle to even further bring out the mood of classic PC games. Thanks to the fact that it is a browser game you can resume it anywhere you like. To play you only need a middle class PC that is connected to the internet (soon game will be released to mobile devices).

Plot concept

·  In heavy mist you take the role of a warrior who was shamefully assassinated, but could not acces the nether world due to fact that he did not die on the battlefield, only when your reedem your shamefully death by the Gods will grant you the afterlife you deserve. (mythology of heavy mist resembles this from Vikings beliefs).

·  Strategic action combat resembling that one from the classic rpg pc games. Your team can consists up to three members, at anytime you are able to pause with space button and give commands to each character in your team or you can just play only one character then rest of the team is controled by an artificial intelligence

·  Each character can choose among six various professions (more in future) and after earning required level there is a possibility of linking professions, for example you can merge mage and warrior, and then when character reaches even higher level you can choose a prestige class in this case battle-mage which extends two basic professions

·  Self-generating world – areas connected with the main theme plot and some special areas stay the same, while all side branches/paths, dungeons, caves are generated randomly, thereby increasing the games re-playability

·  Building creator – using an in-game editor you can create your own buildings, where you can rest, hold items etc. There are plans to give the player a possibility of build also fortifications as well as your own cities

·  To make game more challenging, when you come back to previously visited areas (like dungeons or caves) there is a chance to respawn even stronger enemies than before (with unique abilities). Stronger enemies give a lot more of experience

·  Bestiary of heavy mist contains both: classic fantasy creatures such as: griffin, wyvern, dragons and the new ones not found anywhere else such as: teltok (small bipedal boar) or batquito (hybrid of bat, mosquito and octopus)

·  Bleached tone colors, makes that game have dark atmosphere and sense that anywhere can be something unpredictable

Practically the whole game (excluding some public domain textures and music) was done by one person.  Development of this game isn’t a side project and it does not take only spare time at the weekends, but is a full-time job, which takes about ten hours or even more. Works on heavy mist has been going on for almost two years. In this moment demo of the game is tested, which soon will be available, and in case this campaign succeeds, releasing date of heavy mist in 1.0 version is predicted to first half of 2017.

Heavy mist is created in webGL, which is relatively new technology (in other worlds it is a 3D on the browser). So far webGL games are mostly small projects or demonstrations of the possibilities. Heavy mist is an attempt to prove, that browsers can handle bigger titles and no longer be identified as platforms of games for kiiling the pass time.
