Steampunk Abyss (VideoGamester)

Steampunk Abyss is Rougelite with procedurally generated levels. The goal: Make it to the surface. Blast your way through the automatons that have kept the citizens of the underground city, Duc Pointe, trapped below the surface. 

Steampunk Abyss is at its heart a game about designing crazy weapons, modding them each run using our Byte system to take them to the next level. Its about designing  abilities - from support abilities to protect you from bullets to the more bombastic attack abilities that vaporizes enemies. The core gameplay loop consist of:

• Mix bytes to get new Elements, Abilities, Shapes, or just higher stats
• Set up your build of guns and abilities
• Blast your way through the levels
• Loot

Each run the Labyrinth shifts. New Bytes and enemies appear as you get further into the dungeon. Each run adds to your power and allows you to come closer to the surface. Scrap enemies remains to receive some gears to spend on upgrades and maybe find a new interesting Byte.

At this point we mostly only have the Integer Bytes for your guns complete. Our element mixing system is also functional, but currently does not effect play. It is also missing some elements that are coming soon.

The team has been working on Steampunk Abyss for about a year and a half. At the start I was only able to work a few hours here and there as I was attending school and working full time. However I was finally able to quit my job and focus on building a prototype and put together a team. We are now working full time to get this project off the ground. I am excited to be putting this project out there. 

The Team

Jordan Shelton - Lead programmer and designer. I have 12 years of programming experience and 10 of that is in Games. I have also dabbled in Gamemaker, Godot, Unity and Unreal at various times in the past. I love games, especially as a tool for story telling.

World Wide Web Surfing Dinosaur (Kyle Rausch) - I am an amateur musician from Canada. By day, I work in the food industry. By night, I compose music and play the tuba in a local band. When I'm not doing any of those things, you'll likely find me playing a mix of video games and board games, baking the odd cake or getting lost in a good book. I have been composing music for myself and various unpublished projects for 8 years and I have a B.A. in Music. The main program I use is Logic and I'm also in the process of learning how to use Little Sound DJ. I am the team's music composer.  If you'd like to hear more of my work, check out my youtube channel or my sound cloud page: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCtcr89GT0r6tVkG7BYm1P9A https://soundcloud.com/www-surfing-dinosaur-554024736/tracks
