Down in the Dice

Intro:

Built for GMTK Game Jam 2022.

Top down, 16-bit, Roguelike, Dungeon crawl

Solo developer

Controls:

    [WASD] Movement

    [space] Use action

    [r] Roll dice for next action

    [left-shift] switch between actions

Development:

• Made in Unity
• All pixel art is hand drawn or heavily edited with lots of inspiration images.
• All scripts are custom designed for this Jam. I didn't have anything for top-down to start with. 
• Procedural dungeon generation: made to scale with amount of rooms given and made scalable for multiple dungeon levels. Always 1 spawn, 1 item, and 1 boss rooms. Rooms are prefabs.
• AI: simply moves towards player location if within a given distance. Also can randomly move between waypoints.
• Character controller moves character in x y space, handles direction facing, handles sword, and animates character.

Remaining To-Do:

• In-game UI (health, roll, actions)
• Enemy damaging player
• Boss
• Better AI with A*
• Bow shooting
• Dodge roll or dash
• Magic spells
• Throwable Light
• Camera moves slightly toward mouse
• Items (increase action slots, speed, damage, size, more actions, etc)
•  Sounds
• End game screen (Score, play again)
• Start game screen (Roll dice and assign stats, assign actions to custom dice)
• when you roll dice in UI, particle system throws scaled dice in world
• Title

Random:

• My first game jam
  
• Created in 48 hours
• Total sleep 2 hours
• 1 energy drink consumed. (My first time trying one, is meh...)
