The Fallen Thorn

The Fallen Thorn is a pixel art open world RPG about exploration, dungeon delving, resource gathering, collecting randomly generated loot using a prefix/suffix system and building a town for yourself.

The main focus would be to find dungeons and clear them, collecting powerful artefacts called a Thorn from the boss. These Thorns give the player different powers and bonuses and will be the main driving factor behind story progression.

For the Game jam, we’ve had to cut out a lot of features including functionality to the Thorn due to time restrictions, but hopefully you can see the general direction this project is pointing towards.

Controls

WASD or Arrows to move.
Left click will attack in the direction your mouse is pointing.
SPACE BAR to Dash.
E to interact with objects and characters.
Q to enter the Shadow Realm
TAB to open inventory.

the world you build is beautiful and coherent, I wish the combat would include some animation cancelling with dashing, and a consistent way to heal all the damage that I take.

there is an issue with AZERTY kerboard: your engine automatically put ZQSD for movement (which is the equivalent of WASD on qwerty keyboards) but the button for shadow realm shift is also Q and doesn't change, So it took me a bit of time to understand why my screen lost colors sometimes lmao

There is potential in this game !

Beautiful art, amazing music and great animations, well done! I wish it was a bit easier cause I always die after three to four goblins and I want to see more of the world, I've died 5 times so far, also I can't seem to interact with the dungeon door or the big crystal thing.

Beautiful game, I'm jealous of your pixel art and music making, your entire team should be proud!
