Also, the game seemed to glitch out crazily when I finally won - like it was playing the 'win' method every frame or something.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>Gameplay quibbles aside, graphics were lovely, very thematic, good job."},{"author_name":"goerp","author_uid":"14225","time":"Dec 17, 2012 @ 7:24pm","epoch":1355771940,"text":"This one I played for quite some time. This is a very playable game. At no moment did I realise that this was a game that was made in 48 hrs.\r<br\/>I wasnt't able to unlock the items 2 and 4 though.\r<br\/>Rooms overflowing with zombies. Cool!"},{"author_name":"pillbrain","author_uid":"18955","time":"Dec 17, 2012 @ 10:57pm","epoch":1355784720,"text":"Seems pretty fun, although I think it could have used an extra combat build choice or two, the zombies are quite weak and with the one option it hurts a little. Also I wasnt entirely sure what the dungeon value did."},{"author_name":"Keevor","author_uid":"7162","time":"Dec 18, 2012 @ 3:55pm","epoch":1355845800,"text":"Neat game, although the amount of rooms was kinda pointless, two would have been good."},{"author_name":"hints","author_uid":"18151","time":"Dec 18, 2012 @ 4:00pm","epoch":1355846100,"text":"Very dungeon keeper. Kind of slow paced though."},{"author_name":"Gravity Games","author_uid":"17764","time":"Dec 18, 2012 @ 4:17pm","epoch":1355847120,"text":"This is really nice! Its really fun to play once you find a good strategy. The sound effects and graphics are both really nice. The only problem is that when you win, the hit sound effect keeps playing over and over really fast.Fix that (and maybe set the placing of objects to a grid), and this game would be even cooler. If you were to continue this, the first thing I would suggest (aside from fixing the sound glitch at the end) is to add more enemies. The zombies are really weak, and it takes a good amount of them to kill any heroes."},{"author_name":"Prealpha","author_uid":"15691","time":"Dec 18, 2012 @ 4:24pm","epoch":1355847540,"text":"This is very similar to a design I've being mulling over for a while. It could be interesting to add some risk-reward concepts, for example, putting an item that heals the hero makes traps cheaper, you can put chests withe weapons in exchange of being able to hire stronger monsters, and so on.\r<br\/>One problem is to provide enough building freedom while making the hero move around the dungeon in a way that feels reasonably smart... sorry, digressing.\r<br\/>Good stuff."},{"author_name":"shaneshanekavanagh","author_uid":"19140","time":"Dec 18, 2012 @ 4:31pm","epoch":1355847960,"text":"This game really makes me dislike heroes. Good job!"},{"author_name":"caranha","author_uid":"7847","time":"Dec 22, 2012 @ 5:40pm","epoch":1356197700,"text":"Very interesting concept. The dungeon might be a bit too big though. Maybe start with only two or three rooms, and expand as necessary? I played three times and I don't think I've seen the entire dungeon.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>Also balance could be improved a bit to make the game more dynamic (making heroes, skeletons and hearts spawn faster)\r<br\/>\r<br\/>Thanks for the game!"},{"author_name":"Neonlare","author_uid":"1913","time":"Dec 28, 2012 @ 5:15pm","epoch":1356714600,"text":"Great game for the mood and theme it created, but the dominant strategy of a can full of zombies was something I ended up using as well :(. The rooms didn't have too much function. Still very impressive for something made in 48 hours!"},{"author_name":"Benjamin","author_uid":"2952","time":"Jan 3, 2013 @ 12:53am","epoch":1357174080,"text":"I disagree about the previous comments about useless rooms numbers. Your gradual price balance is the solution. If the best strategy is to build all the pits in one room, I guess that just increase +X per room should be enough. I think that more traps and specific heroes would have make the game more enjoyable, but for 48 hours it's still very playable."}],"images":["ld25\/15410-6ac91a5543ef9103ae033918655ba236.jpg","ld25\/15410-6e260c29090c10a98a070cefc4fd8015.jpg"],"links":[{"url":"http:\/\/people.ds.cam.ac.uk\/ifa20\/Dungeon%20Tycoon.zip","text":"Windows"},{"url":"http:\/\/www.ludumdare.com\/compo\/ludum-dare-25\/?action=preview&amp;uid=15410","text":"*Please Read Info Below*"},{"url":"http:\/\/people.ds.cam.ac.uk\/ifa20\/Dungeon%20Tycoon%20Source.zip","text":"Source"}],"metadata":{"g_key":"27578","g_author":"15410","g_event":"LD25","g_eventkey":"14","g_subevent":"COMPO","g_urlkey":"27608","g_title":"Dungeon Tycoon","g_status":"UCHK1","g_place":"233","g_commentcount":"12","g_site2_node_id":"0","g_hide":"N","g_has_icon":"Y","g_rqueue":"0","g_random":"0"},"nds":[],"node":null,"orig_images":["http:\/\/ludumdare.com\/compo\/wp-content\/compo2\/\/201083\/15410-shot0.jpg-eq-900-500.jpg","http:\/\/ludumdare.com\/compo\/wp-content\/compo2\/\/201083\/15410-shot1.png-eq-900-500.jpg"],"text":"----------------------------------\r\nDungeon Tycoon\r\n----------------------------------\r\nby Neoentertainment\r\n----------------------------------\r\n1) Intro\r\n2) How to play\r\n3) Credits\r\n----------------------------------\r\nIntro\r\n----------------------------------\r\n\tEmail\r\nFrom: Secretary@LoEvil.com\r\nTo: XxProNecroxX@hotmail.com\r\nSubject: URJENT-Misson LoE\r\n\r\n\tThe epic hero has been\r\nrampaging the lairs of all the\r\nleague of unspeakable evil(TM), and\r\nthey will arrive at your lair to\r\nslay you, the president of the\r\nleaugue of unspeakable evil(TM),\r\nRupert Murdoch, has warned you\r\nthat soon the hero shall arrive at\r\nyour dungeon to slay you.\r\n\r\n\tYou must ready yourself by\r\nlooting the corpses of those\r\nfoolhardy adventurers who dare to\r\nenter your domain in an attempt\r\nto earn fame and fortune.\r\n\r\n\tSlay him and you shall know\r\nendless riches the world shall be\r\nyours to do with as you wish.\r\n\r\nP.S.
