Hello! 😃

Have you ever heard of this name? _ **infinite maze of doom and despair** _ (the answer is no). Well, since you haven’t ever played that game before, I’m making a sequel!

> **[INFINITE LAND OF DOOM AND DESPAIR 🔥 🔥 🔥 🔥 🔥 🔥 - Version unsueable](https://arcade.makecode.com/S97117-91017-16713-28353)**
>
> Made with ❤️ in Microsoft MakeCode Arcade.

I started this game like 5 hours ago and I’m pretty proud of what I got so far!

What I want in the first real release:

- A procedurally generated world with dungeons spread across it (that you can go inside, fight monsters and grab some loot!)
- A menu with working options
- Saving for a minor inventory
- Common controls, directional moving, interacting, etc.

What you can (hopefully) expect:

- The world with workable dungeons
- The menu
- Loot (collectable or uncollectable)
- And PVE!

(This game was originally intended to be a 3d hill wandering game but since I actually suck so badly at makecode arcade more than `@woofwoof` is smart, I couldn’t even manage to make a rhombus as a map)

Tip:  
If you walk a bit to the right when you spawn in, then keep going up, you’ll find something cool!

There isn’t much to do in the world yet except finding that “cool thing”

The screen is small because I made it like that, the entire world is a sprite and everything else is a sprite. It was originally supposed to be 3d (without raycasting), so I used sprites but I didn’t know how to actually make a 3d engine. Also the game isn’t supposed to be your average full screen tilemap green grass rpg.

It’s called being nice 🙃

Also this game is in VERY VERY VERY early development, which should be kinda obvious from the name.

Help:  
Uhh, yeah I need help on an update. There’s a weird thing where when a monster dies, it’s animation doesn’t play. Instead it just does the destroy thing and completely skips the animation.  
How to find the monsters:  
Step 1: Hold W

After a while you’ll find a structure like this:

 ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex020/uploads/makecode/original/3X/b/3/b397e248b27cc63641e1b2d122bdd41a28f8d124.png)

Step 2. Go inside (press b) and move up, then left to find a spawning rune:

 ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex020/uploads/makecode/original/3X/7/2/724788498549cfc0f76a82486c0e7e00dad51e46.png)

(don’t mind my friends)

After you kill a monster, you’ll see that it just dies, instead of having an animation first.

Okay so I just accidentally signed out of my account on makecode arcade, so I can’t really work on anything for now…

I can’t use google since it’s banned here in china (I NEED TO STOP MENTIONING THAT) and EVERYTHING is on my google account so…

Yeah I’ma go back to making games on geometry dash 😃
