I am a 16 year old Indie game Developer from Germany and i want to introduce my new game called Pixel loot Raiders. It is currently in pre alpha State.
pixel loot raiders
Features currently implemented:
-Endless Random generated World [Currently limited to 10000WorldParts]
-Very Quick Loading because world is fully generated using seeds
Random generated Potions and Weapons (now also with random colors / names)
Random Generated Dungeon Entrances in the world and Random Dungeons
Random Generated Treasures
Random Generated Biomes
Random Dungeon Names and Textures
Climbable objects like ladders and vines
Random Item Spawns and Random Item Chests
Procedurally generated overworld terrain
Secret Treasure Rooms in dungeons and secret Mechanisms like Pressure Plates, Pushable Boxes and Movable Walls
The swords that can be seen on the screenshots also got random textures,random colors , random names and soon as i implement enemys and a leveling system random behaviours
And the game runs smooth at 60FPS
The Current Pre Alpha Version can be played here (for free until it gets into alpha stage) : Unity Web Player | pixelart
I haven’t played much yet, but I like it. You did a good job.
Few suggestions so far…
1. Add a description for the controls.
I figured most out but I think some people here aren’t patient and will get frustrated.
Edit: Found controls posted on IndieDB
2. Add mouse support.
It would make movement a lot easier.
3. Add crosshair or increase are where you can use.
Currently it’s very difficult to pick up, or enter dungeon, etc. I have to keep pressing Ctrl and run around until I can go in
I’ve been working on procedurally generated terrains for a while and have hit a hard bump on guaranteeing connectivity between play areas without compromising the look and feel of the terrain. Good luck with tackling that and if you hit anything promising or want to swap ideas let me know. My best approach currently involves voronoi diagrams and fbm, using the voronoi diagrams to blend paths of connectivity into the map. I’ll check your game out this evening.
Quick reaction - the interface is unintuitive. I’d strongly suggest implementing mouse look and uploading the new build, or else you’ll get a bunch of feedback on something you already know you need to tackle. Along the same lines consider having anything new you pick up display on the screen somewhere and then flash a few times and fade out.
Basically the way the game communicates the status of whats going on is still missing. May be stuff you already know but thats the nature of alpha feedback.
Flame effect needs improvement, maybe use a sprite? (Quick example)
It’s getting late so I don’t have more time to play, but I recommend to add mouse support as soon as possible. It’s easy to do and it will help you a lot to get more people to test it.

It is still in pre alpha state so the user interface will get better. I have allready planned something like you mentioned. When a player picks up an item the item will be displayed at the right side of the screen, with a little text that tells the player the name of the item and what the item does
I also released a new build which includes Mouse Support(currently set to default until I add a settings Menu)
Thanks again for your feedback
If you want to change the Dungeon style just search for another entrance wich are randomly generated in the overworld (would really take some time to swim arround and search for one) or just press P and then click on Reset game(which will delete your save game and inventory contents but you will also get a new Random seed)
I am not sure if i will implement multiplayer support because i have to implement many other things first like npc villages, enemys, more items and the rune system. But maybe i will add it
Yes the hand is a flat 3D box
I will release a new update soon
This Update will add following things to the game:
Pixel loot raiders aye? Hopefully you didn’t try ripping of my game “Pixel Raiders”. But now a days that’s how the industry works I guess. Still looks nice either way.
