This is an early gameplay video for the game Tagged and I are producing. It’s a scrolling beat-em-up heavily inspired by River City Ransom on the Nintendo Entertainment System. The game also includes RPG elements, such as player stats which level up and the ability to learn new devastating attacks.
Nerd culture is a fundamental element of the game’s design style. Character design, plot, scenery and many other aspects of the game will include elements of nerd culture and video games. Humour will also be an important factor, with humourous cut scenes filling in the story between scenes.
We plan on having a few different levels, each with unique scenery, opponents and obstacles.

Looks really cool! I love the speech bubbles in the YouTube video lol
Are you using spriteManager for this? Looks quite spritely 
Good luck! Keep up the great work!
Thanks alot, yep using SpriteManager for almost everything. We’re running two cameras, one orthogonal for the GUI and foreground sprites, and the 2nd for the 3d background as well as sprites requiring perspective such as the clouds and trees.
There’s so much game play that wasn’t shown in the video but we hope to show off very soon. We’re at the stage now where a days work produces so many improvements and additions it’s very hard to stop yourself and just throw something out there to start getting opinions.
There will be some ranged weapons and a vehicle section shown next, which will show more depth to the game play and reveal the comedic nature of the game. Just waiting on some new animations to really show them off.
Awesome! Can’t wait to see the new stuff
