A downloadable game for Windows, macOS, and Linux

Downcedure is a game made for Prisma Games Jam 2nd Edition which was a 48 hour game jam from April 12th 2024 from April 14th 2024.

In Downcedure you control a player named Dave (canon) in a 2D 256x256 world. The game is similar or at least inspired by Minecraft Classic 0.30 from 2009.

Controls (Mouse + Keyboard)

  • WASD Movement
  • Left Click Mining/Digging
  • Right Click Placing
  • Scroll/Q/E/Number Keys Switch Inventory Slot
  • Space (Release) Jump. On Release inspired by FromSoft titles.
  • F2 Take Screenshot (Saves to persistent data directory)
  • Esc Exit game/Return to main menu.

Controls (Controller)

  • Left Stick Movement
  • Right Stick Aim
  • RT (Xbox)/R2 (PS) Mining/Digging
  • LT (Xbox)/L2 (PS) Placing
  • LB/RB (Xbox) / L1/R1 (PS) Switch Inventory Slot
  • A (Xbox)/X (PS)/Right Stick (Press) Jump
  • Menu (Xbox)/Share (PS) Exit game/Return to main menu
  • Start (Xbox)/Options (PS) Take Screenshot (Saves to persistent data directory)


The game also has partial controller support. I intended to have full controller support initially, where I implemented the movement early on, but due to lack of time in the end, placing and digging is insanely awkward as it still depends on cursor location. Possible I'll fix this at some point post jam.

Platforms

Windows mainly. Linux and macOS is untested.

Install instructions

To install, download the zip files, unzip the files anywhere and run. This should be everything if you use the official Itch.Io App.

However if you manually download the game, some additional things may be needed if you use macOS or Linux, these platforms are listed below. Do try to launch the game before however, to know if you're required to do any of these steps.

macOS

Due to how signing binaries cost $100/yr even for indie developers, you will need to do some things before launching the game.

  1. Open the install directory in command line, and write "chmod +x Downcedure.app/Contents/MacOS/Downcedure"
  2. Right Click app > Open > OK
  3. Right Click app > Open > Open
  4. Now you should be able to continue as normal

Linux

Since you need run privileges for some apps, there's one thing you need to do.

  1. Open the install directory in command line, and write "chmod +x Downcedure.x86_64"
  2. Now you should be able to continue as normal
