I'm glad the linux build works. :slight_smile:
Yes, unfortunately we didn't end up having enough time to work the rest of those things out.
Thanks for playing and giving your feedback! :thumbsup:
Funny stuff aside, nice game. A bit harder for azerty keyboards, though.
The backgrounds and lighting are really cool, and it's too bad you didn't put monster models in.
Thanks for your feedback!
We would've loved to have done more polishing and finished adding our character models & animations.
The issue with the azerty keyboard is a good point we hadn't considered. We left out things like configurable controls to save on time, but it'd definitely be something we should add in case we keep working on it.
And fighting as a core mechanic was sadly not so much fun, because only clicking enemies didn´t feel right.
XD, nice work, a few funny things i.e. weapon holding positions made me chuckle, a nice effort for the Jam :3!
Any chance of a post-jam build?
@magnanix and thanks for the making me chuckle with your little epilogue :)
In regards to your question, @phoenix-fireflower, we did do a few fixes and small polishing which we definitely plan to release soon, just gotta get @mrblue to upload the builds :stuck_out_tongue: Those are however as I said, mostly small fixes.
Properly positioning held items turned out to be more of a problem than we thought with our current state, so that won't be a part of it for now.
I'll check with the others if we could get some enemy models, more animations, and maybe even some more levels in.
A few things: The rooms were very dark. And as mentioned above, the sword
In the little post-release update we've been working on, there will be torches in the side rooms :)
Enemy models are still missing for now, but feel free to check the changelog for v3 on the page here for what changed.
The combat does indeed need some work to be more skill-based but we didn't have the time during the jam and didn't want to completely change that in the post-jam release for now.
I'm glad you enjoyed it overall.
