Introducing Dungeons of Infinity

A talented individual known as Justin Bohemier has transformed the classic Super Nintendo hit, A Link to the Past, into a procedurally-generated roguelike dungeon crawler. Over four years in development using Gamemaker Studio with the original assets, the game 'Dungeons of Infinity' aims to offer a new and challenging experience for fans.

Key Features:

Procedural Generation - Each playthrough offers unique layouts, enemies, and items.
Link's Nemesis Aghanim - The ultimate challenge lies in encountering Link's arch-enemy, Aghanim. Survival depends on navigating the dungeons until reaching this final boss.

The creator emphasizes that no continues or extra lives are available, adding to the game’s difficulty curve.

What do you think about applying roguelike elements to classic games like 'A Link to the Past'? Have you encountered similar fan projects?

Thanks for posting all this! Some of the scans you posted are showing things are malicious. I'm not too tech savvy, can you elaborate on this tool? Does that mean these files are dangerous to run?

Yeah, those are just false-positives, they think they are suspicious or malicious, but they are not. VirusTotal uses 70+ scanners to check the URL or file. The best way to think about it is that since the majority of the scans show it as clean, it is most likely to be safe. If there are several scans showing it as malicious, it probably has something that isn't safe.
