Scalesmith - Age of Dragons

Can you collect enough scales and become powerful enough to defeat the final boss?

Progress will be saved if you return to the main menu, but not if the page is refreshed.

Stand near a healing fountain to quickly regenerate health.

Stand near a portal to teleport to different areas.

Thanks for playing! Any feedback/comments/ratings are greatly appreciated :)

I made this for the GMTK 2024 game jam, which is my first ever. There was a lot I wanted to change and add, but with the time allotted I couldn't get to everything (classic solo-dev over scoping). I had so much fun, and learned a lot through the process nonetheless. I look forward to making many more games in the future!

I would love to continue improving upon this game and evolving it beyond the game jam, so feel free to leave a comment with any suggestions!

Plans for future updates:

Status effects

Weapon and Armor crafting

Enhanced scale upgrade/perks system

More mobs and enemy move sets

More areas with larger level design 

Art/Animation/Audio overhaul

Cutscenes and improved story

Changelog:

V1.1

Reduced number of scales dropped by mobs for balancing

Fixed a number of bugs

V1.2

Reduced number of starting scales from 999 to 0 (Whoopsies! Forgot to change the value from testing -_-)

V1.3

Added a working options menu so that you can change the volume 

V1.4

Balance adjustments, dialogue changes, more bug fixes

Known Issues:

Burn and Slow not implemented yet

Cannot restart boss unless you have scales

Crosshair visual bugged

Can sometimes collide with mobs after their death

I will try to get all of these resolved when I have the time!

All asset creation and development was done completely by myself, other than what is listed below:
