Lo of the Dark

Genre: dungeon crawler/RPG

The story
You are a travelling rogue, who manage to obtain an old amulet, which can be a key to a treasure. It is rumored to be buried somewhere deep below an ancient outpost of long gone Order. So you get to the outpost and venture into the depths of its catacombs.

Gameplay
tile-based dungeon crawler with card-based random encounter fights.

Rules of the Dungeon:
1) The longer you stay on same level - the harder enemies are
2) The deeper you go - the harder enemies are
3) The powerfuler (OMG, does this word even exist?!) you get - yes, the harder enemies are
4) Basically, main problem on each level is to find a door to the next level AND to grab as much loot as possible

Character sheet

Stat	Skill	Affects
Strength	Sword	Effect of Sword spells, any direct damage
Intelligence	Magic	Effect of Magic spells, amount of Mana Points
Speed	Bow	Effect of Bow spells, chances to escape from fight, random damage reduction
Endurance	Armor	Effect of Armor spells, reduction of any direct damage, HP amount

- On your first level you get 10 points to spend, every next level adds 4 points.
- Skills grow when you use them, the higher skill is, the lower chances of growth
- After each levelup you get free spell
- Every spell you get (from levelup or elsewhere) tend to be of your main skill (ATM there's too few spells for this effect to really matter)
- Your mana regenerates in-battle when you skip turn on random amounts based off Intelligence
- After battle you're auto-restored
- One save slot for all!
- Enemies appear depending on your level and level of dungeon you are in

Controls
WASD/Arrows to move
Space to interact or use
TAB to open character sheet
Esc for menu
M for overhead view

 
 
 

WARNING 1! This game is in rather early phase of development. Some art used is stolen directly from Google Image Search and will be replaced, as well as most models, graphics and levels
WARNING 2! When creating new game - make sure to close character sheet with "Close" button instead of TAB!
WARNING 3! Er... Welll.... You are warned!

Required software:
- OpenAL (included into package, at <gamefolder>\required_software\oalinst.exe), but should work without need to install this package

Current version - 0.12.7.4901
Website: hsigames.in.ua

Feedback needed!
What feedback do I really need - while, in fact, any feedback is greatly appreciated? I need to know how stable or unstable the game is. How comfortable or uncomfortable the UI and controls are? How does the gameplay of current iteration flows? What features you think are needed to improve the game?

nVidia users! Your feedback is especially needed. There were problems with GLScene texture processing on latest drivers (347.xx); this problem should be solved in current update (thanks to guys from GLScene forums), but this requires checking for I have no possibility to test on nVidia hardware. Thanks!

Kinda big update here )

Version 0.1.0.1394.
- New character 'doll' construction principle
- - ISSUE: there are only temporary graphics for female characters, male character graphics are too far from being done, so male chars will look broken on charscreen
- Equippable weapons: now items can be assigned as a bow or a sword, and only one item of each type will affect character stats. All bows and swords will be displayed on character doll.
- OpenAL installer (<gamefolder>\Win32\Debug\required_software\oalinst.exe) included into package due to issues, caused by absense of openal on some PCs
- New item for level one - Wizard's Blade (+3 int). It's hidden
- Now the game has an installer

[ActionGamemaster]

The graphics are all horrible. I thought that the wolf was just one bad screenshot, but no, the whole game's like that.

The UI is incomprehensible. My character barely moved at the start of the game, and then some goblin popped up, which almost killed me. The only adequate thing I could do was move around and randomly choose attacks. The game starts with the inventory screen. Why? The tutorial is nonexistent. There were some popups, but I accidentally skipped them. Tutorials that just give you a lot of text are bad anyway, nobody reads them. Here's a video that explains what I mean.




The fact that the first ever enemy almost killed me is also a bad sign. I barely step into the game, and the second enemy I encounter kills me? There should be some sort of difficulty curve, or better yet, an easier part of the game for tutorial reasons, instead of the stupid pop-ups with some text inside.

[Rastrelly]

There should be some sort of difficulty curve, or better yet, an easier part of the game for tutorial reasons, instead of the stupid pop-ups with some text inside.

