Cyclops Dungeon - Game Design

Gameplay ~

Hi, my name is João Gabardo, I'm a Game Designer :D

I'm going to show you a little bit of one of my first projects as a game designer that I worked on from the concept of the game to programming, I had already worked with other games creating designs and layouts, but this was the first one I was able to implement in the game engine.

I created the concept of the characters, the environment, the mechanics, this work was done from a ready-made game, but I made several modifications until it became a single game.

Here are some samples of the levels, I thought this game could be something related to the exploration of the scenario, in which you have to walk and look for paths until you reach the magic chest that will take you to the next level.

If wanna play, just use the link above and have fun :D

Here some samples and sprites of the main character!

This character came from an idea I was working on at the time, I started an animation where some characters were cyclops, you can check out a piece of the animation at this link ~> https://youtu.be/I22C_I3t6pI

Here's an example of how the mechanics of the statues work with the bridges, also some sprites from the magic chest. I think it's cool this idea of having to explore the level and figure out how to get to the end of it.

We got to the part of the enemies, these were very fun to create, as the hero can't attack I made them in a way that they had this toxic aspect, if you touch them you lose a life and the level will be restarted, if you want to test the game just access this link ~> https://www.construct.net/en/free-online-games/cyclops-dungeon-58924/play

It's always a challenge to create levels, think of a logic, think about how the user behaves during the game, try not to create something impossible to play and that the person can have fun during the game, I tested it over and over again, I made some modifications during the process of implementing the game until I got this result, but it was extremely satisfying, Even though I created the game, every time I tested and played it, it was a totally different game.

I hope you enjoyed this project, I know it was a lot of fun to create it and incorporate some ideas that I had stored in my head, I love this idea of dungeons, exploration and challenges. Maybe at some point in my career as a game designer I'll still make some metroidvania-style games, I even have some floating ideas floating around in my head, I hope to soon put some of them into practice :D
