Hi I'm Max, a solo indie developer from Germany. A few years back, I decided to pursue my childhood dream of making games, so I quit my day job. I converted an old ambulance into my cozy living and workspace , which I fondly call "The Gaming Van". During the summers, I retreated into nature, developing my first commercial game, "Legends of Dionysos." It's been three years of hard work, and I am excited to finally release the game.

What inspired you to create Legends of Dionysos, and how did you come up with the concept of blending RPG elements with fast-paced gameplay in a 2.5D environment?

Since I was a kid, I always dreamed of a game that blends RPG elements with fast-paced action. I grew up playing classics like Street Fighter, Metal Slug, Sonic, and Super Mario—games set in pixelated worlds with intense combat and platforming. But I also had a soft spot for RPGs like Final Fantasy, Secret of Mana, and Diablo, where you explore, fight monsters, and level up your character. Legends of Dionysos is my take on combining the best of both worlds. It's got the speed and excitement of beat 'em ups, along with the depth of RPGs, complete with character progression and loot.

The combat system in Legends of Dionysos seems quite unique, with players not being restricted to specific classes but rather having access to all weapons when fighting. How did you develop this system, and what challenges did you face in ensuring balance and player engagement?…
