Dungeon Master

Take on the role of an up-and-coming fantasy finance accountant who forgot to study and failed all your classes… Now with rent due, you have no choice but to fall back into the family business of dungeon building. If only your dungeon could attract the strongest warriors in all the lands- Grungkor the Great! Surely then you could make the rent money, but it turns out dungeon building is not as easy as it seems… Is it too late to go back into accounting?

Our second project with a small team, done in 48 hours for the GMTK 2023 Game Jam!

Looks like I failed my accounting course…again.

My rent is due in a week, so I have to fall back on the ol’ family business:

Dungeon making.

My father, his father, his father’s father, and so on have all been known for crafting the best dungeons in the lands. Heroes all over the kingdom have praised the dungeons whether they bested them or they themselves were bested.

I never saw myself following in their footsteps, but here we are.

So now I have to get some traps, puzzles, and monsters to fill my dungeon. Of course I can’t forget to put some shiny loot to entice the heroes.

The goal may be to make a dungeon great enough to pay the rent, but my real dream is to meet Grungkor the Great.

He’s defeated the more dangerous and fearsome dungeons in the land! It would be a dream come true to have him visit my dungeon.

Well enough about that, let’s be a dungeon master!

HOW TO PLAY

The goal of the game is to get your dungeon popular enough to have the famous Grungkor the Great conquer it!

Right click the menus and choose which item you want to buy for your dungeon. Place them down with Right click. Each item costs LOOT so be wise when spending!

Various adventurers will traverse the dungeon in search of treasures. Warriors take no damage from monsters, mages can crack puzzles easily, and rogues can easily sneak past traps.

Once an adventure has had their fill, they will make their way out and leave you a LOOT tip which allows you to upgrade your dungeon further.

Be careful though! Put too many traps and you will overwhelm your travelers, but put too little and they’ll get bored and leave. And a room full of treasures will leave you too broke to pay your rent.

If you manage to accumulate 1000 gold, your hero Grungkor the Great will visit your dungeon, so make sure it’s up to the highest standard!
