Lichbound is an action Roguelike dungeon crawler. You move through different areas of the Lich's lair, who is gaining control over the inhabitants of the Spirit Realm. The dungeon are chaotic; in the game, they are procedurally generated every time you start a new 'run'. In classic Roguelike fashion, you start all over when you die - but this time with more experience and a new chance of victory.

Artist statement

Hey I'm Joshua, I'm a game developer focussing on all-round gameplay development in which I enjoy creating mechanics that are less common or maybe even unique.

Ambitions

Within five years from now I hope to have my own game studio Grim Leaper Studios to be a flourishing studio where we are able to create games that we want to make and can enjoy playing ourselves. On a personal level I'd also like to focus a bit more on some technical art and would like to get a bit more into writing shaders and such.

Learned during the studies

The most important thing I have learned during this study is how to work on my own and how to grow and give feedback to myself. In this field of work it's very important to have good grasp of what you want to do and how you can achieve and grow the things you want. And even though this study hasn't always been easy, this is definitely something I learned at HKU and in my opinion by far the most important.
