OVERVIEW


This Dungeon is Alive is a single player, first-person 3D game, developed for the 48-hour Ludum Dare #35 Game Jam, under the theme "Shapeshifting".

My approach to the theme was to create a shapeshifting dungeon that the player had to explore and then exit. I built a dungeon layout that switched rooms when the player stepped on invisible triggers scattered across the map.

There's a bit of a very basic storyline, that goes something like this: You are an occultist in a quest to get the coveted Necronomicon, which is in the heart of a labyrinthine shapeshifting dungeon... a dungeon that is alive. The corridors breathe, the rooms move... the dungeon shapeshifts while you explore its most deep secrets.