This game is supposed to be unfairly hard. But when you will start picking up basic tactical stuff and will get more cards in your spellbook, you'll be able to build combinations of effectively supporting each other cards and you'll be able to as effectively lower incoming damage and negate enemy effects. Basically, in early game all you have is two weak kicks and one harder kick - what to use then? All cards have text on them for a reason - they indicate what will they do if you'll use them.

There will be no 'easier tutorial part' and the game gets more and more difficult during actual gameplay. All monsters are balanced the way each of them can kill you. On the other hand there will be an extended manual. This all is based off the concept I'm aiming at. Also I will definitely make an always accessible 'tutorial screen' for player to get access to all tools he has in possession at the moment.

This all is supposed to resemble old-school Wizardry-ish RPGs where a pack of bats could devastate your whole party due to bad luck AND combined with unintuitive puzzles to solve in order to proceed. Also, gamers who like this stuff are my actual target audience.

The game starts with the inventory screen. Why?

For player to spend initial 10 skillpoints?

The UI is incomprehensible.

Well, it actually will be improved a bit, but I doubt that for too much. Well, at least there will be help system. In fact, after getting used to this UI is not as bad as you'd think. But, yea, it is messy as hell

The graphics are all horrible.

Alas. I'm trying to improve them, but I doubt there'll be much progress in that direction. Could you please expand your statement? What's the worst part - my drawing style, texturing, or everything is SO horrible it's impossible to tell elements apart? ^__^

[ActionGamemaster]

"This all is supposed to resemble old-school Wizardry-ish RPGs where a pack of bats could devastate your whole party due to bad luck AND combined with unintuitive puzzles to solve in order to proceed. Also, gamers who like this stuff are my actual target audience."
You're thinking about old-school Wizardry-ish RPGs the wrong way. NOBODY liked them because they had unintuitive puzzles. Nobody liked them because they didn't teach the player anything about their design. Nobody liked them because the game can cheat and RNG screw them. All of that are tricks designers used back then to prolong the playtime in the most unfun way. The industry has already went past that. People like these old games because of how immersive they can be, even if they had ASCII-level graphics (in fact, I think that this low level of graphics could improve a game's immersion, because people could see the game the way they imagine it, not the way the artists imagined them). People like them because of the actual depth they have, the fun mechanics they have. People still play Dwarf Fortress because of its depth, it's a very old RPG Rogue-like, yet, it has much less "bullshit" mechanics, and even if something unfair happens to the player, it's hilarious, which softens the blow and makes the game fun trying to amend that loss while laughing at that dwarf leaping straight into magma thinking his iron armor will protect him.
"There will be no 'easier tutorial part' and the game gets more and more difficult during actual gameplay." "On the other hand there will be an extended manual."
"Well, that's a bummer. So, to actually know how to play the game, I have to read instead of letting the game teach me by doing rather than showing? I'd rather go play some other hardcore games that actually teach me how to play the game better than this." Is what 99% of players will think when they play the game or see sentences like that. And that's a lot of players. Right now, there's no thing that makes me want to play the game beforehand, like, a friend was talking to me for hours about how cool this game is and got me hyped, or I saw a great trailer for this game and it got me hyped. So I've got absolutely no reason to go through text just to play a video game I don't even know. I'd rather go play some FTL or Dwarf Fortress, and not because the game's bad, but because the first 5 minutes of it are browsing through the manual, hoping I would grasp enough information in my head. And this game might be good, and true the hardcore old school games. See, here's another teaching flop you made.

"The game starts with the inventory screen. Why?
For player to spend initial 10 skill points?"
What skill points? There are skill points in this game? I could spend or use? This inventory was literally the first thing I saw after pressing "New Game". I'm not a fucking wizard to know that.

