I'm thinking a non-violent exploration game where you have to disarm traps and avoid monsters (maybe with spells, idk yet).

My progress... learning Unity3d at the same time. Good tool to prototype, but you have to know how to program if you want to do anything...


Did not generated dungeon yet, but this should not be a problem, i could use http://www.stevegargolinski.com/minidungeon-a-free-random-dungeon-jump-start-for-unity/ or any cave generation system. I was more interested about the gameplay.

I was thinking of a "turn-based" gameplay but with continuous movement. You control time but in a continuous way, not by turn (like if you do "pause" when you want)... Have to continue prototyping this...

HERE is what I have so far. I was hoping to get a little farther. Still need a few more animations. You can move using the arrow keys and use a fireblast attack by hitting A. which damages all around you. punch out buildings to fill up your attack. I was hoping that the combat would be more exciting then it currently is. I wanted a feeling of constantly pushing forward after your baby. any suggestions?

P.S. I haven't got the game ending at level 10 yet, and I havent got dying working yet and there are a few bugs which still cause problems.

And cute little characters  Smiley

Yeah I had that bug too.
Btw a simple proposition for polishing. Could you skip animation for offscreen enemies, as it's annoying to wait for 'em if you can't see 'em?

I'm falling a bit behind, I've yet to implement any of the entities besides the player. AI will probably be pretty lame unless I put in some extra time tonight or tomorrow. Stuff is happening, though!  Grin

My progress so far http://www.2dif.com/Unity/7DRL/1/

I tried to keep to "turn based" feeling of roguelikes (that leads to some strategic choices, and also to not be stressed while playing, as ennemies won't play as long as you don't play)
Of course it's an early prototype, ennemies are stupid, maps are random, no traps, no equipment...
But please tell me what you think about this.

@Jason: That's really cool, I love the animations, although I was another one who got frozen to the spot after pressing 'A'.

@Peous: Looks promising. The 'turn based' feeling that you're going for is slightly ruined at the moment by the lack of a cap on top speed, although having said that hurtling around at twice the speed of light was pretty fun in and of itself.  At the moment the chests don't seem to do anything when you pick them up - what do you have planned for these?

- Fixed bug: hit ennemies now knockbacks them
- Added some -minimal- traps
V3 - http://www.2dif.com/Unity/7DRL/3/
- Added hud
- Chests now give stats bonus
- Hitting enemies with some speed does more damage

Got combat in.
Lots of potential for aerial combat, fun floaty floaty dynamics. I'm enjoying it a lot.
