This looks absolutely darling!

Adorable pixels and perfect palette, both
for the mood and for highlighting action.

I'm gonna keep my fingers crossed for this
one for sure!

P.S.
Whoever mentioned the Dungeons of Dremor-
no, no and no again, I don't want to see
those retarded brow-planks nailed to the
character's face. It was the single most
despicable thing I have ever seen in any
character design.

I am so excited about this. I'm currently adding outdoor environments to the game.

Since the very beginning of the project, I've wanted to include both underground levels and outdoor levels. Until now, though, I've only had the underground parts implemented. It should vary the tactics in a good way, as these outdoor areas will be quite open and have more uninterrupted lines of sight. This is a mockup. I still have a bunch of improvements to make and a lot of programming to do before I can get these into the game.

I have been drawing this tileset for two days. I am probably going to see grass blades when I go to sleep.


If anyone is wondering about the details, the actual tiles as they will appear on the tilesheet are along the bottom. For grass, I'm using two color Wang tiles. That means each of a tile's four edges is either dark grass or light grass. There are 16 possible combinations, and all of those have to be hand illustrated. I will then be able to procedurally fit these together into grass patches within the level generator.

Thanks folks. I'm currently putting together a trailer, I'll definitely post that here when I'm done.

@Xion: I bet your game has made leaps and bounds too- I'd love to see how it's doing lately.

Dear human beings,
I am officially taking this game out of hibernation. I've been busy with a few other projects over the past year, including working on Realistic Kissing Simulator and doing a stint at a local game studio to help pay the bills. I'm pleased to say that I'm busily adding to and improving the game once again. I'll be posting regular updates here, as well as on my website. If you want more nitty-gritty details about making the game, including screen shots and vines of this and my other current projects, you might want to follow @LorenSchmidt on twitter.

Recently I've been improving the health system in the game. I'm shifting away from the old system, which used an innate healing ability similar to the classic roguelike "retreat and rest" approach (we could heal at any time as long as no monsters interrupted the spell by coming too close).



In the new health system, health is a limited resource. There's no longer an innate healing ability. Instead, healing items (hearts) are occasionally found in the dungeon (at a not overly generous rate). I find this system favors more tactical play; how well we do in any engagement actually has a lasting effect. It also connects health to other systems in the game in a way which I like.

The game is smart about when to drop health. The chance a given monster or container will drop a heart increases as we become more wounded. This creates an interesting secondary effect. Now we have to choose: do I break this container now, when I have high health (and get money) or do I save it for later in the hope that it will give me health?



Hearts are also available in vending machines, but they're expensive! It's almost always better to not get hurt in the first place, then we can spend our hard-earned money on equipment and upgrades instead.

There are also creepy vending machines which let us trade health for money.

Hmm, limited health sounds a lot more tense and stressful, which could be nice in a game like this. Good looking game, and I like the thought of real-time tactical combat. Following!

SolarLune- I am aiming for something with fairly fast paced, tactile combat and the tactical variation of a turn based roguelike.
