Sometimes, a hero will pass the Affliction check. For example, a selfish hero may take treasure for themselves, a hopeless hero may give up fighting, and a paranoid hero may become convinced that the other party members are enemies. The different afflictions cause a wide variety of different game behaviors. Heroes can become selfish, abusive, hopeless, paranoid, afraid, masochistic, or just plain irrational. Afflictions are different ways that people respond to stress. If they fail the check (which is common), they manifest a temporary condition of reduced effectiveness - an Affliction. This is presented in game as a stress meter on each hero. When the stress meter reaches 100, heroes face an Affliction check. As heroes adventure, their stress levels build. The centerpiece of this is the Affliction System. What if a hero was unwilling to fight?ĭarkest Dungeon is about the psychological toll of adventuring. The ability and skill to fight is only half of the equation. What: Modelling an adventurer's mental health with the Affliction System Both of us have enjoyed the small-scale production, where limited resources breed creativity and force hard decisions.

Right now we have six full-time people working on the game, plus our sound (Power Up Audio), music (Stuart Chatwood), and narration (Wayne June) contractors. Over the course of the game’s development, we built up a team of experienced collaborators to help make the game a reality. We were willing to bet that if we did that, there would be a decently sized niche audience that would also like it and thereby support the business. We were excited by the chance to work on a game that had no external compromises-something purely made by us, for us, the way we wanted it to be. We’d get together and brainstorm various ideas, but the one we were most captivated by was Darkest Dungeon.īoth of us freed up in the spring of 2013, and we decided it was now or never, so Red Hook Studios was born. We had been circling around the idea of doing a game together for years, but we were busy with other studios and start-ups.
