Dino was a monorepo started in late 2022 to learning Godot, do game jams, and start some addons/libraries. Since late 2023, I've been reimagining and refactoring - the games have being deconstructed and DRYed up into shared systems.
Dino now presents a suite of short games - these are largely platformer and top-down games with dungeon crawler and metroidvania-style maps. The maps are procedurally generated with basic algorithms and some parsed plaintext - I hope to put together some video devlogs covering the code soon.
I'm currently pushing for a June 1st release on steam! Wishlist it today, or just get the latest on itch.io.
Feel free to ping me on Discord with any questions or feedback!
