Catacombs of Grim
About
This is a Tribute to the first RPG I ever played (back in the early 90's); Might and Magic II: Gates to Another World.
TLDR; There's a lot of stuff missing. I wish I had time to add them.
NOTE: I discovered a miscalculation in the character attack roll which is why the characters miss so many attacks. I am currently fixing it, and I may add some more content when I do. Keep checking in, if you are interested.
I ran out of time, so there are loads more to do;
- Magic hasn't been implemented at all
- There are only 2 weapons
- There are only 3 sets of armor
- There are only 2 monsters
- There is really no reason to explore the catacomb. There is no end goal yet
- There're a few bugs
I can still add these, but I needed to get this submitted.
Notes:
- The game is not meant to be played in full screen.
- To view the character in-game, press the character's corresponding number (not #). This confused me, and everyone else.
- There are treasure in most of the rooms, and none in the passages. Passages do have some consumables that may/may not help. Press 'S' to search the tile you are on.
- When you drop items, they will remain on the tile you are standing on. Search again to pick them up again.
- You can bash down a locked door, but those may set off a trap. Use a lockpick to avoid traps from triggering. You would obviously need to find a lockpick somewhere.
- The inventory is atrocious. This is how it was back in the day. Feel my pain...
- You can only equip weapons and armor, and only one of each type. In a perfect world, there would've also been some artifacts to buff your stats a bit.
- The dungeons are procedurally generated, so they never look the same. A minimap would be nice, wouldn't it? Along with a reason to be in the dungeon.
- There are 2 pregenerated characters, but you can create your own. They will be saved, but game state will not. Also, don't create more than 10 characters. I have not built a safety check, so the excess won't be saved. Or the game will break. Or something. Delete the ones you don't want.
Thank you Dan for the fun jam. I've always been threatening to make a RPG, and this had me going at it for many hours. Much fun. Much shoulder tension
