Greetings from the\u00a0Victory Garden<\/a>\u00a0team. For our Mini\u00a0LD 50 submission, we demade Red Hook Game\u2019s upcoming squad management roguelike\u00a0Darkest Dungeon<\/a>, in the style of a Gameboy classic! The game\u2019s not been released yet, so we had to take liberties here and there, but we did our best to stay true to the spirit of the game.\u00a0Feel free to share your feedback and High Scores over on the project page!<\/p>\n

There are a lot more features we wanted to get to, including more monsters, Camp and passive Party Leader skills, a surface and dungeon shops, and a classic Text String save feature. If people like this well enough, we\u2019ll put together a Post-Compo Version with these features and more. But after a few day\u2019s rest\u2026 it\u2019s been intense!<\/p>\n

All assets, design, and the game engine itself were produced for the Mini LD 50 Jam. Other than a pre-existing Java code base, and a handful of graphical assets, all content and features were created within 72 hours (with a small break taken between sessions, because it was a practice run). The game was coded using <\/span>LWJGL<\/a>, and managed via <\/span>Trello<\/a>.\u00a0Audio was produced using <\/span>BFXR<\/a>, <\/span>Reaper<\/a>, and featured the <\/span>Elder Thing<\/a>\u00a0VST plugin. Story stylistic development was inspired by Jean-Paul Sartre\u2019s <\/span>Huis Clos<\/em>\u00a0and Joseph Conrad\u2019s <\/span>Heart of Darkness<\/em>.\u00a0Character names\u00a0came from\u00a0<\/span>Behind The Name.com<\/a>, and additional names and literary references run the gamut from European and Greek Mythology, classic Combat RPGs, and H.P. Lovecraft, to works of gothic literature<\/span><\/p>\n

If you like our stuff, feel free to check out our new devblog, <\/span>Victory Garden Games<\/a>,\u00a0where we\u2019ll be talking about LD plans, as well as some of our upcoming projects! Thanks a ton, and I hope you have a great time playing our game.<\/p>\n
