About
Dwarves Are Stealing My Bread!
Dwarves Are Stealing My Bread is a sandbox adventure game where you play as a dwarf trying to uncover the baked secrets of the holy bread. This game is technically unfinished, I do plan to revamp it in the future with better gameplay & structure.
Development
The name
The game's idea comes from one of my friends where we were playing around with silly website ideas, and this comes along. A dwarves civilization that worships bread. Silly concepts = silly games lol, so I made it a game.
Other ingredients
I was also taking a art class at the time, and decided to use the art for this game for the projects of choice. As well, this game has a LOT of pixel art in it. I also was working on a new tool for making pixel art, which over time evolved into The Dicey Sprite & Tile Maker. This game was basically the test run for the tool's UX and capabilities, and just about all the game's art was made using it.
Q/A
How long did it take to make?
Several months, as I was bouncing between different projects.
What is the holy bread
Pretzel bread.
How long did the art take?
At first, a long time. Like litteral hours per sprite animation & item sets. But as TDS&TM was being developed, it became exponentially faster.
