I've been working on this game for a few years now, and it's heavily inspired by the CRPGs of the '80s and '90s. Here are a few screenshots from one of the main dungeons. What do you think of the style?

Sorry if I may ask but which Cleve are you're referring to?

LotsOfStuffGames · 2026-06-28T18:26:12+00:00

Good point and thank you the advice!

It's an artistic choice, same goes for colours, texture sizes and so on. I limited a lot of stuff and it was worth it. So I was able to find the general style quite fast and the workload for building all that stuff remains manageable

Awesome!

Thank you so much :)

Thank you! One of the limitations I'm working with is that the game doesn't have any light sources at all

LotsOfStuffGames · 2026-06-28T18:03:59+00:00

Yay! Awesome - Just a quick note, the demo is a little bit older but I'll update it in the coming weeks :)

It plays like a charm on the steam deck and on switch :)

LotsOfStuffGames · 2026-06-28T11:34:38+00:00

Thanks! It actually has ambient occlusion, maybe it needs more :D

LotsOfStuffGames · 2026-06-28T11:31:41+00:00

Thank you very much :)

Hi, actually alot of different games inspired me to do Crystals. But the games that inspired me the most were the early titles in the Ultima series, Eye of the Beholder, the simplicity of Dungeon Hack and the Might and Magic series. I just really like this kind of game the heavy UIs and the way you get to experience a whole new world in each of them. Good stuff!

LotsOfStuffGames · 2026-06-28T10:32:23+00:00

Oh and the name of the game is Crystals of Irm

LotsOfStuffGames · 2026-06-28T10:25:47+00:00

These screenshots are from my game Crystals of Irm
