p-progress?

This networking stuff is hard

Local multiplayer and controller support (mostly) works. Going to be working on online next

Equipment and inventory

Working on some backend progress lately so not much visual progress. But here’s a triceratops mage.

New map generation

Adding some new bosses and a map system (though at the moment levels are so small you don’t need a map, might change soon)

Been working on map generation lately. Different areas use different generators now so dungeons look dungeony and caverns are caverny.

p-pls play and gib feedback

Also different levels now have different tilesets and colours as well as different enemy types. The enemies all act the same though so will be working on them next.

Changed the UI a bit, weapon effects are now represented by icons instead of text to make it easier to see at a glance, and the health/mana bar are simplified. Probably gonna be sticking to monochome but added a few more shades. Colours change depending on the level too.

Making a mini-Dwarf Fortress clone for Ludum Dare. Elves block each other’s movement and get grumpy when they bump into each other, and too many angry elves can lead to a riot.

Just got back from Japan, thought I’d be able to work on this a bit when I was over there but my laptop decided to break day 1. Basic mechanics are in though, guns have randomised effects and you can combine them together to make better ones. p-pls giv it a try and let me know what u think...

Going to cut out the magic stuff for now and make a spooki game for halloween. Need to find a better font for my UI...

Looks like the judging for Ludum Dare is finally up, so here's my entry: https://ldjam.com/events/ludum-dare/38/hivemind-holiday I originally wanted to make a game where you had to chase the other campers away so you could enjoy your holiday alone, a bit like a reverse Animal Crossing. Added a talking function and linked it up to the old chatterbot I used for the waifu jam, so you could talk to the npcs and find out what they like and dislike. Unfortunately when I went to set up some more bots, they didn't work properly, and I ran out of time to finish my original idea. But the basics all work, so you can walk around and chat to the chatterbot. Not terribly interesting but basic game is better than no game
