Hello World!

 We're a small Irish Game Dev Team planning on working on and releasing our first major game as part of our University course at TU Dublin. Our team consists of five avid game lovers who want to bring our passion for games into the world for others to enjoy. This year, we want to make something we can look back and be proud of, while also giving those who play our game an enjoyable and exciting experience that will leave them wanting more.  Our focus will be on fast-paced, action orientated gameplay while also delivering a satisfying narrative with pleasing visuals.

 First up in our team, awakening from his great slumber is Seán O'Dálaigh-Pulford, our lead Programmer. He's a lover of Survival and Civ builder games and has done some work with Spooky Doorway in the past on their game; Darkside Detective: A Fumble in the Dark.

 Next, exploding onto the scene, is our lead Designer, Emma Neeson. Shes a huge fan of puzzle games and RPG's and the optimistic centre of our team. 

 Slipping in from the darkness, our Art lead, Conall Knight, is a proud fan of stealth games and has put out a few games from Game Jams like Tiny Homes and Pendlum & Sons here on itch under GraKnight Games.

 Keeping an ear out, Shane Moloney is our Audio Lead. He's a lover of stealth, strategy and multiplayer games, all about the big plays and well-made plans.

 Lastly,  we have Michael Dunne acting as our Production lead. Never sleeping yet never truly awake, he's is a big fan of Strategy games and RPG's. Having dabbled in a few small projects on Itch such as Bump that he published under his own name.

 For our first game, we plan on making a 2D Dungeon Crawler based around the idea of creating ones own villains. In it you play a powerful and mysterious shapeshifting beast fighting your way to freedom. We plan on having a mix of turn based and real time combat where the player will struggle against swaths of enemies trying to slow you down.

We're taking another of inspirations from 2D Roguelikes for this game like Slay the Spire, Hades and Binding of Isaac while also looking to classics like the Final Fantasy series. We're looking to capture the feeling of progression and power as you navigate your specially constructed prison on the path to the outside world.
