Indie game studio · Madrid, Spain
We're Dogseye Studio, a small team building a 2D top-down adventure full of exploration, dungeons, combat and puzzles, set in a world that runs on music.
About us
Dogseye Studio is an indie game studio based in Madrid, made up of six university students who love video games. We're developing an action RPG as our fourth-year university project, and sharing the journey with everyone who wants to follow along.
In development Our game
Our current project is a 2D top-down action RPG focused on exploration, dungeon crawling, combat and puzzles. It draws inspiration from the classic The Legend of Zelda games and the way they blend adventure, combat and environmental puzzle-solving.
The game is set in Orquesta, a world whose people are divided into factions based on families of musical instruments. Music generates an essence that sustains most of its inhabitants. Over time, political manipulation, censorship, inequality and the persecution of certain groups have transformed its society.
Instrument families include
Our protagonist is a young member of the percussion faction. After attacks by mysterious mutant creatures, he sets out on an adventure to discover the truth behind the legendary conductors and the history of his world.
Move freely through a top-down world and interact with characters, objects, signs and mechanisms.
Face enemies with different behavior patterns, armed with a basic melee attack.
Explore dungeons and solve puzzles built around the environment.
Items that work in combat and for solving puzzles. In our current demo design, it's a frisbee.
Visually, we're aiming for detailed pixel art, tile-based environments and a distinct identity for every faction, with music that reflects each instrument family and region.
Everything in this section describes the game's current design. Details may change as development continues.
