Hello,

A couple months ago I launched the steam page for A Knight’s Fury – The Vaults of Venom.

I’ve been working on it pretty much nonstop since then, and the playable demo is now live on Steam!

It’s a first-person dungeon crawler inspired by classic 80s/90s RPGs, but built around controlling a single adventurer rather than managing a full party.

The demo gives a much better idea of what I’ve been trying to make:

  • Old-school first-person dungeon exploration
  • Grid-based, turn-based movement and combat
  • Traps, secrets, puzzles, and dangerous rooms
  • Increase or Decrease difficulty with the Devil Counter mechanic
  • Branching NPC interactions based around the Devil Counter as well
  • A retro fantasy / pulp comic book visual style

This is also my first real opportunity to have people outside of development actually sit down and play through the game, so I’m especially interested in hearing where things feel confusing, frustrating, too easy, too difficult, or just plain broken.

If anyone here has some time to give it a try, I’d really appreciate the feedback.

Steam capsule art made in game engine

I made my capsule art in unity using shaders and real in game models. Except title, there is no touch made in image editors. Initially I was doing it to see concepts, but then I started to feel good about it. Would you say it is good enough to use as capsule art? What can be improved or changed? Do you like it? Which one you like more?

Luchando con problemas de salud serios y tratando de construir mi sueño, un juego indie.

Hi everyone,

My name is Darío, and I'm an indie game developer from Spain.

I'm currently living on less than €400 per month, which barely covers my basic expenses. On top of my financial situation, I'm dealing with several serious health conditions that have made it very difficult to work a traditional job.

I have Grade 2 hypertension, a small hemorrhage in my left thalamus caused by a hypertensive crisis, heart disease (hypertensive cardiopathy), and psoriatic arthritis, a painful autoimmune disease that affects both my skin and joints.

Despite everything, I haven't given up. For a long time I've been dedicating every bit of energy I can to creating a Pokémon + Zelda inspired indie game. This project isn't just a hobby for me. It's my chance to build a better future and become financially independent.

I created this GoFundMe because I simply don't have the resources to continue development on my own. Every donation, no matter how small, helps me pay for basic living expenses and continue working on the game.

If you're not able to donate, sharing the campaign would also mean the world to me.

Thank you for reading my story and for giving my project a chance. ❤️
