Elden Ring / multiplayer
The player has created a full-fledged version of the Elden Ring game using an unusual tool — the Microsoft Excel spreadsheet processor.
The author under the nickname brightyh360 published his project on Reddit in the r/excel community, where he described the development process. He spent 40 hours creating the game: 20 hours of programming and another 20 hours of testing and bug fixing.
«I created a top-view version of Elden Ring in Excel using various formulas, tables, and VBA. It was a long project, but it was worth it», — the developer shared.
The game map consists of 90,000 cells, contains more than 60 types of weapons and 50 types of enemies. The developer has implemented a system of character and weapon leveling with different play styles (tank, mage, fighter), added 25 sets of armor, three character classes, and six NPCs that give quests. Players can reach one of four possible endings.
The author published several screenshots and videos demonstrating the gameplay of the Excel version of Elden Ring. In the comments to the post, he added link to download the game for free.
To control the character, use the keyboard shortcut CTRL + WASD, and to interact with objects — CTRL + E. Reddit moderators have checked the file for security, but advise users to be careful due to the large number of macros.
