This is my first Jam and I made a lot of last minute mistakes leading me to late submission. I don't know how this works yet but I wish I could at least upload to see how it can be received.
Summary
---------
I have finally uploaded everything. I was late for my submission so please consider my first LD as a sort of a test run rather than an official sign up. But even though I was late the game itself was made within 72 hours and I learned a lot for the last 3 days.
I made a game that is a prototype of the kind of adventure games I used to play as a game and wanted to play. This was my first time attempting build at least a semblance of a dungeon.
Things to consider for the next LD:
- Focus on the main base game and then proceed to polish it
- Pixel art takes as much time if not more than regular art. Specialize in an art style in advance
- Prepare tons of more base code and mend the rough edges of your skills and engine related knowledge base
- Do not underestimate the time it takes to build, error-check, and publishing the game
Fixed itch.io Link, made public (5/1/2019)
Bug fix TODO list (8/3/2022):
- UI layer issue (character head above key guide)
- Music looping only once
- Monster gens immediately and indefinitely (without quantity limit per gen point)
- Incorrect monster stats (too fast, too strong etc.)
