Dungeon
Master's Gallery v1.1 FAQ released by Interactive Fantasies |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| About Dungeon Master's Gallery Gallery was intended to be my first "dungeon" game, since I am a big fan of PC dungeon hacks and crawls, as well as dungeon-based RPGs. I was inspired greatly by Nethack, an age-old dungeon hack, and partially by EarthBound, a console RPG by Nintendo. One of the characters in EarthBound is Brick Road, a "dungeon developer" who eventually creates his masterpiece: "Dungeon Man," the first combination of man and dungeon. This dungeon is filled with philosophy on dungeon creation and jokes about dungeon cliches. It also has some nice touches like a clinic and a "monster zoo." I wanted to make Gallery a comfortable dungeon environment rather that a threatening or scary one. I injected a lot of humor and parody, resulting in the combination of spoof and dungeon crawl you have now. |

| Level 1 Jovia is an experienced human fighter/thief wandering around this dungeon level. He'll sell you some supplies. Shayna, a novice human thief, is trapped in a spider-web in the lower right-hand corner of the level. If you free her, she will appear in Level 5. The bugbear will attack if you approach. If he comes into contact with you, you will lose 6 health. He takes 2 shots to kill and provides 5 points. You can clear his corpse out of your way by moving into it. Six spiders are located to the south-east and will attack when you enter the east fork in the tunnel. Each one will die after one shot and give 2 points. If they come into contact with you, they take 2 health and die. Behind a weak wall destroyed by arrows are three mushrooms. The green one provides 5 health, the red one takes 5 health, and the blue one sings a little ditty and leaves. |
