Entranced into a deep dreamscape by the hallucinogenic spores of a mind-devouring alien creature, a young explorer is unwittingly recast a challenger in a realm of unconscious fantasy, where empowered with super-human abilities of might and magic, he must crawl a punishing gauntlet of dark entities and monsters to defeat the labyrinth of his captor's mind game—proving himself a champion morsel worthy of digestion.

Development

The Warriorlock was created as a comically-inspired linear RPG, with a lighthearted picturebook-style presentation and original story.

I developed the game by heavily customizing a simple ruby script engine to create a one-of-a-kind homebrew grind crawler, with a 6-core character stat system akin to the original Dungeons & Dragons standard, a hybridized action/turn-based battle system, pre-rendered game paths, randomized treasure drops for nearly all items and spells, and a hand-tailored menu inventory system with detailed descriptions and bonus stat points for steady character progression.
