Dragon Seeker

Huge fan of this.  Not only is it a great technical achievement, but the game is balanced in a way that gives you different tools to work with on each run.  The characters work well together, and there are multiple ways to solve every problem or use your resources, which is important to make the multiple playthrough aspect work.

Now I'm curious how a community race of this game would go (using a premade save file as a "seed").  Though it would need to be prescreened somehow to make sure that it isn't one of the broken seeds (I got one of those too, unfortunately).

Thanks for letting me seek the dragon! :P

really love the hard-earned progression from having to completely drain my mp if i want to not deal peanuts for damage, to multiple party members cranking out the deeps. karin carried my team for most of the game because i got queensblade early, but uuva with her full-party speed and def debuffs was my real mvp

One of the most technically impressive things in the jam...love that you can have a run where the dragon could be right there in the town (my first run, before I realized what was going on, where I walked immediately back out lol). Good meaty dungeon crawl that I've made some progress in but not completed, but definitely looking forward to coming back to.

Randomization was perfect for this sort of game given that many of us playing are already familiar with the default maps. I like how it recontextualized the town and shops - they felt like pockets of safety in the context of a massive dungeon. Learning the characters' movesets and becoming stronger felt good, and every piece of loot, every newly discovered NPC felt meaningful and earned. I think this scratches the sort of itch that I wish roguelikes actually scratched

Loved the way the randomization and progression works. Great way to force me to memorize where exactly each entrance/exit lead to.

I thought this was really fun! As others have mentioned, the progression and exploration works really well, and there's a number of surprises to give some interesting encounters, like the random boss and kappas, very good stuff ^^

I went through all the exits I knew of but didn't find the dragon yet. I beat the reaper boss though, which was pretty tough? Pretty impressive how well this works, I'm sure the randomization was very difficult to implement :O

Monster goo is a good universal healing item name, everyone knows of healing goo XD

the map generation is very funny and gives the game an interesting loop as you figure out how everything works and how to approach battles. great idea and it's fun to play!

This was so goddam cool... I think I had access to almost all the maps in my seed, had a blast slowly exploring and finding all the little shops and ways to replenish my resources. Extremely satisfying number balancing/progression arc, I felt so cool and strong at the end. Thanks so much for joining the jam!!

When I first tried it, I waited 5 minutes or whatever for the loading to finish, and it said something like "Error in map generation" and told me to close the game, so I thought it was a prank until I read the comments.

This was a really meaty crunchy experience. I like the wealth of options you have to experiment with. I think some of the areas were inaccessible in my generated world (forest, parts of the tower) but I still managed to win.

the way the maps are stitched together. 

my brain hurts.

good job.

Fun little game. Also very funny that it takes so long for the engine to load this ahahahaha.

Wow, super cool! :DDD Struggled a little early on, but once I got the hang of it, I really enjoyed collecting items and cool stuff for the party and all the characters have very neat skillsets that work well together :DDDDD

As for the gimmick, I had no idea you could even do that in 2k3! Amazing! Made for some fun surprises as well!

Thumbs up!
