Nice idea, I like the sound of it.

Hi and welcome to Stone Flinger!
Stone Flinger is a short 2D orthogonal RPG played Arcade style. Your goal is to accumulate as many points as possible, and progress as far as possible during your one single life. It will be free-to-play and there won't be any price tiering. Upon death, you will respawn at the start, with a fresh desire to outdo your previous run.
Points are accumulated by locating objects scattered around the map, including coins and treasure, as well slaying any monsters you encounter with your trusty slingshot. You can replenish health as you scour the map, but be warned, not everything you see will benefit you.
As things stand the game is current working without the high-score scripting in place. There's currently 2 large areas to traverse, an outdoor area and a cave system. I'm still playing around with various things for the game, considering ideas like speed boost and alternative ways to attacking. Sound and some further UI elements are scheduled once the game is closer to completion.
This is my first game project, having started 2 months ago. I'd always been put off game development as I have zero drawing ability, but I bought a book and thought I'd give it a try. I'm learning as I go, so I'd welcome feedback. I've been largely relying on users https://pipoya.itch.io/ and https://limezu.itch.io/ for sprites and tiles so check them out if you like them.
Feel free to ask questions and deliver feedback. Thanks.
Hey. I'm Lordzola, I starting deving about 2 months ago as I was bored. I'm hoping to release my first game before Christmas, a top-down 2D orthogonal rogue-like game. I've been reading up on Unity development with books; I've just completed Jared Halpern's book and I'm expanding on my games contents day by day. I'm quite happy with it so far, nothing special but it works and I've got some really nice tilesets going and plenty of ideas to try and implement. Anyway, keep your eyes out. Tara.

Hi LimeZu, thanks for the Summer Sale the packs are great. If you are still looking for ideas I had a few I thought would compliment the pack well:
PETS: If you could create a few different pets, there's a lot of objects that could go alongside them e.g bowls, doghouse, cat tree, hamster wheel.
TECH: There's already some great computers but I think a few little things are missing. A television would be good, a radio (like a boombox?) would work well with the other musical equipment, and maybe a telephone and some headphones. You could also add a few console-like machines with controllers and a TV stand to expand the living room options.
Thanks again
