@VastleCania and I have been asking eachother a question repeated basically infinitely the last few days?
it sort of goes like this
GRIM GLAMFIRE: hey, what if there was a random dungeon game?
VirtualClint: yeah like a dungeon but random?
GRIM GLAMFIRE: yeah like some sort of…random dungeon
VirtualClint: yeah. like a dungeon that’s randomly made.
we decided to bring to you the fruits of our Labor (coming soon)
what if you were this man:
and before you was a dungeon. not just any dungeon: a random dungeon. A dungeon holding the Gognio
VirtualClint and I want to bring you that sort of dungeon, a dungeon that could be played on a PC.
enemies that can be killed by the player. skeletons!
excited? what if we told you this game had a system that @VastleCania and I are calling
“Persistent Living Syndrome”
just like real life, any decision you make lasts forever and cannot be changed.
did you press “q” to 'q’uaff a potion you 'u’sed in your 'i’nventory? it’s gone but only forever.
WARNING: DYING IS ALSO A DECISION
now finally I know what you’re thinking
so here is a glimpse of a possible future:
well right now it’s playable, if you ignore the fact that you get stuck in a single room and skeletons are one hit kills and there is nothing else going on.
there’s never been a game like the one we’re making before
we were thinking "what if…the dungeons you play through on a table-top also existed inside your personal computer? (or apple Macintosh)"
it seems crazy i know but clint and i are committed to this
We really want to capture that feeling of being under the shoe of a merciful, but still ultimately mysterious, Game Master (or as they call them in Advanced Dungeons & Dragons, a Dungeon Master)
We’ve been sitting around the DM table for weeks now asking ourselves this question, and as a matter of fact: it’s taken over our very being. Clint and I can’t even get out of bed without asking eachother:
“Could there be a super rare possible chance of encountering another adventurer!!! Possibly friendly or possibly not!!”
As much as I would like to defer to @VastleCania and I mean I still will, what if, instead, the opportunity was running into the worst possible version of yourself?