Alas. I'm trying to improve them, but I doubt there'll be much progress in that direction. Could you please expand your statement? What's the worst part - my drawing style, texturing, or everything is SO horrible it's impossible to tell elements apart? ^__^
It's not your art style that is bad. It's the fact that everything is very messy, and it's combined with the bad UI to make an impression on the graphics.. I think your screenshot sums up pretty well.
http://funkyimg.com/view/FT7V
A plain copypaste from Google Images. No background removal. Well, it doesn't sum up everything. When I'm walking from place to place, there's stuff on the screen all over the place. Is that a button? Can I press it? Ok, it's a menu I don't understand, let's move on. Oh, if I could. Sometimes the arrow keys don't respond. The sky is lit up with the "texture error" text. The draw distance is weird. I take a step, and suddenly, a fortress appears in front of me. Nay, not a fortress, but... a part of it? And the part that didn't draw is a black texture, and the rest of the fortress is obscured by a rock? The UI itself has a lot of thin text or images, that is still positioned on top of the game. Etcetera. Also, you made a mistranslation in the change log.

The change log is a mess too- first, you say the changes in the visuals, then in the content- as in, new monsters, perks and locations, and then you announce the changes in the visuals again! I suggest making categories for your change logs- Visuals; Bugfixes; Content.

[Rastrelly]

The change log is a mess too

Changelog is crammed from... Er... 12 changelogs, IIRC. I was not actually hoping to get a response after all this time.

Now, on to some disturbing stuff:
1) You mentioned texture error in the sky? Can you post a screenshot? It's odd, I made sure all textures to be in place.
2) Did you get any error messages when launching the game? If you did - could you show them as well? Again, I tested the game on about 10 PC's ATM, and on each of them I did not experience any errors

So, to actually know how to play the game, I have to read instead of letting the game teach me by doing rather than showing?

Let's be serious. How can I show something like effectiveness of any given skill? I made all I could to clearly show - this is a card, it is based on skill <skillname>, so its effectiveness grows when corresponding skill increases. You can find cards randomly in chests or via scripted events in secret places, or via acquiring perks. These are not those kinds of mechanics you can show via gameplay. I did all I can - on level 1 you encounter only weakest enemies, you have limited amount of cards for it to be easier to understand which ones to use when, and it contains main gameplay elements - a key, a door, start and exit. There are 6 keys involved - WASD, Space and Tab. In inventory screen you can see your stats and increase them with "+" buttons that can be seen in each and every game of this kind since I am not even sure when, first Diablo for sure. There are a couple of secrets on second level you nearly HAVE TO stumble - they are placed this way to show you how those secrets may work. Again, difficulty grows gradually, from dumb goblins who are almos impossible to be killed by, you grow up to killing demonic robots, actual demons, undeads and other stuff, which can inflict not only damage, but debuff you and buff themselves. Every RPG fan I'm aiming at cannot be possibly unfamiliar with this approach. And in any case I did all I could to show via gameplay what I could show via gameplay without overblowing scripting system.

Look, here are 3 main screens:
1) Main game screen

2) Character sheet

3) Battle screen

A plain copypaste from Google Images.

I clearly written in the first post thet there are lots of temporary content which will be replaced. Say, Warg you've pointed out currently looks this way (I hope the image will open):

and he has a clear background. I just work on the engine itself much more then on content )

There still are lots of stuff I used as temporary backup, but I am cleaning the game of this stuff with each patch.

I got no errors when launching the game.

About showing something like effectiveness of skills.. You don't have to tell the player anything like that. You don't really have to tell every single piece of info about the game right away. And in this case, it's like discovering type-matchups in Pokemon- you discover and explore them by yourself. Imagine you attacked a bug with a fire attack. It does a super effective. You didn't catch it, but you knew that the Pokemon looked like a bug. And thus, the player himself found out about fire doing extra damage to bugs, all without any text, except that "super effective" text and the player's own logic. You can do that with additional mechanics in your game too. As long as the game shows that you did something that is more effective than regular, the player can learn by himself without any direct text. In the "use certain skill for effectiveness" situation, you can highlight the damage that made most of its damage because of your skill, and highlight damage that was high because of an enemy's weakness. After seeing some damages being highlighted in different colors, players can actually be curious about it and read on the subject.

Well, it wasn't the fact that the warg was copy pasted from Google Images, but... It just sticked out so much, with its white background, which is removable with Photoshop. You should have really just written "Warg" or chose a better picture and it would be better than.. This.

