Make something spooky with Nightfall

Stonehold: Nightfall is a free isometric pixel-art pack: a gothic castle on a crag, a misty graveyard, Count Dracula and his household, the Creature and its maker, a vampire hunter, an angry village mob, and skeletons and zombies rising from their graves. It comes with attacks, items, effects, a UI kit, a ready-made Tiled map and a free sound-effects pack, so you can get straight to the fun part.

New for the jam: Nightfall is now on v1.5: 26 free sound effects, the Headless Horseman, prowling wolves and a small playable starter game (Dracula walks the example map, bites villagers, fills the fear meter, raises skeletons) with plain, commented code to build on. Grab the whole pack, or just the small "Jam Kit" download.

Get the pack (free): ridgeworksstudio.itch.io/stonehold-nightfall

The one rule

Use Stonehold: Nightfall in your game. Mix in anything else you like: other art, your own art, music and sound from anywhere you're allowed to use it.

Ideas, if you want them

  • Play Dracula: feed on lone villagers at night, but don't let the fear meter fill or the mob comes for you.
  • Play the hunter: clear the graveyard before dawn.
  • Defend the castle from the torch-and-pitchfork mob.
  • Something we haven't thought of.

Details

  • Any engine, any genre, solo or team.
  • Browser-playable games are easiest for everyone to try, but downloads are fine.
  • No ranking and no voting: every finished game gets featured in a devlog on the Nightfall page when the jam ends.
  • Make it new during the jam (using the pack and your own reusable code is fine).

Have fun, and happy Halloween.
