A downloadable thieflike for Windows

BOLD - LAWLESS LIZARD ACTION is a 3rd/1st person thieflike, developed by Roberta L'Heroeck(myself) and her coterie of collaborators, where you play as a Kobold thief trying to unravel the conspiracy around your brother's kidnapping. I've been tooling away at this game for a while and am now able to put together levels w/ the gameplay framework I've started to put together.  This level was made for Steve Lee's Level Design Jam 9, and interprets the theme of Extreme with its inclement weather and story and 4:33 with attention to ambient noise and emphasis on being quiet around guards.

this game includes placeholder sounds from Thief: The Dark Project, which are unfortunately the sole copyright of Embracer Group/Middle-earth Enterprises & Friends, who most definitely do not endorse this project

this seems to have some performance issues for me

Consider lowering the settings in Scalability. With scalability set to all high with Resolution scale set to Quality, I get a stable 60fps on my Ryzen 5 3600 + GTX 1660ti system. Setting Global Illumination to Medium, and Reflections & Shadows to Low will disable Lumen as well as volumetric fog (which are some of the biggest contributors to high Draw Thread ms). Setting Effects to Medium will also disable Volumetric Clouds, replacing the skybox with a simpler model. Future updates will also add FSR 3 Framegen and DLSS.
