Cheers, it's weird how adding melee and a jumping spider makes the game suddenly feel ... alive.

It definitely looks more alive (and fun) to me now that it has an enemy!

Are spiders only going to be able to jump? I think if they had a nice crawly animation they would look even creepier. Like, if they would just sit there for a while but then suddenly decide to start running toward you.

Grats on getting combat in! It's looking great!  Anything special planned in terms of enemies? |

The spider is just a placeholder atm. I'll be designing all the enemies at some stage, but there will definitely be spiders of some sort that leave sticky spider webs around, drop from ceilings (ala Spelunky), and walk around as well as jump.  About the development: the combat has taken a while to add, but now it's all fairly simple stuff to implement within the game engine. The build after next will contain actual content, which I've been delaying until I had all the fundamental features down. @jonhki I've got a few ideas for enemies. I want to try to avoid the normal rogeulike tropes, but otoh I do like a good skeleton, spider, or bat. One idea that I don't think I've mentioned in this thread, is I want each enemy to be somewhat unique. For example, you might encounter a room full of skeletons, but each will be slightly different in terms of speed, health, etc., some may have special properties (e.g., teleporting, flammable, ...), and some may have different items or armour. The degree to which this is realised just depends on the time I have.  (e.g., It would be nice to have an AI that can give strategies to enemies based on what properties/items they have.) @tcnd Yeah, I remember getting 10k views, it was a great day. |

I agree that more unique enemies related to the moon theme if possible would be good. |

NANANANANANANANANANANANANANANANAN SPIDER MAN! (spider man? No your stupid, this is Batman's song [sigh]. Spider man's song is : SPIDERMAN, SPIDERMAN, DOES WHATEVER A SPIDER CAN...) Oh, ok  snip
Yo collision all mass'ed up bruh. Yeah, what's wrong with it? Isn't it Box2d? I thought that kind of problems didn't happen on Box2d, at least if you're not doing thing the wrong way (like making a super huge or tiny object). |

Moonman's perpetual grin seems really unnerving when he's standing a couple of meters from what could only be described as a fuckton of spiders.

Update: I've uploaded version 0.3! This is the last of the tech demo builds. From the next build onwards, moonman will be an actual game. Download moonman 0.3 (windows only)I appreciate any and all bug reports or funny behaviours. Please refer to the readme.txt for instructions and keymappings. There are keys to spawn spiders, give yourself lots of loot, etc. The bad news is that I'm taking a month long hiatus on moonman, in order to get my ios game finished and published. The good news is that once that's finished I'll be spending much more time on moonman, sprinting towards releasing the first commerical version in June/July. Exciting and busy times! As always, thanks for reading.
Changelog for 0.3
-----------------
heaps of refactoring!
stalactite block
ctrl+click is right-click on mac, so removed water click function

inpenetrable blocks on border
disabled block tinting
draw black rects for border chunks

MAJOR: removed cegui
refactored function calls into game events, e.g., EV_SWAP_ITEMS

MAJOR: can mine + place background blocks (called "walls") The hammer is used
to mine walls.
Added minimum damage threshold to blocks (so we cant mine diamond with our hands!)

destroyed. Also vines, stalactites, etc.

Do the little spiders ever grow up? The super pickaxe was great at everything, I love how it was even the best weapon because it could kill whole groups of spiders in one swing. But not even the super pickaxe could stop the spiders when I was holding down U.  I found some bugs when I pressed the Y and U keys. |

@tcng Hey dude, i just spent 30 mins trying to compile moonman on mac, but i couldn't get it working. seems like the latest sfml update broke something somewhere, and i can't be stuffed messing around with it right now. It's 8am and I'm about to start other work. I know it's not optimal, but be rest assured that moonman will be released on both pc and mac, so you'll get to play it someday. : )
@pixelulsar thx for testing it! in the real game there will only ever be a few entities on screen at a time, and probably a max of like 20. moreover, the computer will be able to spawn them so they don't overlap like that. but thanks for stress testing it. and no, the little spiders don't grow into big ones, but that's an awesome idea, that i'm going to steal. ; )
