Gamebreaking Studios

Last week we revealed the Kickstarter for Dungeon Rampage (https://lnkd.in/gvWTvvD2), the online multiplayer game we’ve been meticulously reviving over the past few months. We were lucky to secure the IP license, but we still have plenty of work ahead of us. 😄 The Good We have the original code base for the game, and it’s quite well written (shoutout original dev team). After porting the server and platform to Kubernetes we were able to get the server and platform up and running again. We’ll need a little more effort to modernize a few systems, but otherwise we’re in good shape. 😥 The Challenging The frontend is written entirely in Flash, which was shut down many years ago. Flash was a perfect choice for a Facebook game in 2013, but for us today we’d be a little more comfortable in a modern game engine. We have the game back up and running, but there are still a handful of bugs from packaging the flash project to EXE. Shoutout to our flash expert Tyler Wright for helping us dust the cobwebs off this old project. 😬 The Risky There is a Discord server with 40k+ players of the original game, anxiously awaiting our remaster. Having an existing community for a game is absolutely huge, but if we're not careful we risk disappointing the game's most passionate fans. Good thing we’re going to make them happy. As a company, our mission has always been to bring people together through games. Our specialization in Online Games made this the perfect project for us to flex our skills and bring players together for a fun time. Have fun out there at GDC this week everyone! #gamedev #gdc
