Zukarii: The Descent

You have been studying and training with the Zukaran masters for years. Now your time has come. You have been chosen to enter Zurath and prove your worth. Success means becoming a member of the order with access to secret mysteries of the arcane! Failure means death!

Can you overcome the denizens of the long abandoned fortress and claim your place in the circle of the Zukarii?

Zukarii is a 2d dungeon crawler with some aspects of ARPG like itemization stats and UI. The current download is a public version of my dev test build. It is not complete and likely has some issues I have not found. There is a reason the suggested donation is $0 :)

I hope you will check out my game, and if you enjoy it, join me on my journey to build a really fun game!


AI Use - This is not a vibe coded game!

CODE:

1) Optimization - faster execution for in game performance
2) Bug hunting - isolate cause of runtime errors and offer suggestions to fix
3) Refactoring - reorganizing code after major updates for simplicity and efficiency

The codebase is not the output of an LLM but they have been used to examine and suggest bugfixes and optimizations. I have been writing code professionally for decades, and i am making this game to learn game dev. 

GRAPHICS: Game Title Screen background,  and one NPC sprite are AI Generated

All other audio, graphic, and animation assets in the game were either created directly by me or sourced from creator sites like: 
Itch.io ,  CraftPix.net,  and  OpenGameArt.org