Aye, I get what you're talking about. I was event thinking about something like that. But hell it will be hard to do T__T The problem is universalisation of engine. There are no pre-written enemies, combos or spells - everything is hand-written and interpreted by engine via specific editors. I have those for cards, perks, monsters and items. It's like morrowind construction set - but lamer I'll think on implementing smth like that, but I dunno if my skills will be sufficient...

This is REALLY odd. It's GLScene error, not the one I thought it would be. Hmmm. Maybe some hardware compatibility issues? Are there any other occurrences of this glitch? On other surfaces? Or sky only? And did it appear on level 2 (in central area of the map, where's no ceiling)?

Well, it wasn't the fact that the warg was copy pasted from Google Images, but... It just sticked out so much, with its white background, which is removable with Photoshop. You should have really just written "Warg" or chose a better picture and it would be better than.. This.

Aye, agreed. Well, soon there will be no more THAT bad stuff ) Everything will be hand-drawn to look more or less consistent

[ActionGamemaster]

I can't go to level 2. I fight the first goblin, it dies from me spamming swords and bows. Then it says I get N experience, then the game gets stuck. I can't close the battle menu, I can't move. Then the goblin attacks me (?!), and I die. Happens every time I play the game.

Wow. That's actually real crap And really odd. I mean REALLY. It seems the game "crashes" after the battle ends, and then goes to glitchverse. Which never happened to me O__o I'll see what I can do to fix it. Thanks - you've directed me at a serious issue with the code.

PS Can you share your PC specs? Maybe it's time for me to actually make an LQ texture set...

[ActionGamemaster]

I'm using a MacBook 13 inch, and its specs are:

Processor 1.7 GHz Intel Core i5, 2 cores. It's faster than a normal 1.7x2 GHz processor, since it does more calculations each tick, but the ticks happen rarer.
Memory 4 GB 1333 MHz DDR3
Graphics Intel HD Graphics 3000 384 MB
 OS X 10.9.4

But I'm using an emulator for Windows apps, Parallels Desktop, which has Windows XP. It's emulated, which means the emulation can't bring the full potential of my specs. BTW, is it possible for you to do a Mac wrapper? Maybe the glitches will stop.

Maybe that's the reason... Currently I have capabilities to compile under Windows only - I'm using Delphi XE3 Starter and far from being familiar with cross-platform programming But I'll investigate this.

[debugchicken]

gosh, which game engine is this ? there were A LOT of files haha.

I liked very much the girl sprite. But I chosed a the sword, and it was kinda misplaced on the tab menu.

Well, when finding an enemy you can still rotate the screen in the middle of the battle.

Also I would suggest a full-screen half-alpha black image on the background when entering battle to focus better on the enemy.

Also I didnt understand what was that single card on the left. I thought it was the sword I had equipped but couldnt use it.

Also, I would advice some transitions, called tweens, when using cards:

Cards appearing (alpha or sliding), using (like going to the center of the screen).

Here is a game I made using cards: https://apps.facebook.com/stbattlecards/?fb_source=search&ref=ts&fref=ts

(its in portuguese but I guess you could guess most of it)

See how the cards have tween in every part of the game? This builds semantics and let things more understandable.

Also a interactive battle tutorial would be nice.

You're genius! Thanks! That's a great idea ^^

That's the last card your opponent used. On the right - the las card you used )

Did I say you're genius?! I'll try to add animated card transitions on each player and enemy turn!

Get it from IndieDB as soon as it'll be checked.

OR get it from Google Drive (in this case before playing open ed.cfg and change first line from ru to en)

[Rastrelly]

An new update here. To make the list short:
1) New monsters, levels, spells, perks, items
2) Elements system - now cards, monsters and you can affine to one of 5 Elements which will modify interactions in-battle

4) Additional methods of level decoration - free meshes, able to move and very 90-es looking particle fire
5) Lots of older levels improvements
6) Lots of balance tweaks
7) TONS of changes in the Editor
Lots of bugfixes

The game is moving towards the full levelset - it's now 21 out of 31.

nVidia users! Your feedback is especially needed. There were problems with GLScene texture processing on latest drivers (347.xx); this problem should be solved in current update (thanks to guys from GLScene forums), but this requires checking for I have no possibility to test on nVidia hardware. Thanks!

I hope this update will be at leas interesting. Enjoy!
