Hey there, I’m HenryBenry and my friend @JackBloxx0 and I have spent the last year working on a game that is heavily inspired by Piggy and Doors, and also a game where there are monsters trying to hunt you down and kill you with Rulers…
The best way to describe the game as a game with Piggy styled puzzles and gameplay similar to Doors, with different boss fights and encounters. The game contains many different features, with my favorites being the player-killer system that allows for players in the server to be the killer each round, and the “advanced” AI system that has a lot of features and is bound to scare the life out players (my friends were tweaking tf out when I play tested for the first time with them)
Concepts of the game originate all the way back into quarantine in 2020. The 2020-2021 versions of Ruler are the versions where I learned Luau and just became a better developer in general, but I eventually stopped working on the project all together as the code became too messy for me to handle.
In July of 2023 I decided to pick up the project back up and rework it from the ground up along with @JackBloxx0 since we both really wanted to revive this project that we never ended up finishing. Ever since then we’ve been working on the game consistently, with the game containing many advanced mechanics, as well as a bunch of content for users to enjoy, even with just one planned chapter on release for the game!
The game is still heavily work in progress, but we hope to release the game sometime this year, preferably somewhere around the summer.

Anyways here are some screenshots of the game (gameplay videos and trailers coming soon :eyes: )

Anyways I’m really looking forward to releasing this project to the public! :grin: It’s one of my dream games and I don’t wanna keep this game waiting for its release any longer.

So the Players are the bosses, or are the bosses bots?

The preview looks pretty alright. Not much feedback for the screenshots provided, hopefully you could release a video showcasing this system soon?

It depends on the mode that the players in the server vote for. Bot is pretty simple, as the killers in the round and map are all bots and use an AI, but for Player mode when a random player is selected, when a bossfight is started, the player killer will become the boss, alongside different effects and features for the killer to use in the bossfight. Once the bossfight ends though, the player killer will respawn into its original state and place.
Its a pretty fun system, as my friends and I have a lot of fun playing around with it and also learning the mechanics of each killer in each bossfight.
