A downloadable game for Windows

A game about a necromancer who lives in a tavern and summons things.  It was my first game that wasn't just a tutorial. 

Unfortunately this project would need to be re-worked very significantly in order to reach completion. Therefore this project is dead. But Hey if you like give it a download its a good example of a solo dev being way to ambitious with his hobby project.

In case your Shaun Spalding

  • Not looking for "feed back" as such this is more an example of what not to do when you're just starting out as a hobby developer
  • It's built on one of heartbeast's old tutorials  (sorry! I didn't know about you at the time!)
  • It's way too ambitious - its an arpg with levelling up and combat abilities which would require a huge range of enemies and abilities to play off without being too hard or too easy ... or be interesting
  • I had a whole range of character arcs and lore ideas that prevented me from seeing just how incomplete it was and how long it was taking
  • I had no point of comparison so I didn't realise that a first game shouldn't be ~5% done at the 8 month mark
  • It took me 8 months from start to "finish"!!!
  • It's unfinished
