Making the Dungeon Crawler Your Own

Tweaking games and making them your own is an important step for a game developer. You have the knowledge you need to add features to the game and make it your own. Try some of the following project ideas:

• Add different monsters and items, or change the existing ones.

• Change the theme to “re-skin” the game. You can radically alter the feel of the game with different tilesets.

• Add a score mechanism.

• Maybe you don’t like turn-based games. Most of the systems can work in a real-time game, with a bit of tweaking and some timing code similar to what you used in Flappy Dragon.

• Review the Flappy Dragon bonus content and see if you can add some animation to your game.

• Look into the Amethyst Engine^[68] and Bevy^{[69] ...}
