BYOD: Bring Your Own Dungeon
A downloadable game
The theme for GMTK2020 is Out of Control. This instantly made us think about taking control of the player away but giving control over something else, such as a dungeon.
The original idea was to have cards represent a dungeon room and you have to play these cards down in a way that suits your player's stats (strength, intelligence, agility.) The player must make their way through a select number of rooms and then collect some sort of treasure or unlockables.
This was our first game jam, and I'm not gonna lie, it didn't turn out so great. My code started to get sloppy pretty fast, some stuff like jumping doesn't look so great, and the game didn't turn out as fun as we had hoped. Regardless, it was a fun experience and I look forward to trying again sometime!
If you check out the game, thanks! There isn't a lot to the version we came up with in the 48 hours but the general concept is there and I hope you have fun watching the glorified RNG with the stats that you pick out.
This game was created by myself (WispGuardian) and my good friends TheCardboard_Box and Dr Noodles. They both did a good amount of art that appeared in the game and helped with making some dungeon rooms, a lot of game design, and a whole lot of motivating to get us all through the weekend with a finished(?) game.
