IT'S FINALLY OUT!!!

My first commercial game and my first game under the Ioncom brand. It's an action, roguelite, dungeon-crawler with limited lives and permadeath.

It's currently Linux exclusive, but the source code is available and you should be able to compile it for anything that SFML runs on.

Why won't you buy my game?

Looking back on it, I should've included "No Demo" as an option. The only reason I didn't create a demo was that my game is FOSS therefore, freely redistributable, so I felt that including a demo was pointless even though it's a paid product.

I should have also put "You used AI" as an option because I did use AI and that makes me worthy of crucifixion in the eyes of many people, but I only used AI for backgrounds for the title screen and cutscenes, along with the prologue and epilogue text. I promise to only use AI sparingly and to prefer AI enhancement over AI generation, but I know that's not enough for the anti-AI freaks.

@All_bonesJones
1) Windows port is in the works
2) Nothing is original anymore

@xianc78 games still have USPs even if they're not original
elden ring's 90% copy/pasted from previous souls games but its USP is "open world soulslike"

@All_bonesJones My game is a Zelda-like, rougelike, dungeon-crawler.

@xianc78 See? That's most of the way there. Zeldalike instead of Soulslike is a start

@All_bonesJones Nintendo is just going to use their Zelda trademark to DMCA anyone who describes their game like that.

@xianc78 if i wasn't going to buy the game on principle anyway, it would be because there is no windows port.

@xianc78 i already had resolved to buy it but then had to use paypal which gives me only problems, starting with sms 2fa in a place with shit reception xD

I am not much of a gamer. I do play Tetris (open source clone) once or twice a year.
