Games Grimstone: an ARPG inspired by Diablo II!

Grimstone: Aeldun​

I always loved the Diablo franchise and 2 years ago I wanted to make my dreamgame in Unity3D. But I failed. And now I give it another try, now with more knowledge and patience!

I started this project as my thesis but then I paused it to release a small puzzle game. And now I'm back!

My main directions are:

• flexible playstyles, there are no classes,
• change playstyle dynamically as the environment changes,
• randomly generated maps,
• dark and gothic atmosphere,
• non-linear world and story,
• combining other elements of Diablo,
• also playable with friends.

And as usual, I'll make videos about my progress, so I can get some feedback, and make a friendly community ;D

If you are interested in this project, feel free to join our Discord community.

You can browse my playlist containing the 2-3 minutes long devlogs.

And here are the newest videos:

And just for fun, here's the one of the oldest video:

Thanks for the feedback in advance!

Looks great! Always have been a fan of the classic Diablo 1 & 2. I'm defiantly curious to see your flexible playstyles, or classes. The freedom from being unlocked in my opinion is good, especially if you have a hard time making a decision a specific class to play and then feel lock in.

 

Thanks, hopefully I will manage to design it well!

 

Hopefully you'll have your demo done in time for Indie Legion Feedback Fest. Feedback Fest 1.5 Old and New Games Welcome - itch.io Hope to see you there.

 

Sadly no, I'm a bit behind the schedule :\ But thanks!

 

Hi guys,
This year I started turning my ARPG into 3D, started a roguelike strategy game... and well, did some other stuff!
Let's see what I achieved in 2022 and my plans for 2023!
Cheers!

 

Hi guys!
An ARPG without a MINIMAP? GRIMSTONE finally has one!
Soon it will be as cool as the minimap of my beloved Diablo!
Cheers!
