Dungeon of the Year

Run a dungeon. When heroes reach the boss room, you fight them yourself as a flying demon sword 🗡️ Solo dev · Godot · pixel art · daily devlog

@MeloMisterio_en puzzle idea, and the neon grid looks gorgeous.

@eyoop02 colorful isometric arena is great

@DragnflyCovennt That deep red backdrop with the boss silhouette going down is such a striking defeat screen.

Statue Golem 🗿
Pillar shoulders, gorilla stance, and an arm that's basically a cannon. When the orange cone shows up, get out of the way.

Small design call: every expedition now sends a wanted poster a year early 🪧
Leader, members, bounty, and the relic you get if you wipe them. Weak spots are circled in chalk, so you can prep instead of guess.

Elderwood Knight 🌳🔥
Head sunk between its shoulders, roots that pin you in place, and it breathes fire. Adventurers did not enjoy this.

@kibo16b The new tiles and that packed shelf make the apartment feel so much more lived in. Big jump from the before shot.

@MadAxeGames Ha, that WIDE OPEN pop right as the boss goes flying is perfect. The arena looks great too.

@DungeonTrader Love the idea of the shop screen turning into a whole other dimension. Fun twist, and the pixel shop looks really cozy.

[Dungeon of the Year @DungeonOfYear]

@PirateTwistGame A boss whose prow is the weapon is such a cool idea. Makes every close pass feel tense.

Year 66: the heroes who beat the last Demon Lord come back for its sword.
"That's the sword from back then. This time we're here to sell it."
My test bot lasted 10 seconds 😅 (test values)

Horned Giant & Skull Shaman 🐂💀
Two of the 7 mid-bosses you can hire to guard your floors. When the red lane shows up, the giant is about to charge.

@sangjabam_x Those scattered red windows in the dark make the whole city feel eerie. Great mood in this one.

[Dungeon of the Year @DungeonOfYear]

@cvcreddy Big milestone with the full loop playable. That glowing red line makes the stakes obvious at a glance.

[Dungeon of the Year @DungeonOfYear]

@sllbailuo The windup on that big axe swing reads really clearly and still feels heavy. Nicely balanced.

[Dungeon of the Year @DungeonOfYear]

@Pilot_Wav That warm candle light against all the cold blue really sets the mood. Lovely atmosphere.

Every 11 years an expedition marches on the dungeon.
This one's led by the Tower Master, and her finale rains meteors ☄️ Every leader's big move gets a one-line warning first, so you can dodge it first try.

Dr. Wilbert 🧪 one of the 7 mid-bosses you can hire.
Drop him below 35% HP and he goes into Drug Frenzy: the tanks on his back glow toxic green, he hits harder, but his HP keeps draining (test values).

Small design call from today 🛠️
My boss room's carpet started at whatever wall the door was on, so it never lined up. Tried 3 layouts and went with B: a throne on the back wall, always facing you.

The first party to reach the boss room each year gets this welcome.
Lights out… and the Dungeon Master awakens 🗡️
