Forgemaster was designed as a Secret Santa gift for saltysalyhug who specified "roguelike dungeon crawler." The design direction towards dwarvren ruins provided, as well as most of the systems code was provided by Zope.

Special technology includes:

• Procedural room unload and reload: Designed by Zope, the system handles spawning enemies and interactables, and unlocking doors and running cutscenes. When a player exits the previous room, the room is unloaded and disposed.
• Contextual BGM system: Utilizing room state management, the BGM can be changed on a per room basis, and responds to both enemy spawn and clear (triggering combat theme and fading to calm/environmental themes).
• Dialogue system:

This game was also designed with global illumination. During the process of exporting builds, I discovered a number of workflow caveats with the standard Unity light mapper. These caveats and trip-ups, as well as workarounds are detailed in my blog posts here: Unity Global Illumination Issues
