    Welcome! Underlair is a video game currently being developed in Unity that aims to pack all my favorite game play mechanics into one single experience. The result will be a game offering the following features:

    Roguelike elements:
    (Inspiring games: ADOM, Cataclysm, Dwarf Fortress, The Temple of Torment)
    • Permadeath.
    • Procedural generated terrains.
    • Procedural generated side quests.
    • Skill progression randomization. (*)
    • Permanent effects.
    RPG elements:
    (Inspiring games: Wizards & Warriors 2000, Gothic series, Wizardry 8, Fallout 2)
    • Storyline with multiple endings.
    • Party based game play, up to 3 characters.
    • 4 base classes, each one unlocking 4 new classes, for a total of 20 classes.
    • 32 skills; each one unlocking 10 passive or active abilities, that are upgradable 2 times.
    • NPC dialogs.
    Dungeon Crawl elements:
    (Inspiring games: Dungeon Master 2, Eye of Beholder 2, Legend of Grimrock, Might & Magic X)
    • Dungeon exploration.
    • Grid movement system.
    • First person view.
    Strategy elements:
    (Inspiring games: Fallout 2, X-Com)
    • Turn based combat.
    • Action Point system.
    • Tactical formations.
    Survival & Crafting:
    (Inspiring games: Gothic series, The Elder Scrolls, 7 Days to Die, The Forest)
    • Realtime exploration.
    • Resource gathering.
    • Item enchantment.
    • Item crafting.
    Co-op:
    (Inspiring games: 7 Days to Die, The Forest)
    • Up to 3 players, each one controlling multiple characters.
    • Realtime and turn based mechanics.
    I would say that the main source of inspiration is Wizards & Warriors (released in 2000), immediately followed by Dungeon Master 2 and Legend of Grimrock for its modern 3D execution.
