Berserkrgangr is a moba where each team have to conquer the enemy *base* by raising towers. Each player can summon a tower but only before the most advanced enemy tower. It's a game of pushing and backing. You can upgrade your tower and add some modifiers to your character with a rune-like system. I'm trying to emphasize a team-oriented gameplay by staying away from polyvalent classes; there are three roles : tank, dps and healer but several different characters per role should be available in the future.

With this post i'll try to give a more fine-grained update rate compare to Indiedb where i post once a week. Hoping on some feedbacks about game design ideas and pixel art stuff. Smiley

looking cool! that is an interesting approach to try to focus the moba rather than adding complexity through bredth. good luck with it!

Thank you !

Last few weeks, i've been switching from a MMO-type-focus like that :



to something more aim oriented like this :



But those are mostly for zone skills so today i've thought about how to target specific players and while the idea was to aim i think i'm just gonna go the hack&slash / moba way where you have to mouse over the player.

Today i've been working on a wooden bridge !



There's a weird effect going on there, i made big planks because i wanted something massive but i guess the nails are kinda tricking my eye into thinking that it's an higher res object than the rest of the world which now looks (even more) weak. I think i should get rid of the nails, i'll try that tomorrow. (I still think it's more detailed than anything else i did on the world though so it might not be enough)

I finally have my player targeting system working :



And i can now heal with it.

I'm not really good at daily updates but i'll try to do better next week.

What has been done :

- ADDED screenshaking \o/
- ADDED spawn/win zones
- ADDED a *proper* event manager
- IMPROVED netcode : better lag compensation and handles the charge better
- IMPROVED my entity manager (i'm using an entity / component architecture)
- IMPROVED my network loop which was eating some events
- FIXED bugs related to tower building
- FIXED collision tunneling

I also refactored A LOT of stuff, my code is getting cleaner that's good.

Here a few GIFs to make your mobile device crash :
Edit : Ok maybe your computer as well actually.









I'm drawing my map tiles and designing the map on PyxelEdit which is a really neat software. I'm using GraphicsGale for non-static content as players, projectiles...

Thank you \o/



Those are banners, which are used to upgrade your towers when brought back to your base.

I fixed a bunch of stuff as well but i'm not sure it's relevant to list them here but in case you can check this out on my tumblr here :

I kinda experimented a mechanic where everything comes frome one single source :



But i thought it didn't fit the game much, more about it here : http://berserkrgangr.tumblr.com/post/53307526971/energy-mechanics

Below a simple visual feedback on skills selection.

Great, thanks :]

That's my second take at the energy mechanics



You can now exchange part of your energy with some of your team mates, helping solve dead-end situations where the healer hasn't enough energy to save you.

That's a mechanic i'm curious to try in the next playtest soon !

Fixed some bugs related to networking, still working on a cleaner network loop.

Worked with some pixel fonts. Had this annoying blur effect for no apparent reason.



I just disabled anti-aliasing for now



I made a new ability  Ninja



  • FIXED a bug where you could attack yourself :3
  • FIXED tower health bars
  • FIXED the charge not playing well with the network corrections
  • FIXED tooltip positions
  • FIXED my circular buffer, again; i will probably break it later...
  • FIXED a bug where high positions deltas wouldn't make the player move
  • REVAMPED the energy system
  • ADDED tooltip descriptions & colors

I tweaked a lot of balancing parameters, added some new skills and fixed some bugs to prepare for a playtest. It was last week-end and i failed miserably. Durr...?

I'm now coding some dumb bots in order to stress the server and be more prepared for the next playtest.

  • ADDED new font for tooltips
  • ADDED a few sounds for skills
  • ADDED visual feedback for for the heal tower (previous gif)
  • ADDED input box for nicknames

  • CHANGED now a player disconnection will also destroy its tower right away (for now)
  • CHANGED font for health text
  • TWEAKED a lot of variables related to skills, dmg, range…
  • FIXED circular frame buffer
  • FIXED charge, removed the lag compensation, I now let net corrections handle it, more reliable for now
  • FIXED message sending netrate
  • FIXED blur with pixel fonts
  • FIXED the server ending the instance when one team is disconnected
  • FIXED banners positions
  • FIXED a bug when dying while carrying a banner
  • FIXED banner attach/detach client-side
  • FIXED mask & hitbox for towers
  • FIXED collision to prevent tunneling, probably still buggy
  • FIXED a bug where towers won’t drop after player death
  • FIXED towers, now behaving like players hence attackables again
  • FIXED behaviour of the pushing line when towers are dropped, destroyed and moved around
  • FIXED tower ray not being triggered and crashing when a player disconnected
  • FIXED tower healthbars images
  • FIXED entity destroy preventing networks messages to be sent
  • FIXED a bunch of fonts
  • FIXED a bug where destroying objects wouldn’t go through the internet pipes in every cases
  • FIXED a bug where actions were not blocked when energy is too low
  • FIXED a bug where actions not in range would still fire
  • FIXED out of sight projectiles being destroyed within wrong limits
  • FIXED a bug where towers would auto regenerate
  • FIXED nicknames not showing up in chat
