dungeonyx release

Hi there. I’ve been working on this game for LOWREZJAM 2021 for the past 5 days or so. This was a super fun project to work on and it feels good to make something small for a jam. Like always, the source code is freely available and licensed under the MIT license. Some of the assets are also included. I did everything except for music and sound effects. For the past couple of months I’ve been brushing up on my pixel art skills so I decided to put that to the test.

Making a game in 64x64 was lots of fun, but it definitely has it’s challenges. The two main ones for me were - one, trying to make the art look good (like being able to understand what’s going on), and two, dealing with text in the game. I didn’t want to draw pixel art for all the text in the game, but loading it in dynamically also meant dealing with a more complex UI, which is increasingly more frustrating the lower the resolution.

I hope you enjoy the game.
