Dawngeon 1.5 Update and Future Roadmap

Dawngeon 1.4 introduced new systems, characters, and weapons but also unintentionally created major bugs with credit systems and story mode. In Dawngeon 1.5, the volume will be divided into five and will mainly focus on stability and finishing Dawngeon as a whole.

FAQ

longer story mode or chapter 2?

I would love to but I can not promise when.

Developing a story mode takes a very long time, and with limited time, creating more story with the quality I want is hard to achieve without a team. I also think the current story mode misses a lot of details in terms of level design and story telling and needs revisions. Dawngeon has more to tell and more to uncover. Dawngeon is a very special game for me. My future projects will integrate with the Dawngeon Universe, continuing the Dawn Legacy. 

Hunger System?

Current health system is very straight forward. I am afraid that implementing a hunger system will over complicate the game. 

Armor system?

Armor system might Overlap with the new passive items.

Clothing / Skin / Costume?

Clothing is currently hard to implement as I have to draw more sprites. Not ideal nor fun.

Multiplayer?

Dawngeon’s architecture is not designed for multiplayer. It will be easier If I just create another game.
