Combat starting to feel like something here. I think maybe bots need to have more time between shots but it does feel like something.
Main weirdness is that weapon switching takes a turn right now which makes it hard to set up perfect shots. May make it instant.

And that's another game wrapped: I just finished A Forest, my #nonviolent tradtional #roguelike. While designing a non-violent roguelike, I might have
accidentally stumbled into interactive fiction.

Changing a ton of stuff at once and it's ... kinda working. Level gen is a mess. There ARE little moments that now start to feel fun / interesting / game-y. But the systems are also pretty baroque and I'm not sure how intelligible I can make it in time for the end of the jam.

I'm prepping for #14drl #roguelike game jam starting in ~10 days. I think I've got the outlines of a game design.
Here's my (mostly incomprehensible beyond page 1) pre-jam design thinking: docs.google.com/document/d/1...
Hit me up if any of this strikes a chord for you, for better or worse!

Day 1 #14drl is done. Here's basic gameplay at this point. You can move around and click on enemies to shoot them.
You can swap weapons with number keys. It takes a turn, though, so don't let enemies get too close before you switch to your knife.
Oh, and watch your ammo and reload when you can!

Making good progress on AOE weapons. This is demonstrating that it properly highlights cells that will be hit by the attack, respecting LOS from the target space.

V1 world generation is in, a simple block-based prefab approach.
Modeling an encounter design idea. You start opening the chest and it takes some turns to unlock, and it activates nearby enemies.

Oh true! I'll keep an eye on them and see how my free time ends up. Had no idea 14drl was a thing, I do love a longer deadline.

Kicking off a game jam today! I'm taking part in the #14drl event. It's a 14 day game jam, focused on "traditional" roguelikes. itch.io/jam/roguetem...
Staying "traditional" means combat, items, and progression -- elements I haven't explored in past games.
Stay tuned! Or mute!
