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 currently in it's pre-alpha stage - and I am working towards putting out a playable demo for people to try and give feedback on. More details on this are to come, and I wouldn't want to give an estimated release date for such a small demo. But, "It'll be out when it's out."

A small feature list:

1. Graphical User Interfact built from ASCII graphics and art.
2. Mouse Control support for all elements of player control.
3. Several dozen 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 aim for 4-5 enemies to get a feel for some traditional combat encounter archetypes.

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. When the demo is released, I will also provide channels to give feedback and suggestions to help improve the experience.

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