Hi Alcapa Games Reikon Dungeon is looking really good. It has been motivational for me as I’m developing a First Person Procedural Dungeon Crawler, single handedly. Due to my current 3D Art skill (or lack there of), I’m aiming for a voxel art style using PBR materials. Instanced Static Meshes significantly improve performance using lots of cube meshes.

We’re flattered! Thank you so much for your kind words.
Yup, we tried with the Instanced Static Meshes but due to how we build the dungeons we had issues with the navigation/surfaces.
Your creature looks cool! Reminds me of Knack which had a super cool technology/appeal behind!

This game looks fantastic and fun to play. I’m really impressed with your menu update, it looks very professional! You mention having performance issues, it seems you could save a ton of draw calls by using instanced static meshes (if you aren’t already). Basically just making a blueprint that contains your set of static mesh building blocks as instanced static meshes and then adding an instance with the correct TRS to build out chunks of your room. In the end, each of your rooms would only be as many draw calls as you have building blocks.

Thanks a lot, super glad you like the update!
And as I replied to Techlord it’s something we tried but couldn’t work out sadly, by flattening the surfaces we lowered the drawcalls and we’ll be probably able to add some dynamic lighting.
At the moment we’re looking at the possibility to bake the AO, or create proper normals for the surfaces because now the floor looks kinda flat, sadly we’re not experienced on this so it’s early to make any promise
