Hello everybody, time to start a new devlog for our last project.



Paper Dungeons Crawler is a true classic 16 bits Roguelike, with a particular specialization system. Each class has 4 rune types with a fun draw to cast system. Shape your character based on his actions: if you want to specialize your warrior on bow, just use it more often.
Discover the mysterious Dungeons of Cyndaria and an extensive Lore to unearth. A plethora of creatures and magical items are waiting for you to step into ever-changing dungeons of diverse biomes and challenges.
Defeat Dragon bosses to unleash hidden runes and recover the famous Crown of Cyndaria to become the new true ruler of this kingdom.
Dungeons can be unforgiving: be sure to eat and rest in time, wisely use all your abilities. Nothing stops you from skipping bosses to rush deeper and deeper, but you’ll surely encounter true death if you don’t take time to level up your character and abilities at each floor.

Available now on Steam - Early access!

The heroes can now rest at will, restoring their health. This action of course consumes a fair amount of their nutrition bar.

The open doors can now also be closed to avoid being disturbed in your sleep.

Looks good so far. Are you going to be doing pets as well?
Also, how far down the rogue chain are you going to be going? Will there be unlocks or carryovers from runs? Potions / materials with randomized looks that you have to figure out? Etc.

Hello, pets are not on the priority list right now. But otherwise it will be a classic turn by turn roguelike, close to nethack in the gameplay with random levels and permadeath. Potions and scrolls with different looks on each run, hunger system, items to identify, etc.

Hi, I added now a bunch of mini icons to better visualize statistics and attributes on text and the character sheet.




Plus the ability to zoom in and out the game to get a better grasp of the level, without the need of a minimap. It also gives more a Nethack vibe, a reference for me.




And a brand new updated video of our gameplay!

Some neat new Patches v0.11 and 0.16. Stores & Skills

Hi everyone!

Another important patch: pieces of equipment now have a statistic requirement, so they can't be equipped if you don't meet this requirement.
This doesn't mean that a Magician with low strength can't wear any heavy armor. You can mitigate this with our new Skill system.

We're introducing 12 Skills for your character that can be improved with Skill points! You hero will now gain 1 new skill point per level, that you can choose to spend on one of those Skills. These skills can lower a specific statistic requirement, or raise your resistances, or even raise your combat abilities.



Game Balance:
Pieces of equipment now have a statistic requirement on STR, DEX, INT or WIS.
New Skill system, with 1 points per level to distribute. The 12 skills are: Athletics / Archery / Logic / Piety / Herbalism / Arcanism / Alchemy / Vitality / Marksmanship / Soldiering / Luck / Acrobatics.

UI improvements:
Added a new tab for the Skill system.
Icon alert when a new Skill point is available to distribute.

Fixed bugs:
Monsters can't be hit when placed on a trap or a zone effect.
Rooms too close to the map limit, without enclosing walls.
Many typos on the vendor and buff descriptions.
YES button difficult to trigger on the Vendor screen.
Vendor refusing to buy some unidentified items.


Patch v0.11
Dungeons stores are finally implemented, no more junk items in your inventory Smiley





Graphic Improvement:
Shades now appear on the bottom of the dungeon walls.

UI improvements:
In the inventory, focus stays on your selected item, even when you move it around.

Game Balance:
Stores are now implemented to sell your items or buy new equipment. They are found on the 4th floor of each dungeon.
Monsters now have less chances to drop equipments, but they have a higher chance to drop gold.
The maximum damage absorbed by your armor is now 90% vs Physical and 50% vs Magical.
The maximum damage of 60 hit points is now only applied to monsters. The player's damages are no longer limited to a maximum.
You player will now automaticaly get out of fight if he is not in combat for more than 6 turns.
Your WISDOM and INTELLIGENCE bonuses now impact the base speed of appraising.
VETERAN MODE: This mode now only allows Normal or Tough difficulty.

Fixed bugs:
Monsters spawning on top of solid items, like doors and tombstones.
Trees' sprites on zone 2, 3 and 4 appearing under the player and items.
Faery health & mana healing not appearing on the player statistics.
Items bumped repeatedly by the player like the paid chest staying out of position.

Compatibility Improvement:
On PC, the game now supports DirectX9 and Windows XP. So it should be more compatible with older systems and graphic cards.
OpenGL Core (3.2 to 4.5)

Thanks all for your interest, happy gaming and thanks for your support!
