Lost Temple Treasure - Gameplay Trailer
I am releasing an old game of mine!
Do me a favour and give it a wishlist on Steam -- it is free and helps me out a ton!
Steam page: store.steampowered.com/app/3279740/Lost_Temple_Treasure/
Thanks so much!
======= About the game ======
Lost Temple Treasure is a third person action-adventure roguelike where you play as a robot archaeologist exploring a procedurally generated temple for rare artefacts.
The game features some of the procedural generation techniques I teach on this channel, also some unique AI design such as the ability for enemies to detect and use environmental traps and hazards to their advantage.
The game has 3 post game difficulty variations/modifiers for players looking for a challenge, as well as an "assist" mode if the game is too hard (it's pretty hard! XD)
I've put a lot of blood and sweat into this one! I actually started all the way back in 2019 and it has taken me until now to finish! I will probably come back in the future and add more too, but for now, it is time to release and get some feedback!
Please let me know if you play it and send me any videos or streams! Hearing feedback on my game truly makes my day!
Thanks!!
Jackson

Aiming for a playable pre-alpha demo in about 3 months! We are...

    In general, dear friend, third-person games require special staging, including advanced lighting, high-quality character settings with high detail, and most importantly, the creation of a very professional cinematic to initially attract the audience, and subsequently even a 1-hour game, relying on creating Sufficient excitement in half an hour of the game itself has many factors in the sale of the game. Also, most of the games that have been made for one player are mostly first-person shooters because they do not need a trailer or an initial movie. You yourself know many examples better than me, of course, if you want, I will give you them. good luck

    where you not going to destroy the gaming company 's in your Last video. Because what im seeing and hearing is the same as this corrupted corporation. im sorry if this kick you in the balls but only telling the truth now to beat this corruption destroying your game is to think out side the box but surpass that and what behid the box it the sphere now i can going but t this point you will be try to wrip your head round what is side about the box and sphere just focus on the box thing as that's the oldest thing that some people still remember. so once you look over old game's and then match them up to the remaster the ok most old player like the old game's but for example free games like fortnite is just no for me old halo yes new halo no why because even with the easter egg's that i love to do the new game has you buying more stuff when hackers or scammer cant cheat the game even online iv had to learn alot of things even how this hacker and scammer are getting away with it throwing the real world off balance dark time are upon us the corruption has do it job and it to late some of us. Example im from the UK and it gone made over here cant even step out side anymore.
