Shadows of Dragonholde Rework

👋 Hey! I'm Cal, Solo Developer of Shadows of Dragonholde

Hi everyone! I’ve been working on my game, Shadows of Dragonholde, for almost 2 years during early mornings and late nights around work and family life. It’s a pixel art survival dungeon crawler with a strong focus on class-based combat, skill customisation, and ancient mysteries.

I’m finally ready to start sharing what I’ve been building with the world!
Since I added a small combat alpha back in November I've added a huge number of new systems and I'm excited to show you all :)

The Core systems are in place and I'm ready to start creating chapter one. There is currently a playable tutorial where you'll learn the ropes. Currently only the Elementalist is available but I'm hoping to add the other two very soon!

The logo is a rought idea, but still needs a lot of work I just needed a header image :)

Below is a quick overview of the game’s systems—I'll be posting full breakdowns for each soon.

⚔️ Tutorial & Game Premise

Escape from the depths of Dragonholde after being framed for a crime you didn’t commit. Learn the basics of survival, combat, and exploration as you fight your way into the wider world of Zurus.

⛏️ Skills & Progression

Gather, craft, cook, fish, brew, and survive. There are currently 7 active skills, each with full skill trees, interactions, and plans for more in the future.

🧙‍♂️ Classes, Abilities, and Passive Trees

Play as the Trapper, Gladiator, or Elementalist—each with unique abilities, passive perks, and a totally different playstyle.

🔮 Enchanting

Customize your abilities with modular enchantments that evolve as you level up. Change spell behavior, stack buffs, or even turn active abilities into passive auras.

It's dangerous to go alone, take these!

📜 Quests, Dungeons, and Loot

Quests drive the main story, dungeons are where you'll spend your endgame, and here's to the loot we found along the way.

🌌 World & Lore

Set on the ancient world of Zurus, a planet created by long-lost celestial beings. Its protectors are gone. Its enemies are waking. And you’re caught in the middle.Find out more soon...
