My first Ludum Dare entry!!
Also worked on game solo.

Ludum dare 45 entry by "HiveMinds"

Theme - "Start with nothing"

Title - "SwordMaster"

DISCLAIMERS:
Crude language - If it bothers anyone of you guys.
Only windows build was tested - Please comment if you seem to be getting problems!

I started out with tackling this theme - just as confused as everybody else.
The logical way to approach this theme, was to have an entry where you gradually evolve the capabilities of the player / game the farther you progress.

I saw a unique twist I could take this:
You start with nothing. But you don't gain anything at all.
The game is designed to let you really play with whatever little you can do and how it affects the environment.

So in the end, you start with nothing but you do gain something - experience, skill, knowledge.

STORY:

"""

Play as a master swordsman, entering finally his 1st real dungeon to smite all who stand before him with his mighty sword!!!

At least I hope he does.

...

Is that his sword here near the couch?

HEY WAIT UP!!!!- Welp he's already locked inside.

.....

Hope it goes well......

Would love feedback (even negative feedback is welcome)!!
