Crypt Wizard

A game in development by Max Breedon

Crypt Wizard is a dungeon manager game which probably takes the most influence from Dungeon Keeper.

It is written in Java, so will work on pc, mac, linux. Android port is more than feasible. I'd like to sell it for about $7-10. As this is a commercial venture (even though I'm having a great time making it) I expect to pay anyone who works on my game.

As far as animations go I'm tempted to not have any, so as to make the game more easily expanded.

Games & art styles that I like

NO I AM NOT STEALING THIS WORK! This is just what I like!

Spacefox's dwarf fortress:

I very much like these characters, and I have contacted Spacefox but as yet have no reply.

"Dungeon level chip set" by bitgem on deviant art (contacted):

Delvers drop has a great tileset http://delversdrop.com/ - though maybe too hi-res.

I don't love 8x8 sprites but Hell Dungeon looks good:

achievment screen is good

Dungelot has nice terrain http://dungelot.com/ :

What I need

Terrain

• dirt
• rough hewn wall
• brick wall
• claimed dungeon
• rooms - note that I'm open to the idea that rooms could be a larger tile that is an entire structure, rather than just made up of a pattern of tiles

Chararcters

The main character is the Wizard, which is the only character the player controls.

Other characters include

• zombie dwarf - your peons
• skeleton army
• other army units: vampire, ghost, lich etc
• enemies: starting with rats, etc but could go anywhere from paladins to dragons

Items

• gems, pillar, pylon, stone block, rock
• weapons
• barracks improvements

Title screens

This is placeholder title screen ...

I quite like this image by Ryan DeGange http://www.empireeden.com/art.html

This sort of artwork could come in very handy!

I have contacted Ryan but as yet have no reply.

Concept art

I don't have any! Concept art is good for things like:

• documentation
• websites
• ideas

I did make a pinterest though!
