Work for Just Dig It

One of the earlier things I worked on as a part of Banished Crown was a game called Just Dig It. 

Currently this game is restricted, as it really isn't in any sort of good state for showing.

Quick update as well, the expansion for Rogue's First Heist has been canceled. The majority of the reason coming down to difficulties with the navmesh for the game. This game however is still available in its post jam state.

Anyway, Just Dig it.

Me and Franz worked on this game as a sort of jumping off point to mainly mess around. It had a relatively long development time with honestly very little to show for it.

The game was designed as a Dig Dug knockoff with the idea of slightly changed up level ideas and such. We ran into tons of problems in getting the movement right and putting in any sort of actual fun gameplay.

Unity works well enough for most 2D game development, but it is certainly not its forte and it showed. We were also a bit inexperienced so that didn't help either.

The main enemies were essentially ferrets that we gave the name kobolds. Which you can see here.



Meant to harass the player and have two modes, neutral and angered. They were to try and collect ore much like the player to make things harder.

Now I could talk more about the other details of the game, but personally I want to show off the tutorial images I made for the game. Which does a good job explaining it tbh.















Anyway, thats about it. Hope you enjoy!
