PITVYPR

This pit is a dumping ground. Miles and miles in each direction of never-ending darkness, on a flattened floor of pitch black lay mountains of metal waste, scrap, and trash. Here in the pit, there is no day or night… most of us haven't even heard those two words before. Our streets are lit by periodic, incandescent bulbs, and our rooms are brought from total darkness by the dim, green glow of LEDs in busted clocks, old terminals, and flickering, dying machines.

Until one day, you came. A shooting star, falling down the side of our walls, and brightening the metal that rests beneath you.

PITVYPR is a Traditional Roguelike in the style of games like Brogue, Cogmind, Nethack, etc. It has a focus on item usage and synergy, taking inspiration from more modern roguelites such as Balatro and Risk of Rain (2).

Explore a trash-filled void of darkness. Find, create, and repair different kinds of weaponry, armour, and utility. Fight in the gladiatorial combat of The Pit, to become the PITVYPR - the champion of The Pit!

This game is in Alpha, with development of features continuously. The Alpha Demo is set in a simple 3-level structure. I hope to make a vaster, more interconnected series of Levels in the future, along with a central hub and a shop. This Alpha is focused on getting combat feedback and seeing initial impressions of the concept, environments, etc!

A small feature list:

1. Graphical User Interfact built from ASCII graphics and art.
2. Basic Mouse Control Support, with Customizable Keyboard Controls.
3. ~50 items with unique movesets, skills, and stats. To be expanded to at least 100, eventually!
4. A variety of enemies with different behaviour and movesets. The demo will have ~15 enemies to get a feel for some traditional combat encounter archetypes, with a final boss at the end of Level 3.
5. 3 semi-unique Procedurally Generated Levels: "The Pit", "The Copper Chambers", and "The Underblood", each split into 3 sub-floors, with a final boss in Level 3-3.

A note:
This game is so far from finished! But, it is a project I have been really enjoying working on over the past year off-and-on. I hope to make it into something that I and everyone else will enjoy playing. I will only be able to do that with feedback from people.

Thank you so much for taking the time to read this!
