The Red Portal - Extraction mod for DevilutionX
So I really enjoyed DevilutionX coop on the switch so I thought I'd create a mod for fun ( Disclaimer I used Claude Code to help me throughout )
Essentially it removes the concept of dungeons in the traditional sense, you get scrolls to open portals and each one has different modifiers and a boss at the end. If you die you, lose everything, all gear so it creates a sense of risk each time you go in for better loot.
I have added some new mechanics such as gambling tokens, talk to Wirt and you get a 3 reel fruit machine which can drop loot tied to your deepest dungeon level.
You can get scrolls to prevent dropping loot on death ( 50k gold )
And it adds a slimmed down version of the Diablo 2 gem system. You can apply one gem permanently to any item. It can't be removed and gems also level up as you progress.
One of the NPC explains all the systems and also lets you know your progress.
I've only play tested this with my misses, so if anyone is interested to try it I thought I'd put it out there. Feel free to let me know if you like or dislike any of the systems. We've been enjoying it so far
P.S sorry forgot to post the repo of the game https://github.com/noble1911/the-red-portal
