Happy Dungeon Friends

This is an open source 2D top down game of a young girl happily explores a whimsical dungeon filled with rainbow, flowers, and unicorn. But do be cautious, it may contain contents that should not be shown to kids.

Written in C# XNA, sprites designed and drawn by me, musics from online resouces(mostly bought on ZapSplat), by the end it should have all codes, images (include PSDs), and musics/SFX files available.

Currently still work in progress.

Latest Update

Please note that the update in this section may not be reflected in the release

Update 1th Jan 2023:

Added a proper gold and item drop function after killing an enemy
Added item description for gold when mouse if hovering on top
Added suicidal enemies who will try to seek and suicide kill the player. Suicide kill delivers more damage than normal collision damage.
Fixed the issue where some enemy run away from the player even without the light on.

How to control:

There is no key-binding that the player can change in-game, but by toggling certain variables, the game can have different controls. By default the control is Keyboard (RPG) with Mouse.

Keyboard (RPG)

An approach that resembles common RPG games, most operational keys are gathered in left side of the keyboard.

Q W E R to move
1 2 3 4 to use items/skills
Enter to confirm
Alt to display hotkeys
Space to attack
B to open bag, you can also click on the bag icon
Tab to display minimap, use LMB to pan it around
Esc to pause/quit

Keyboard (Traditional)

Traditional approach combines the arrow key operation with MOBA skill keys, when used with mouse, it produces an experience somewhat similar to Dota or Starcraft.

Arrow keys for movement and option selection
Q W E R to use items/skills
Enter to confirm
Alt to display hotkeys
A to attack
B to open bag, you can also click on the bag icon
Tab to display minimap, use LMB to pan it around
Esc to pause/quit

Mouse

RMB key to move
LMB to attack or select/open

Dev logs

Ver.0.92

Released 19th May 2022

The game can now save and load from saved. Note this is a naive save mechanism, it saves most of the progression, but enemies are not fully recorded, that is, if an enemy is injured but not killed, then after load from saved, this enemy will spawn at its last position with full health and other stats as originally spawned.
Bag icon in HUD now come with on hover sound.
Updated the bag graphics and character art.
As suggested in issue, distance to pass through a door is widened.

Ver.0.91

19 March 2022

Finally back to work after almost a year's hiatus!

Fixed the bug (or feature?) that the items cooldown contines to count even when the player has the game paused or in bag view. Achieved by partially substituted the stopwatch class. there are now 2 types of stopwatches:
- Stopwatch, defined in this project under Misc folder. This stopwatch can be set to halt when the player opens the bag or pause the game. Most enemy and item use this stopwatch since they are not supposed to update while player opens bag or paused the game (the catch being that by toggling the REAL_TIME_ACTION in Globals, they still can).
- System.Diagnostics.Stopwatch, i.e. the C# stopwatch, which continues to count regardless of circumstances.
Added dual index support to allow a position to have both unique block(the underlaying terrian sprite) and an item/enemy spawn on top. Implementation detail at General/IndexCoder

Ver.0.9

25 June 2021

Basic framework, the character can move, attack, pickup and use item, kill and be killed. Plus the user interface and game control.

Known issues

Item descriptions may differ or duplicate, due to them all invoking from TextBridge instance. For example, if Note items are dropped from enemies, they may have the same text description despite the alogrithm was designed to make them different.
