Dusk and Dawn is a short, “high danger, low attrition” -model, JRPG-style dungeon crawler I made as a school project over the course of a few months. I mainly wanted to practice producing my own art assets and finishing a working game, though in the end I had to fall back on some of the default assets in RMVX Ace due to time contraints.
The game is rather brutal and cheap, as it will kill a player who doesn’t know the incoming attack pattern, or who wanders into a new area underleveled. But it is rather interesting once one gets the hang of it. Using the right abilities at the right time is very important.
