Back with an update!

I've added new rooms. (Camp & Branch)
The campfire will currently fully heal the player while the other room gives you a choice of 2 rooms.

I've also added some new sprites.
@aegulli.bsky.social has also made some character skins!

I have figured out a way how I want to implement the traversal within the game. I wanted to keep it simple and made this tower like structure where you keep going up with only horizontal movement.

Next is to add different types of rooms.

Tried to look into how I want to implement the traversal in the game. For now, I created pre-made levels that get randomly selected with a "Champion" room every 3rd floor.
I'll have to go back to the drawing board to see how I'll approach this.

Another week another update.
Added the ability to obtain random items from chests. I added back the map traversal so that you can walk around and obtain these items and encounter different enemies.

Also added some temporary BGM.

Added the ability to equip different weapons and items that give passive effects. Next step is to have a place where players can find/buy items.

Small update
Player's stats and skills now get saved online when they defeat a "champion." So other players will encounter them as a champion in their game.

I have also added a "DoT debuff," as well as an indicator for the "total sequence."

Started to work on a new & smaller project.

Currently working on the combat system of the game, with the ability to choose a starting "class."

Next step is to get these "stats" into a database so that players can receive the stats of other players.

Hi all! I am excited to share that our team have recently released the alpha version of our game Inferno!

In our game you play as a demon hunter out to conquer the throne of hell. Will she reach her goal, or ultimately fail trying?

Been working on a personal project together with @aegulli.bsky.social.

The current idea is to make a roguelike game with online co-op through Steam. You can start a game and invite/join friends!

Next plan is to design and make a proper concept for the game!

Another 8 weeks has passed within the study. This time I tried something new and got into UI design.

I've worked on a modular tool for making card games. You can easily create cards & decks by using the data tables within the tool!

This is my most recent university project! We had to create a modular set based on a building in our town, following the style of #theorder1886

I am quite pleased with the result, but I will for sure work on it later on, so expect some updates at some point :]

I attended another gamejam!

We made "Drifted Away"

Drifted away is a side scrolling game where you play as a cloud and have to push a raft across the ocean. Be careful though! There are many obstacles you have to avoid when guiding the raft around.
