First game finished!


You might have a few questions about why I made this game, and I am here to answer them and tell you why I chose what I chose

Why a spider? Initially, this game was going to be completely different. When I was creating the spider, he was going to be an enemy, but when I was controlling it, I saw how fun it was to move him around the cave and see his legs stepping and grabbing the surfaces.

Why this game? As soon as quarantine started, I decided that I wanted to have a fun project to work on as to not get bored. Initially, I was inspired by games such as Terarria, Noita, and others to make a roguelike cave crawler. I wasn't 100% certain about it, but began prototyping, and see what was most fun for the game, and came to the conclusion of being a spider and traversing a cave

How did you make it? I wanted to use what I knew about coding and learn more. I used Eclipse IDE and Java for all of the coding, and pixilart.com for all the art. I had already known how to use Box2D, and decided to implement it into this project. It took me about 7 1/2 months to complete the project, with lots of breaks in between.

Who was involved? just me :)

Are there any future plans? If people like it and want more content, I will plan on releasing 4 more levels and a whole story from start to finish. I am also planning on updating all the art.
