back from the dead


im still not done with it and i kinda hate writing it tbh but it is honestly kind of important to me, though maybe thats just recency bias

Touchstones: Below, Fear & Hunger, Dungeon Synth, Disco Elysium, OSR movement, The Seductive Nightmare of Bloodborne’s Chalice Dungeons essay by Jacob Geller, Of Love & Eternity, Demon's Souls, Darkest Dungeon

I didnt really do as good a job keeping track of mechanical inspirations with this, although some that come to mind are Rune, Greed, Mörk Själ, Loot, Snowhack, Hexfall, Dungeon Bitches

criticism is appreciated, i want to make this good. praise is also appreciated :3

Stuff that should come soon:

  • Overworld map (before full release)
  • Starter dungeon & town (before full release)
  • more housing options
  • more pointlessly complicated and nonsensical rules for housing and economy
  • character sheet
  • small alt system hacked from Greed
  • more creatures/underlife
  • playtesting
