About This Demo

Overview

Bloody Bridge is a 2D turn-based RPG. Players will create a character and defend their fortress against waves of enemies (one by one -- it's a narrow bridge!). Acquire loot from defeated enemies, buy and sell equipment from various traders in the town hub, receive new abilities from trainers, and craft custom spells at the Mage Tower -- you know, all that good RPG stuff!

About Development

The Bloody Bridge demo has been in development for over a year and gone through countless iterations. All core mechanics / features are currently in the demo; continued development will further expand, tweak, and revise the following systems:

Combat

Players will be able to fight their way to level 5 (out of an intended level cap of 25). They will encounter a variety of enemies, each possessing their own strengths, weaknesses, and abilities. Players will receive (and be able to craft) a small number of spells and abilities to aid them in their fights. Caution - whilst cartoonish & unrealistic, depictions of death in Bloody Bridge often include dismemberment, decapitation, and a lot of blood!

Items / Loot

There are a huge number of items in the demo. Items, whether looted from defeated enemies or purchased from vendors, are often randomized according to their prefix and / or suffix assignation. This system provides a wide range of attributes, stats, and appearances that Players can refer to when customizing their character's loadout. In the demo, Players can expect to obtain a variety of Common and Uncommon items. Continued development would add Rare, Epic, and Legendary items. 

Spellcrafting

Spellcrafting is a system by which Players can create and customize totally unique spells to assist them in combat. Players can adjust damage, range, and multiplier values, add spell effects (i.e., damage over time), name and customize their spell description, and even select the visual effect for their spell (i.e., a scorching fireball, a crackling lightning blast, etc.). In the demo, Players will be able to craft both offensive and defensive spells, however they will be limited to 1 available effect (of dozens) and 1 damage-type (of 4). Continued development will allow Players to purchase and / or unlock all effects and damage-types. 

Trading

In the demo, Players can expect to be able to trade with both the Blacksmith and at the Mage Tower. The General Store and the Inn will be unlocked beyond the demo. When trading, Players can purchase items from the vendor and sell any unwanted items from their inventory. 

Character Customization

When starting a new game, Players will be able to create and customize their character. Players can select from a range of visual features, adjust their character's skin, eye, and hair tone, and set their character's starting attributes. Continued development will add even more visual options to the character creator.
