We made a roguelike for BTP Jam #3

So yeah, I made a new game with some cool people :)

Wolfenrahd and I decided to take part in the BTP Jam #3, and after brainstorming some ideas, we made the decision to make a roguelike game, where your main weapons are torches and your main goal is to reach the destination portal of each level! I’ve been wanting to create a game with torches as the main mechanic, and we thought this was the best jam game for us to include torches in it.

The theme was “Less is more”, and immediately we wanted to have as many relevances as we could for it. And here are the main set of rules we implemented to the game:

The less torches you carry, the more faster you are. The less hunger you have, the more slower you will be able to throw torches. The less health you have, the more damage you deal to enemies. The less specific type of food you collect, the more that type of food will heal you. The less steps you take to reach the destination portal, the more you will have hunger and health left by the end of the level.

Wolfenrahd was going to do the art and all of the music, while I would handle the programming and gameplay in Unity. But then suddenly…

The cover art, enemies, food, sound effects, and UI that you see in the game, were done by RykuzuStudios210!

The game was turning out very well from the beginning, until the very last hours of jam’s end. Sound effects and the main menu music were unable to be loaded in WebGL due to some unknown issue. However, you can still enjoy the rest of the game’s music on each level. For the best quality experience, you may download the Windows/MacOS/Linux versions of the game!

I really gotta thank Discord for our teamwork, as that was the only app that we were able to share files on and discuss while working on the game. We also met a few jammers too while hanging around in Blackthornprod’s Discord server’s voice chat! Some of them even took their time to make a character for our game, and these people are:
