Hi everyone,
Since Dragon Ruins started as a Dungeon Crawler Jam 2024 game and the Steam version came together very quickly, I'd like to answer a few common questions.
[h2]How long is it?[/h2]
It's about 2-3 hours long. You can squeeze more playtime out of it by trying a different party or trying the NG+ mode, which gives monsters a small stat boost and increases their numbers.
[h2]How much will it cost?[/h2]
The base price is $4.99.
[h2]What are the changes from the jam version?[/h2]
Here's a short list:
[list]
[*] Redesigned the dungeon;
[*] Added two optional bosses;
[*] Added new monster types;
[*] Added party creation;
[*] Added 4 new character classes;
[*] Added magic circles that teleport you back to town;
[*] Added a shop where you can purchase consumables, such as Medicine and Teleporter Scrolls;
[*] Added fast travel back to town in exchange for half of your gold;
[*] Added scrollable fullscreen automap;
[*] Added new music;
[*] Added intro and ending sequences;
[*] Added strafing for fellow crab-walking enjoyers;
[*] Added a saving system;
[*] Improved status screen;
[*] Improved NG+ mode;
[*] Bugfixes and improved stability.
[/list]
[h2]Are there any localization plans?[/h2]
It depends on the sales of the base game, as well as regional wishlists. If there's enough interest, I'll consider it.
[h2]What's the source of inspiration behind it?[/h2]
The project was inspired by David Allen's Mordor: Depths of Dejenol. This project is a streamlined spiritual successor to measure player interest in this kind of game.
Thank you for your interest in my little project.
See you at the launch!
