About The Semiradical

Introduction

Vintage cinema camera GIF-animation

The Semiradical is a game that I'm planning to work on after finishing other projects. It will be a large project.
Also, I'm planning to improve this page and add more information. Drawings on this page aren't what the game's visual style should be.


General

Star GIF-animation

Genre

Fast-paced 2D platformer

Gameplay

You are playing as Yaromir and your goal is to defeat Zinoviy. You will encounter his robots in walkthrough which are the enemies. You will also encounter some big robots which are the bosses.
At the finale, you will fight Zinoviy himself.

Key features

Plot

Zinoviy is going to take the world. Furthermore, he is going to take the whole lectreido race as slaves.
However, one of them, Yaromir, is very mad about this. He decides to take risks for freedom.
The game is set in Belarus at first quarter of 21st century.

Relation to ALTRADICAL

Both games have Yaromir as main character and other general things. It's because ALTRADICAL is based on The Semiradical. Despite that, ALTRADICAL isn't canon.


Characters

Yaromir

A risky 20 year old lectreido with the ability to run at crazy speed from birth.
He has created his own weapons for the adventure: a sword and a blaster.

Zinoviy

I can't say a lot about him. Just some mad human genius that wants to take over the world. He has ruined streets with his robots and other "garbage".
I'm planning to improve description and design of this character.

Track from the game - The First And Probably The Last Fight

Creation date: 6 July 2025 (current version), 28 June 2025 (original)

Description: This is the best track I've ever made. I'm talking about both the current and the original version.


Development

Toolbox GIF-animation

Concept

The concept originated a long ago, in 2022 year. It was about a dream game. The game's original name was "Project: Wetdarum", the game was originally set on a fictional planet named Wetdarum. The target visual style of the game is hand-drawn, but it originally was 16-bit pixel art.

Inspiration

Engine

The game will use own engine, probably written in C language with SDL library instead of ready-made engines.
