I used like 3 days to code a Dungeon Adventurer game. Basically has no story, but I tried to create a robust turn based combat system with a Passive skill tree and a Combat skill tree. The passive tree has 75 nodes and consists of Offensive boosts, Defensive, Resistances, Health, Health gain per turn. etc.. Combat skill has a skill tree in Diablo 4's manner, but it looks a lot uglier (More windows like). You can spec your character into melee, mage or ranged.

The combat is turn based like in pokemon. There are 12 monsters, but each individual monster can be different. Skeleton can be Skeleton Mage, ranged or melee. There are 2 bosses so fare, but they're pretty lackluster because of balancing issues.

The player can farm gear, I have a basic, magic, rare and unique system. Greater rarity gives armor more affixes per gear, but the Unique set of items have kinda lackluster "unique" bonuses like "For each % of health missing, you deal 0, 3% more dmg" kinda of thing.

What puts me off is I don't know how I should make the game loop more interesting. It's a Up, down, left, right system with random encounters at the moment.


And the balancing issues, the player becomes so strong after a while that the normal enemies don't matter. Fun concept, hard to make alone yet alone balance.

I got stuck on how to make the "carrot symbol" on my keyboard. I am from norway so couldn't find it. Had to copy it from some text

Your tutorial is a lifesaver.

Thank you!

How can I get the player back to first set of options after choosing a particular choice route?

[megazoned]

If you make an invalid choice, how to you make it prompt you to answer the last question again instead of having to re run the game from the start?

[elvisdavidfenny]

how to set the game asking like " Do you wanna play again ?"
yes or no, Y/N

[DarkLordRed]

I really like this one very informative

[freydislive]

How do you make the grafics look more retro like an old school choose your own adventure game (sorry im new to coding im taking a python class through my highschool and this is my first week so im very much a beginer)

[mqasim.chandio]
