Introducing Dungeons of Infinity
A talented individual known as Justin Bohemier has transformed the classic Super Nintendo hit, A Link to the Past, into a procedurally-generated roguelike dungeon crawler. Over four years in development using Gamemaker Studio with the original assets, the game ‘Dungeons of Infinity’ aims to offer a new and challenging experience for fans.
Key Features:
- Procedural Generation - Each playthrough offers unique layouts, enemies, and items.
- Link’s Nemesis Aghanim - The ultimate challenge lies in encountering Link’s arch-enemy, Aghanim. Survival depends on navigating the dungeons until reaching this final boss.
The creator emphasizes that no continues or extra lives are available, adding to the game’s difficulty curve.
What do you think about applying roguelike elements to classic games like ‘A Link to the Past’? Have you encountered similar fan projects?
What did the dev do to shield the project from a DMCA? Couldn’t find it in the article. If it’s not a romhack, then it would be vulnerable to those.
Nothing, Nintendo can wipe it at any moment. The dev will probably not get sued if he removes the game at the first request and since he hasn’t monetized it in any way. But if Nintendo feels like it he can definitely get sued.
We can hope Nintendo let it be, but in the past they’ve killed many fangames like this one. Like the 2D OOT which was very good but got wiped by Nintendo.
I never thought I’d root for Nintendo’s lawyers but here we are.
What’s wrong with you?
I hate watching a classic RPG get mutilated into a roguelike.
