This Is My Temple

A look at my game This Is My Temple. A number crunching dungeon crawler inspired by dark fantasy classics.

This Is My Temple is inspired by dark fantasy and dungeon crawler classics as well as traditional roguelikes.

TIMP follows the classic dungeon crawling setup, but with a real time twist. Time only moves when you do. Grow in power as you explore and gain levels and collect loot.

I am not an artist by any means, but I have been working on carving out my own non-artist programmer style. My main inspirations for the living creatures in this game are Pizza Tower, Ren & Stimpy, and Ed, Edd, and Eddy.

Here is slimey.

Slimey is the 3rd creature that I have added to TIMP.

I have experimented with rendering 3D models to ultra downscaled sprites, with some success. I like the way these look on animated creatures, but I’m afraid if I had any creatures who were made in 3D, then the rest of the games sprites should probably follow. The two styles don’t match up well.
But I might put this style in my pocket for a future project. It’s super fun. At least in the meantime I can use this style for static objects, I think thats a fair trade-off.

Anyways, heres some peaks at This Is My Temple.

A castle I created today in blender.

And here is that same castle downscaled with some color filters

Heres what it looks like in game, and also the first picture of TIMP i’ve shown outside discord
