Blood Dungeon is a self-published effort from the studio and is a return to their roots of frenetic, fun, movement-focused gameplay. Kite, move, fight, and survive as you parkour through gorgeous, gritty pixel art.
“I like to sketch ideas in Game Maker once in a while to get them out of my head,” says Messhof co-founder, Mark Essen. “While it's been a while since I've done the art for a Messhof project, I still enjoy working in 2D for fun side projects. This game started as a little weekend project that I shared with friends and lent itself to being something I could scratch at over the years as a way to wind down at night. The lack of pressure and small windows of time that defined 90% of the development kept it fun and drove a lot of the design decisions. I had a little $50 tablet with a screen and I did a lot of animation in the car if I had to wait around for something or other.”
