The next big feature I am working on is: DUNGEONS!
How will they work?
The entrances to these dungeons will spread throughout the world. The dungeons will be instanced challenges that multiple players can join. The dungeons will be created by players! The creator of the dungeon can create the dungeon with blocks however they want. Right now they can also add enemies, doors, moving platforms, and move the treasure chest. Eventually I will also be adding many more features to the dungeon builder like traps and puzzle mechanics but not until after the contest is over so what you have to build with now will not change during the duration of the contest.
Contest
I need your help by making some awesome dungeons! These dungeons will be vital in shaping the development of Skullborn and will be used in the first Skullborn trailer!
How do I participate?
1) Enter your username and password and click "Builder"
2) Click "Build Dungeon".
3) Enter in the name of your dungeon (can be changed later) and click "Create New"
See the info in the top right for an explanation of the controls
This indicates the player spawn which can be moved
This is the chest which the player should find at the end of the dungeon. It indicates that the dungeon has been completed and the player will receive a reward when they interact with it. The reward will be decided by the game depending on the difficulty of the dungeon's surrounding area in the game world.
"Test Dungeon" this allows you to try the dungeon as a player would if they found your dungeon in game. NOTE: this is very WIP so certain things won't work in the way they should yet. Namely "The Wrock" enemy does not attack, all enemies can walk through doors, and moving platforms are kind of glitchy.
"Edit Dungeon Entrance": This allows you to edit what the dungeon entrance will look like in the game world. Once the player walks into this entrance they will spawn in your dungeon.
"Dungeon Entities":
These are all enemies, moving platforms, and doors that you can add to your dungeon
All participants must submit their dungeons by April 8th 3pm CST and at 5pm on April 8th I will be reviewing everyone's submissions on Twitch!
Guidelines
The dungeon shouldn't overload the player with too many enemies at once. Please spread the enemies out in a way that will challenge but not overwhelm the player.
Make something that looks cool! I will be using these dungeons to make a trailer which I will put on Steam and I will also use it to try and get approved to publish Skullborn on consoles. The future of Skullborn is in your hands .. but no pressure 😆

Everyone who makes a dungeon that follows these guidelines will be rewarded with these super cool "deal with it" sunglasses
These are an exclusive item only available to to participants if this dungeon building contest! So let's build some awesome dungeons!
