• Almost done
  August 04, 2019 by Andrew

  YAY, 42 minutes till the competition deadline I've added semi-decent combat system. It is quite punishing, so I may have to tune some gameplay constants, but otherwise game is complete and playable ;)... Continue reading
• Critters
  August 04, 2019 by Andrew

  Yay, I've finally managed to add some enemies to fight in the game. It's the best time to add the ability to actually kill them :D There's 3 hours left, so I think I can make it... Continue reading

• Open sesame
  August 03, 2019 by Andrew

  August 03, 2019 by Andrew

  All right, rushing in the GMTK Game Jam 2019 with the totally unique idea of making dungeon crawl (aka roguelike) with only one item in hero's backpack. For the tech stack I've chosen lovely Löve2d... Continue reading
