Condemned is my contribution to LD48 where you play as a Knight delving “deeper and deeper” into a claustrophobic & increasingly hostile dungeon, filled with skeletons that want to touch your face. Kill them!

Features:

+ Retro graphics & shaders inspired by classic dungeon crawlers.

+ 10 Floors of skeleton punching, sword swinging goodness.

+ A medieval art-style that clashes with more futuristic scenery the deeper you go.

+ A lo-fi synth melody on loop, which I made using 1BitDragon.

----------

Update v1.0 Changelog (5/3/21):

+ Tweaked stamina cost, damage, and attack speed of the sword & fists

+ Set the perspective to 3rd person (formerly 1st person)

+ Overhauled lighting to better fit dungeon setting

+ Adjusted depth fog shader to blur the player’s sight past a certain point

+ Added particle effects when either enemies or the player is dealt damage

+ Changed how enemies deal damage (fixes former bug where enemies deal damage to player without attacking)

+ Removed enemy health bars & adjusted skeleton max-health

+ Fixed blocking, player is no longer dealt damage when attacked while blocking (but does lose stamina with each hit)

----------

I’m very curious to hear your thoughts, and already have a slew of changes planned for update v1.5 (expected ~ 5/18/21).

----------

Planned v1.5 Changes:

+ Adjust how enemies are spawned, waiting for the player to be within a certain distance.

+ Add enemy knockback to player attacks.

+ Add one NPC the player can talk with to learn more about the setting.

+ Increase variety of level paths to make dungeon maze-like.

+ Add a brute enemy, with more health and heavier attacks than the skeletons.

+ Develop game’s song further, increasing length to decrease repetitiveness

----------

This was my first LD Jam, and my first Jam working alone. It’s been a blast so far, and I’m excited to see where all of our projects go from here. Cheers!
