Nightfall is a game made by Piga Software for Halloween 2022 and updated for Halloween 2023. It is a scrolling shooter where the player armed with a shotgun faces attacks from various monsters and has to dodge or shoot them, before facing a final battle with a vampire at the five minute mark. It was written in Gambas 3.17.3 and uses Qt 5 for windowing and SDL 2 for audio. Graphics are sourced from the CC0 library from Openclipart with sounds from the public domain portion of Freesound with music from OpenGameArt.org. Development tools used include the Gambas IDE, Inkscape, Audacity, KolourPaint on top of Fedora GNU/Linux. The 1.5.0 update added a splash screen, main menu, help screen, various options, multiple new enemies and a beast mode that activates if the player gets a kill streak; a bug fixing point release was uploaded on November 1st.
