Description

Embark on an epic quest in our dungeon crawler card game! Having finally reached the coveted treasure after a grueling journey, fate takes a sinister turn as you plummet into the depths of a dark dungeon. Now, your challenge begins anew: can you escape with your health, wealth, and sanity intact? Dive into the adventure and discover the perils that await in the shadows, where every step could be your last and every decision shapes your destiny. Will you emerge victorious, or become just another forgotten soul lost in the labyrinthine halls of the dungeon?

ART:  100% Hand drawn art by my daughter Jasmine Finamore (recently accepted into the Summer Residency Program at CalArts)

Sound Effects:  I did all the sound effects using my voice and random items around the house.  My favorite sound effect is the beginning where you take the treasure and fall into the first room.  I have a giant Jenga tower and recorded the sound of it knocking over and added a few other obnoxious sounds and threw it all into Audacity until I found something I liked.

Special Thanks to Caleb, Leeland, and Salem Parker for the background music

Background music:  The background music was written and recorded all during the game jam by my girlfriends' nephew and his dad.  We showed them the game halfway through the jam and they set up a little recording area in their house and went to work.  I absolutely love the song they made and the care they put into it.  The nephew is 11 years old and his name is Leeland Parker.  His Dad is Caleb Parker

Coding:  (Me) This was the simple part of the game.  Just a simple binary choice card game.  I used Gamemaker and basically created arrays for all the cards. I'm sure there was a better way to code the game (maybe constructs?? but the arrays worked and was easy enough.)
