Hello everyone!
My friends and I are a part of Rendered World, a fledgling indie game company. We are creating our first game in Java called Dungeons of Daggerhelm. It is an ARPG similar to Diablo and Realm of the Mad God except with loads of interesting twists of our own. If you have ever played either of these games, you'll have a basic idea of what DoD is all about: 4 unique playable classes (Paladin, Battle-Mage, Sorcerer, Ranger), lootable armors and weapons, dozens of enemies, bosses with unique and challenging abilities, multiple randomized maps with environment themes (snow, mountains, caves, Hell, heaven-like area), a leveling system to keep track of your character progress, and lastly, 4 player cooperative play. More content will be added along the lines of this, such as more classes, more enemies, in-depth environments and more dynamic bosses.
Currently, the game is pre-prototype stage. We currently have several important elements of the game already in place:
-mob animation logic
-player animations with cross-class animation logic
-player sprites for the Ranger, Paladin and Sorcerer
-particle spawners for explosions, collisions, blood and magic
-high definition spawn area sprites (grass, brick, mossy brick, wooden floor, which were recently updated)
Planned elements to be added to the game in the future include:
-enemy AI and sprites
-map portals
-randomized maps
-bosses
-main menu options
These will be a part of an active prototype.
If you want to follow Dungeons of Daggerhelm's progress, you can check our game profile out here on IndieDB. That is where all of the latest news, images, screen shots and videos will appear.
We are always interested in hearing constructive comments from our viewers as to what features the community would like to see in our game. The basic framework of our game is how we want it to be; however, we take all suggestions very seriously and we make sure to have plenty of interaction with the community of gamers interested in our game. Any suggestions for the direction of DoD is greatly appreciated.
Again, we're in very early stages of development and things are highly likely to change in appearance and operation. The community will have a large influence on those changes. We realize that there is not much to go on as far as visible content, but hopefully within the next few months we will be able to introduce interactive media to help you see where we're trying to go with DoD.
Thank you for reading this far and we hope to hear from you soon!
