Hi everyone,  

I just released the first native Windows and Linux beta builds of **Tower of Scherbenmark**, a turn-based ASCII roguelike RPG set in the fractured dark-fantasy world of Mornhollow.  

YOu can find the game here:

https://bernhardp.itch.io/tower-of-scherbenmark

Scherbenmark is a broken domain of floating islands, ruined cities, mana rifts, and time-scarred places. You descend into an old research spire after your sister Mara disappears inside with a group of rift scholars and sellswords. Only her satchel returns, along with one warning:

  **Do not trust the echo of a spell.**

The current early access build includes:

  - Turn-based dungeon exploration

  - ASCII presentation with optional glyph sprites

  - Melee combat and ranged enemy magic

  - Loot, weapons, armor, potions, and equipment bonuses

  - Chests, mimic chests, furniture, riddles, traps, and secrets

  - Journal entries and lore fragments

  - Autosaves, save/load support, and persistent settings

  - Keyboard, mouse, and controller support

  - Native Windows and Linux beta builds

The game is still in active development, so I’m looking for feedback on difficulty, readability, controls, dungeon pacing, bugs, and ideas for enemies, items, riddles, traps, or lore.

If you try it, feel free to post feedback or bug reports on the game page. I’m especially interested in whether the native builds work well on different systems.  

Thanks for taking a look.

This plugin saved me so much time. Thank you very much for this! Keep up the great work :D

Ok, thank you very much! :)

Hello everyone!

Since I only read that teams are allowed I wanted to ask if it is also okay to participate alone in the jam?

Best wishes!

Hello everyone!

Since I uplaoded a prototype of the first section of my little game, I wanted to share some thought:

1. I very like the style of the game as it is now, but I am considering to change the player character to have more personality. Also I am not sure if I should keep the pxiel filter or if I just should (finally) draw some pixel art myself (8 or 16bit). Let me know hwat you think about it :)
2. I am planning to do 3 sections, 1 are the caves, the section you can play right now. 2 will be a mountains type section and 3 the laboratory where you will have a boss encounter. 
3. More things are spinning inside my head but these 2 are the biggest ones.

Let me know what you think :)

Best wishes,

Bernhard

Thank you so much for the opportunity :)
