Anyways this little RPG is about exploring the small world and killing creeps to level up to fight a strong scripted boss! However you discover things throughout the game that end up making you a monster! Make sure to interact with the people in the world to learn about everything. Also your progress will be saved, so don't feel like you need to level up to max and beat the game in one play through :)\r\n\r\nControls:\r\nMove: WASD\r\nChange Weapon: Mouse Wheel\r\nFocus Target: Right Click the mob \r\nTalk: Click 'F' when near an NPC\r\nInteract\/Open-Door: Right Click\r\nAttack: Left Click\r\nPause: Escape Key\r\n\r\n\r\nKnown Issues: \r\nFullScreen when not in your native resolution breaks the game\r\nVisual bugs on the little mobs spawned from the boss (knight looking guys)\r\nPerformance\/Stutter sometimes\r\nVery rare crash\r\n\r\n\r\nHope you enjoy the game or think it has potential! I did this over the weekend from scratch in Java and I have like 20 thousand lines of code. I am going to go take a break now. However I do plan to make a full RPG after my break from Ludum Dare, and it will play just like this game but instead you will have armour, money, a ship and a crew, and there will be a questing system and dungeons and more!\r\n\r\n\r\n","title":"Pirate RPG"}
