Project Seppuku!

Project Overview

Elevator Pitch

A roguelike set on a rigged 1990s push-your-luck style game show. Your goal is to cheat and bankrupt the network by winning an impossibly large amount of money. Exploit the tools that the game show provides to create insane (possibly even infinite) combos! They’re legally obliged to pay out ;)

Where are we?

We currently have a prototype of our core gameplay loop, made entirely with crappy programmer art.

​

Who are we?

We are currently a team of 3, covering programming, design, and audio. We are based in NYC. Our team has previously won a award for “Most Popular Game” in a large Chinese indie game competition.
