Well, I did add one enemy, but it is just a stronger variant of a previous one.

I'm thinking about what else to add. I could add more enemies, but I need to come up with enemy behaviors that don't require major reconstruction of the base Enemy class.

I don't know if I will add bosses because the player only equips a sword, which severely limits the potential for boss battles. Originally, I planned on having the player equip bombs for bomb-able walls, but placing such walls would've been difficult for the dungeon generation algorithm. Arrows and other projectiles seem kind of pointless. Either I limit the amount of arrows that can be shot/thrown, or I give the player unlimited arrows. The former would make it frustrating if the player was in the middle of a boss battle that required arrows and he/she ran out. The latter would effectively make the sword useless. That leaves only the boomerang as a possible second weapon.

Anyway, I don't plan on making this game grand or anything. This is really just a "practice game" for something I plan on making later on. That future game will have a much better dungeon generation algorithm.

OpenGameArt and itch.io have engine/framework agnostic assets that you can purchase/download.

@beardalaxy As Sakurai pointed out, some older games like Super Mario 64 would literally swap hand models for certain situations. I would probably do that, if needed.

I'm also perfectly content with leaving faces as 2D textures like you see in most cel-shaded games.

If I ever work on 3D games, I'm just going to use "mitten hands" or just make them literal circles because apparently, portraying them naturally when gripping is a huge no-no.

@beardalaxy Just out of curiosity, do you have any unused game music? You should consider uploading unused tracks to OpenGameArt.

@d7094945513d0072aa9e2d300c65fba336be751ef60eecbbf0d7a4871561d41a I did. Maybe it's not viewable from your Nostr client, or the Nostr-Fedi bridge is being funky.

Implemented saving and loading. Game saves automatically every time you enter a new floor, but you loose your save file if you run out of lives.
