SleepDungeon

SleepDungeon is a simple dungeon crawler and the result of a 48 hours game jam.

The game is written in Python3 and PyGame. It features simple but nice 2D graphics and challenges you with 30 rooms over two levels.

The origin of the project was the 2. GameJam der Falkultät Informatik at the TU Dresden.

During the 48 hours of the GameJam the following five members of our team, each with individual skills and experiences developed the game:

• Robert Ufer - Coding
• Martin Oehme - Level design and coding
• Karsten Lehmann - Coding
• Robert Ludwig - Graphic design
• Lars Westermann - Coding

A short post with a let’s play of the games tutorial is also available on Karstens blog (German).
