Downcedure
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.
