Sonucido: The Mage - a classic turn-based Dungeon Crawler!

I like the graphics. Looks nice. Good luck with the game =)

Looks interesting :) Added to wishlist as I know it helps a ton for the game visibility on Steam :)

Looks like a low-effort game. The world itself doesn't look too bad, but the sprites should be replaced. If you can't draw why not buy sprites? Sure hiring someone to make custom ones would be very expensive, but buying some already made packs would be relatively cheap and would make the game look much better.

I would also suggest not having the genre of the game in the name, that's what description portion of the store page is for.
Also what's the point of adding your name to game titles? Who are you that it's so important for your name to be in the title of the games you make?

looks cool!!! added to my wishlist. I hope the development continues going well :D

I love to play such games in VR. And with minimalistic graphics, it is possible to play directly on Oculus Quest or Go.
Although, I never played dungeon crawlers on PC. There are a lot of good RPG-maker-based and other third-person games.
You could try to port your game to VR if you want a wider audience.

Hey guys, I finally implemented the leveling system, now, most of the systems are complete! Still working on the demo for the Steam Next Fest - deadline is approaching :'D

Oh hey... this reminds me of the old Ultima Underworld and Elder Scrolls games back in the 90's! Consider this wishlisted.

Good job mate. It is nice to see that you made one of your dream true.
Keep on!

Today is the 180th day of development! Still working on the demo for the upcoming Steam Next Fest! :)
Most of the stuff is done but I still need to put in the translations and polish the game further!

I bought a couple of translations!
The game was planned to have English, German, Spanish, Portuguese (EU/BR) - now there are a couple more on the list!
Simplified Chinese, Korean, Japanese, Russian and Turkish! :)

Still preparing for the demo which will be released in a few days on June 16th as part of the Steam Next Fest!!

The demo for my game Sonucido: The Mage is now available as a part of the Steam Next Fest!

I played your demo a few days ago with some other devs, there were a number of commonly agreed points you should improve

• A number of factors make it play more like a linear puzzle game than a dungeon crawler. The fact that you start with all your equipment and don't find any more, the levels being designed linearly to force you into a sequence of mandatory encounters, plus the fact that you can't run once a battle starts. It doesn't feel like the player has much choice in or out of battle, at most the choice is when to use the strength potion
• The UI works rather inconsistently. Some items can be selected with the mouse but others are keyboard only
• The controls are split into a lot of hotkeys when it feels like they'd be better as HUD elements or inventory items. Striking with a weapon makes sense as a key, but swapping a weapon or using a potion/strength potion/bomb feel like they should involve clicking a button. As it was I had to open the controls screen a lot since some of the one-off hotkeys kept escaping my memory
• Your brickwork tiles incorrectly on the y-axis, leading to a double border and misaligned bricks. The cylinder elements also really stick out, usually in something pixel based you'd extrude an 'n-gon' where the pixels match up neatly with the polygon edges
• Death automatically closes the game, which is something I'd extremely warn against. If a player is not satisfied by the first time they close the game, chances are they will never open it again

Look cool, there will be permadeath in the game ? (if you die = you restart from the beginning)

New demo version will be released very soon today! Should fix the remaining UX problems the game had relating to the dialogue and the game is now much more accessible. If you already played it, maybe try it out :D

The official release date is now the 2nd of December! Even though I wanted to release it before Q4, I simply couldn't manage it without cutting a lot of corners - which I didn't want to do.

The last demo version is up, if you are interested try it out :)

Game delayed again! 2022!

I created a new updated trailer for the game and wrote a blog entry what I've learned while developing Sonucido!

Implemented another puzzle a couple of days ago and I think I got more or less all puzzles which I want in the game. Working on new levels! :)

Working on a new and bigger demo! It won't feature any levels of the old one, so if you haven't played it, maybe try it!
