Dungeon Diner
Game Description:
Dungeon Diner is a top-down dungeon crawler, where you hunt down monsters and harvest their parts, to then use to cook dishes for hungry customers in your diner!
This project was my major production for my 2nd and last year of studying Game Design at AIE (Academy of Interactive Entertainment). There were 5 team members, including myself.

Balanced economies:
