Art the Father and the 7 Deadly Sins

Created for the Level Up Circle: Beginner Jam #3. Art the Father and the 7 Deadly Sins is a top down RPG where you save humanity from itself. Build up your virtues to prepare to meet the final boss "The Seven." A quick dungeon crawl type play.

More than just a game

This was my first game jam and boy, did I learn a lot! Especially about WebGL optimization and the finicky nature of WebGL rendering. What works in the editor may not work in the build. Particularly the render sort order.

Surprisingly, I'm now interested in getting better with pixel art. My daughter did all the character design and art in this game but I did a few props and FX. So I guess I'm not as afraid of it anymore. The background art is a free Unity Asset called Rogue Fantasy Castle. I just didn't have the time to make all the background art.

Programming is my wheel house and I still learned a few tricks there too. I also learned I get stuck in the weeds easily. Tweaking on some mechanic for way to long.

All the audio is from freesound.org. Note worthy is the background ambiance music called Monk-04 by  cormi. I did do all the editing and mixing of the FX. I urge everyone who uses freesound.org to donate a little. It is a wonderful resource.

Anyways, I hope you enjoy this quick little game.

Things that where cut due to time:

  • Overheat mechanic for the BFG-R with upgrades to lengthen the time.
  • Each virtue was to be gained in separate levels. 7 total.
  • Player armor.
  • NPC Pope to follow you as healer.
