Dungeon Lords: A competitive ecosystem game
« on: May 30, 2019, 10:57:21 pm »


Lords of the Dungeon, I gather you here today, for your promotion to Lord, because all the other lords have perished horrifically and you're all that remains. Congratulations. After the fall of the last dungeon, we lost all our magical artifacts, powerful soldiers, and flourishing ecosystem. And now this is what we're left with. An empty single area dungeon with a broken portal, which is both barren and lifeless. Welcome to your new home. Get to work.

Welcome to Dungeon Lords, a competitive ecosystem game about maintaining and defending an increasingly large dungeon from a host of invaders. As lords you will compete for favor with the Dungeon Master by holding various rooms, completing quests, and generally keeping the dungeon from being destroyed and or looted. Each turn you may add new life and objects to the dungeon, improving your chances of surviving the increasingly difficult waves of human adventurers.

Name: Slimey
Specialty: Oozes
Power: 10
Souls: 0

Name: Gelatinous cubes
Type of Creation: Combat+Trap
Traits:
- Transparent: Gelatinous cubes are hard to spot in the poor light conditions of the dungeon.
- Acidic: Creatures engulfed by Gelatinous cubes will quickly dissolve and digest
- Paralysis: In addition to being acidic, the Cube's slime causes paralysis
- Squishing: Gelatinous cubes can squeeze or shift to perfectly take up the space of most roughly rectangular corridors and staircases, serving as the perfect obstacles/monstertraps.
Description: Giant transparent cube shaped oozes that wander the corridors of the dungeon. Often careless adventurers will walk straight into them, quickly being sucked into acidic goop and dissolved, other times the Gelatinous cubes simple move forward, engulfing the enemy, or extrude out tendrils to paralyze them and pull them into its mass.
Orders:
- Wander corridors and staircases of the dungeon devouring adventurers.
- Keep the dungeon clean by devouring junk, dirt and filth and depositing non-digestible junk in the lowest portal room.

Public Service Poll

After I received several questions concerning designing the dungeon, it occurred to me that it may be more enjoyable for players to design the dungeon themselves.

Poll: Would you want to design the dungeon yourselves or do you prefer having me do so?

I remember seeing a game called Mad Castle, where players designed rooms, maybe it can be similar to that?
