This was literally the first sidequest I made for the game 10 years ago and it's still there, just as stupid as it was orginally. #ABrokenTale #indiedev #gamedev #amateurdev #gamedevelopment #gamedeveloper #pixel #retrostyle #devlog #2D #pixel #pixelart #n64 #videogame #90s #nintendo64vibes #poop

Dungeon 1 - The Ghastler King's Mansion You always have the option to decide wich parts of the dungeon you do first, but eventually you will have to do them all. I like this dungeon design the most, like in certain Zelda games. #indiedev #gamedev #amateurdev #gamedevelopment #devlog #n64 #dungeon
