Ages ago, before Flash DROD, I wanted to make my own DROD. Because I was using Game Maker at the time I made it in Game Maker. It was originally released in 2005 under the title of DROS which was supposed to either be Doomed Roads of Skellhood or Deadly Rooms of Skell-Hat. Or maybe something else?

As part of finally getting all of my projects into one place and open sourcing as much as I can I also "revived" this project. Which means I updated it into Game Maker 2024 and made it playable from start to finish.

You can check the project here: https://evidentlycube.com/#dros
The zip archive is available here: (forum doesn't like the link because it has a space in it, you can download it from the link above) Windows, works on Linux with Wine
And the source code is here: https://github.com/EvidentlyCube/LegacyGames/tree/main/Games/2005-02-12-DROS

It has a single level, a total of 10 or so rooms and a few custom elements. It's rough but playable!



The project had its own thread but for reasons I can't remember I deleted it. Maybe I was ashamed of it? Here's a link to it: https://web.archive.org/web/20050501215855/http://www.drod.net/forum/viewtopic.php?TopicID=5153

Thanks for posting this!

I wouldn't be ashamed of this. It's pretty cool! Also, looking at the original graphics makes me feel so nostalgic :)

Someone in the chat has requested I add a way to play the game when numpad is not available and I did!

789 / uio / jkl can now be used if you download the latest version.
