#### Rogue 'n Royal places you in the role of a messenger who needs to deliver a cure to the ill king within time.
Rogue 'n Royal is a lighthearted minimal adventure game where any conflict or challenge is resolved by a minigame. It's a rather short game to finish, but there are several little stories and secret to find on a new play-through.
Drawing simple art and creating a cute world is just a lot of fun!
The idea for a world made up of tiles with different dimensions was a concept I had in mind from the start. Initially I wanted to create a colony sim, but I couldn't find a satisfying implementation of the theme. So I switched to a roguelike/lite instead. I abandoned that idea suspecting writing generators would take too much of my time, only to find out that all the manual labor takes a lot of time too. Hence a very short game (yet with a lot to discover).
A hot topic, but I used ChatGPT to help me write the poems and flavor texts. I'm a sucker for narrative games, but since I'm not a native English speaker, it's not something I can pull off without external help. Still, the devil is in the details, and I had to correct and edit the texts quite a lot.
