gaming My new game.

[Codelyy 1,289]

Me and 3 other friends have strangely decided to make a game using Unity. 

 

We currently don't know the name of the game but it will be a 2d roguelike platformer where you explore randomly generated dungeons to find a key somewhere in the dungeon and exit out of a door randomly placed that will either take you to the next level or boss. There will also be enemy's in the dungeons to try and kill you. The game is no where near ready yet but those are just are ideas for the game and right now we are going for it.

 

The graphics of the game are going to be nothing special sadly as we only have one person doing art. It will be 8 bit and will be available for PC.

 

I would just like to know what people think of this idea?

Sounds...generic...offense, I think there all Ned to be some unique ideas here to make it worthwhile...I can't think of anything worthwhile, but I'm sure someone can...

Well...maybe one idea...make the gameplay centered around something interesting...

What you mean centre the gameplay around something?

It can't just be "hey, get the key, then get to door" that's not exactly very interesting...had a small gimmick, and work on it...or a big one that won't get too convoluted...just make it fun really...

How about a 2d roguelike platformer including different playable characters and creative bosses. Each playable character has different ability's from each other and weapons including secret characters.

 

Maybe a random event function where random powerful monsters can spawn and attack the player or spawns a large amount of the same monster.

The characters and weapons stuff sounds cool, and if you're gonna do that random event thing, you better have a good reward for it

Maybe a chance to unlock a secret character.

Maybe, or mega loot or something...

Alright, but it's also kinda sounding like rouge legacy so far...not that that has to be a bad thing...
