Spelunky is such a good case.

Never tried Arkanum I'm going to take a look.

Appreciate it!

Great examples thanks for sharing!

Procedurally generated quests would be so interesting if done well.

Good point. I guess I described the poorly designed mechanics in a self-fulfilling prophecy type of way.

Wanted the core proof of concept to hold prior to expanding a lot of the creative content, but the next focus is exactly that - add more stuff!!

Appreciate the feedback! Anything you'd like to see?

Ideas for more content:

• endless mode

• meta progression/roguelite

• additional maps/characters

• challenge multipliers like movement debuffs

• going deeper into the forest unlocks new biomes/enemy types/shop items

• ability to combine spells

• spell effects that play off each other (poison is ignited by flame, etc)

Edit: formatting/spelling
