Dungeons of Desire is back! (Patreon)

Hey everyone! It's been a while since the last update on the state of Dungeons of Desire, but I'm very excited to share what I've been working on.

In my last update, I announced a Steam version to be released in Spring of 2021 (which didn't happen.) I was working hard on polishing up everything into a product I could be proud of releasing, but ran into a load of technical and creative issues. A common game breaking bug featured in the last version of DoD caused players to see sprites replaced with black boxes, rendering the game unplayable. I found that the cause of the bug was due to a memory issue with the engine it was built in, and despite my best efforts to reduce the memory usage of the game, it was not possible. Additionally, as my technical and creative skills improved, I could no longer be proud of the work I put into the project. After much deliberation, I decided to rebuild the game from scratch, with a new art style, and more engaging mechanics, while keeping the core combat (1-handed controls) and roguelite elements in tact.

Dungeons of Desire now features a new protagonist (although Beth may make an appearance as an NPC,) and an all new original soundtrack made by the first additional member of the Fat Rooster team, whom I will be introducing in a later post.

I'll be sharing more information, including screenshots and a sample of what the new harvest animations will look like next week. I can't wait to share the work I've been putting into this project, and I hope you all like it as much as I do.

Also, I have some animations and other assets that I created in the iterative process that led to project as it exists now, that I'll be sharing exclusively on Patreon soon.
