00:00:04,600 --> 00:00:10,800
and steel series all right guys we're here at the Indie Mega Booth checking

3
00:00:08,280 --> 00:00:14,280
out Crypt of the necro dancer which the name sounds crazy and the game is crazy

4
00:00:13,000 --> 00:00:18,920
can you tell me more about the main premise of this game yeah sure um it's a

5
00:00:16,600 --> 00:00:23,039
Rog likee rhythm game so it combines dungeon crawling with moving to the beat

6
00:00:21,320 --> 00:00:27,119
and attacking to the beat um so you crawl around a dungeon and you attack

7
00:00:24,599 --> 00:00:32,119
dragons and and a lot of Undead uh monsters cuz of necro dancer um so yeah

8
00:00:29,599 --> 00:00:35,120
that's a premise of it yeah so basically the whole the moving to the beat thing

9
00:00:33,680 --> 00:00:38,399
there's a song playing in the background you can load your own MP3s correct so

10
00:00:37,000 --> 00:00:43,079
you can load Your Own MP3 so if there's a song you like a certain dance song you like you can load that up and then at

11
00:00:41,600 --> 00:00:46,920
the bottom of the screen you see bars coming into a heart and you have to move

12
00:00:45,239 --> 00:00:50,520
on the rhythm of the song so you can load in whatever you want and dance to

13
00:00:48,520 --> 00:00:54,760
that tell me more about the main mechanics I know there's a shovel and a

14
00:00:52,320 --> 00:00:57,920
weapon how does that play into the game um so you move around with only the

15
00:00:56,399 --> 00:01:02,120
arrow keys or if you're playing with a DDR pad with your feet and and uh you

16
00:01:00,440 --> 00:01:05,880
move around with just those and if there is an enemy like in the attack range of

17
00:01:04,119 --> 00:01:09,720
your weapon then you'll attack instead or if you run into a wall you'll dig it

18
00:01:07,680 --> 00:01:14,240
out instead so it's all like context based uh mechanics cool there's also

19
00:01:12,920 --> 00:01:17,759
hidden shops in the game and stuff that you can find and to purchase things you

20
00:01:16,119 --> 00:01:22,840
have to dance on top of them which is actually pretty awesome what's your

21
00:01:19,560 --> 00:01:24,320
favorite part of this game oh manal

22
00:01:22,840 --> 00:01:28,560
question I know right yeah well it's a Rog leg so it is randomly generated

23
00:01:26,600 --> 00:01:31,960
dungeons uh and so every time you play it it's different when you die started

24
00:01:30,320 --> 00:01:35,280
all the way over and it's just like a has a lot of replayability it's really

25
00:01:33,360 --> 00:01:38,880
refreshing as a developer it's super fun for me cuz I don't get bored of it so

26
00:01:37,200 --> 00:01:41,360
yeah yeah not getting bored of a game as a developer is kind of a big deal so I

27
00:01:40,439 --> 00:01:46,040
don't blame you for that being a favorite part of the game at all um this

28
00:01:43,759 --> 00:01:51,560
is a really interesting game you guys won an award I've heard uh editor's

29
00:01:48,960 --> 00:01:56,560

30
00:01:53,759 --> 00:01:59,920
