Hello, I would like to introduce you to my first project – Dreadborne Dungeon

please check the steam page: https://store.steampowered.com/app/3134790/Dreadborne_Dungeon/

I’ve been working on the game in the Godot 4 for about 1.5 years. This is my first time making a game, so everything was new to me. At the beginning, I had no idea where to start, and as I progressed, I discovered just how challenging it is to create a 3D game. Every aspect, every element was a challenge – from coding, drawing sprites, modeling in 3D, to designing levels and mechanics. Although the project is a hobby, I’m pouring my heart and a lot of time into it.

What’s the game about?

Dreadborne Dungeon is a stylized pixel art shooter that transports you to a retro world inspired by classics like Doom and Heretic. I've always been a huge fan of these titles, so I wanted to create something that captures the spirit of those games while also introducing mechanics borrowed from Souls-like games, which I'm also a big fan of.

  • Key aspects of the game:

  • Stylized Graphics

  • Retro Shooter

  • Souls-like Elements

  • Dungeon Exploration

  • High Difficulty

Project Evolution:

At first, I planned for Dreadborne Dungeon to rely solely on classic Sprite2D, which would maintain the full retro vibe. However, as development progressed, I began experimenting and adding my own 3D models. I realized that this allowed me to bring more depth and dynamism to the game world while still maintaining a pixel art style. Now the game combines both elements, giving it a unique character.

If you’re a fan of retro games, dungeon crawlers, or just enjoy a good challenge, I invite you to follow my work on Dreadborne Dungeon. Your opinions, suggestions, and support are incredibly valuable to me, especially since I’m brand new to the world of gamedev. Every bit of feedback will help me make this game even better!

The demo will be available on Steam soon. I will let you know.

Hey this looks really cool 😄 have you made the dungeon with Trenchbroom? How long have you worked on this :)?

hello @hollow stump . thank you !
I dont use the Trenchbroom at all.
The dungeons have been created mostly with Crocotile3d (I recommend this tool a lot!) and godot itself.
I have been developing the project for 15 months so far.

Oh nice! I've bought Crocotile3D a while ago but never really worked with it. It looks really nice 🙂 and great progress!
