Game News Dungeon Rats, Iron Tower Studio's Age of Decadence dungeon crawler, officially announced

[Excidium II]

Is Dungeon Rats going to be set in the same shitty setting as AoD?

They could at least try not to make it look so awful though.

Do you deny, all other aspects aside, that the game looks visually weak? There's no harm in working on the models and the lighting (everything is a bit too dark) to make the player able to at least see what he is doing.

You want brightly lit dungeons or what? I find the enviroment to be better looking in this than in most AoD shots.

What does this mean for challenges outside of combat? Will there be less of em?

We check stats is several interactions with the environment, and charisma plays a role on gathering party members, removing some enemies from fights and one of the endings.

 

[Rivmusique]

Is the same guy doing the soundtrack? Are there new tracks? Post some samples.

 

[polo]

Its a typo, its actually
Dungeon?, Rats!

[IHaveHugeNick]

Decadence of Aging.

 

[mondblut]

Also, "Dungeons of Decadence" would be the most obvious spinoff name choice.

Age of Decadence Gaiden

The name sounds like a cross of Dungeon Lords and Bad Rats. If that isn't a recommendation .

But congrats on the game! It definitely sounds interesting.

This makes me excited for their next game, Bad Lords.

Here's a preliminary screenshot I found of the intro.

Just put something like this on the banner and the title won't matter.

Really This

Vault Dweller When you release this, you should put it in a Steam pack/bundle together with Age of Decadence, with the option to buy both together at a discount. That way people looking at AoD's store page will also see it.

Yes, of course.

 

[Feyd Rautha]

Not sure I want to play this, and I suppose VD could have used the ressources into the colony ship game instead of making this. Not sure we needed a AoD dungeon crawler, but alas, I will of course try it

This game will bring in the resources necessary to create the Colony Ship RPG. That's why you have to buy Dungeon Rats.

 

[dunno lah]

"Decadence: Dungeoneer". Or just "Dungeoneer"

 

[MuscleSpark]

Drats.

 

[Hyperion]

Leave the title as is, but make sure nothing too difficult occurs until at least 2 hours in so the casuals can't cry for a refund.

Gotta jack up those sales numbers somehow.

 

[Elwro]

D0P for me. Fingers crossed!

 

[Vault Dweller]

Glad to see you're still around, Elwro.

 

[CptMace]

The gift that keeps on giving.
Best luck for this new project future success, let's hope the combat oriented aspect makes more ppl pay attention and give a try to AoD.

 

[PlanHex]

I don't really see anything wrong with the name, so long as it's a subtitle. Like, Age Of Decadence: Dungeon Rats. Makes it more clear that it's a spin-off thing? Maybe more people going "oh i've heard that name" rather than blending in with the 8000 other "dungeon" games.

 

[HoboForEternity]

people might have gotten the game confused with bad rats

anyway that screenshot in a clean ruin, construct companion confirmed?

 

[Vault Dweller]

You can get both the 'demon' and the construct.

I only will care about this game if it will have this trustworthy man in it:

Now please follow me, I saw a chest full of gold right back this alleyway.

He probably runs the prison by now.

Hi, I fixed your post.
