Background:

Darkest Dungeon is a huge inspiration behind this game. I wanted to remake it to learn how it could be done, and since its 2D, I can make my own assets for this project. The characters and abilities are themed after the fantasy series Mistborn. All the code and art assets are done by me. I have been working on it since January 2020.

Controls:

  • Currently only has mouse controls. Recommended playing on full, widescreen (1980x1080 or similar aspect ratio) I have not fixed the scaling on it yet.
  • Bottom left corner has two tabs (red and blue) to switch between the map and the character stats/abilities. Clicking on the squares (rooms) on the map moves the party.
  • Combat is pretty similar to Darkest Dungeon, where you click a button to activate it, which highlights characters that can be hit. You then click the target you want to cast the ability on.

Currently working on:

  • Adding 2 new characters (almost done)
  • Adding items - adding costs to use abilities like ammunition.
  • Affliction and stress system

Final Plans:

  • 6 Playable characters, with changeable ability load outs
  • At least 4 enemy characters (1 Boss fight)
  • An full level containing a series of fights and intractable choices.
