Congratulations! Very good! Mainly because of this -> All assets, images, 3d models, 3d engine created by me! There is no Unity or Unreal - it's a custom OpenGL engine.  :)

Keep improving this project and in the future put some audio in the game. 

success for you!

Thanks for the supporting words :)

I'm currently working on a custom sound system which will eventually be folded into BloodCrypt. Hopefully it will make it something a bit more special...

Hello Adam, I would love to say that I like your game but I cant. I cant because whenever I load in I get a straight blue screen! This game looks amazing but I cant see whats happening. Any help would be appreciated.

could you give me some more information on what OS you are using :)

Hi Adam, I came across your game and love it! Would you be interested in publishing BloodCrypt in China? Since Chinese gaming market is the world biggest now. Thanks!

Great boardgame look and a home-made 3D engine? Nice.  I keep fingers crossed for the development of this game.

Development is continuing. next version (1.05) will include new monsters, lighter look so it's not quite as dark, new models, and smoother camera motion. Stay tuned, all comments being looked at and taken seriously :)

I love the boardgame feel of the game. It's just very dark, please can you add some gamma controls so I can see what's going on?

Are you going to add some camera controls so I can pivot around the player?

(1 edit)

Brilliant - I'm really happy you are enjoying it. I'll look into the gamma controls for you. Next ver 1.05 will have brighter overall look, so not so dark ;)

to rotate the camera use the arrow keys or click and drag with the mouse on screen :)

i hope you dont mind! i will be streaming your game on my youtube channel and my site will be writing an article about the game aswell. we have a developer spotlight so people can see new and upcoming games that are under the raider. so far im really digging this game. i want more people to know about it. ill include a link to this page so more people can grab the demo

No problem :). Let me know if there are any suggestions or help you might want. Be great to see it featured.

I'm liking the feel of this game quite a bit! I have a few recommendations for the current version:
- Lights flicker far too much
- tapping where to click is okay, would rather use keys on the computer though
- If I do click to move . . . I'd like to click more than just 1 block away . . . At least 5

No problem. I'll work on those suggestions.

New Ver1.03 tones down the flickering for you :)
