Legend of Dungeon is a 4 Player Co-Op Roguelike-like Beat'em'up with dynamic lighting on awesome pixel art. Launched: Nov 20, 2012 Funding ends: Dec 16, 2012 Legend of Dungeon is about looking for treasure in a dungeon full to the brim with monsters. Legend has it there is a massive treasure all the way down on the 26th floor. Your quest is to go down there, get the treasure, and make it back to the surface alive.THE DEMO:This is a limited time kickstarter demo of the incomplete game. Many features and some balancing are still in progress, but its already a lot of fun to play!Also, be sure to like the game on Steam Greenlight!THE GAME:It is part Beat'Em'Up, like those awesome old-school 4 player arcade games (it plays a little like TMNT and X-Men) and it's part RogueLike, in its setting and content generation. Features: 1 to 4 Player Cooperative Gameplay Real-Time Beat'em'up combat Permadeath ...except with 2 or more players, you become a ghost, and have to collect spirit orbs to resurrect yourself. You'll come back with low health, but you'll be back in the game. Once you're all dead though, thats it, game over man. Dynamic Lighting and Real-Time Shadows Legend of Dungeon uses 3D Normal Mapping on low-res pixel art to create dynamically lit sprites. The Artwork Based on the character designs of Sebastiaan van Hijfte (svh440 of r/PixelArt fame). Each character is adapted and animated for use with the dynamic lighting. Dynamic Music The music generates from tracks composed by David Dirig, it dynamically assembles based on the types of enemies you are confronting. Randomized Content Dungeon Layout, Monsters and Item placement, Potion Colors and Devices are all randomized each playthrough. Online Score Board describing how you died and how much gold you collected. DRM Free because no one wants that. Windows Mac and Linux Legend of Dungeon is made with the Unity game engine. What's left to Make: Online Score Board More Tile Sets - lots, crazy amounts Many more Monsters More Bosses - Vampire, The Devil, Bloated Zombie, Unicorn, etc... Tons more Melee Weapons Devices - Artifacts left in the dungeon that when activated help (or hurt) the players. Dynamic Music System REWARDS:The Poster, it's pretty awesome. (work in progress)(work in progress)Drawn by the amazing Alix, goddess of chaos and kittens, etc.The Soundtrack is the dynamic music from the game assembled by David Dirig into themed individual songs. Also Includes "The Ballad of Dungeon" sung by Alix.STRETCH GOALS:Our kickstarter goal is really just the bare minimum of what Legend of Dungeon could be.

The developer, Calvin (Robot) spends almost every waking hour hacking out code and dreaming up new worlds, when not in front of the computer he's staring into space working in his head. His muse, Alix (Kitty) has been taking care of evil marketing and press releases, and other scary things Calvin doesn't like to think about... but lately she has been more active creating art assets for future games.Our previous work, Neverdaunt:8bit was an IGF finalist in 2011. Our studio and home is a treehouse, in the woods (in the summer) where we happily make videogames all day ...and play with kittens.We are kickstarting the game to pay the composer, purchase Unity Pro, buy a new dev machine, and of course, more coffee. Risks and challenges Learn about accountability on KickstarterBalancing, this is tough in any game of complexity. We need to make sure the flow of the game feels just right.The Dynamic Music is still just in the conceptual stages, it's going to be tricky to pull off without getting in the way of gameplay.Our ability to handle these risks and challenges comes from an unending perseverance and love for our work. Making great games is what we want to do.

We got to hear some of the early versions of the soundtrack, and it is going to be AMAZING. He said he'd have something we can upload to show off sometime next week!We are now in the top 100 on Steam Greenlight!!!

Whats New: Goblins - obnoxious, but not deadly. Revised Monster Distribution You may find high level monsters off their level rarely, be careful. Polymorph Magic Book Miner Helmet Nerfed the Excecutor... although he's still scary, run away. Modified snake attack range... and a bunch of other little fixes and alterations to hitboxes Made the Kickstarter link more shiny
What's new: Improved Monster AI Monsters should try harder to get around objects and wont take being shoved up into walls anymore... still room for improvement. Improved Monster/Rare Item distribution Previous Item Button Added Jump Button Changed Jump time is now determined by how long you hold down the button. It was a bit hard to land on things once you downed 20 jump potions... now you can stop jumping platformer style. Item Names! Descriptions of Items appear breifly when you first hold them Orc's A Bastard Sword and a Tommy Gun added Swords cause you to thrust forward a bit, Shields allow dashing, and Guns have a kickback. Versioning! this one is "Alpha Apple"
