What are you making?

[june gloom]

That's placeholder art, right?

[Ulukai]

Yes, the character screen is the correct dimensions, but the character screen is the first layer and remains to be more detailed. Hence, MAN_BASE. It'll still be all in a 16-bit art style though, as per the sprites.

At the moment, I need to concentrate on getting the ability to drag items of equipment from the inventory to the character, and have the avatar overlay with individual clothing items. If you ever played UW1 or UW2, I'm aiming for that level of detail on the character screen.

Yakoob, if I'm happy enough with the game it'll be paid for. After all, if people are making money from shite like Candy Crush.. but hey, I'm making this game because it's a game I want to play. I wouldn't be doing it otherwise.

[SubJeff]

Good luck! I'll give it a bash.

[Yakoob]

Ulukai - aah that happened to me with Postmortem, close to release I realized we reached a level of polish I didn't quite except so figure why the heck not and opened the paying option up two weeks before release haha!

On my end, in another episode of AI shenanigans, today I learned what happens when your NPCs don't know how to open doors. Apparently they dropkick them out of the frame O_O

Sell if for $1 or something. If it's good, word of mouth will keep the money trickling in. I'd buy it, just because I like dungeon stuff and £0.60 isn't much risk.

[PigLick]

hell i would buy it for a fiver just because its Ulukai

[Renzatic]

Same here. Throw the game my way, and I'll throw a ton of cash back at you.

[faetal]

Me too, but I was presenting Joe Public's eye view

[PigLick]

caveat - if the game is shit, i expect a full refund!

[Yakoob]

I'm not really into roguelikes but might still get it to support a fellow dev.

On my end, I am starting to reveal more info about my game for those who are curious just initial hopes, so no promises yet.

And today, I got my doors swinging both ways, as well a usable picklock that... picks locks. YAY

[faetal]

Why pick a lock when you can drop-kick the door out of its frame?

[icemann]

Should have left that in. Was awesome .

....

I quit, you're my next game's lead designer

(note to self: need a door-drop-kick achievement)

[PigLick]

haha you should make that a feature!

err in before faetal?

no one ever pays attention to me

[N'Al]

Who is this PigLick guy? Never heard of 'im...

[faetal]

err in before faetal?

I was repeating it in direct response to the lock-picking thing, I did see (and enjoy) your comment

[PigLick]

all good you know im just joking right

[Yakoob]

Oi I saw your comment Pig and it did put a smile of my face. Didnt think of the response until I saw faetal's post like a day later tho

[Yakoob]

So I took a whack at learning myself on Unity lightmapping. Mmmm... adds character.

(Also, you can crouch now. YAY for crouching!)



EDIT: also LOL at the fucked up normals on the wooden table

[PigLick]

read your blog post, this is looking quite interesting, hope you manage to implement what you set out to.

[Yakoob]

Yea me too, I know from experience there's some stuff that will probably end up being cut, but I'm at least trying to lay out the systems for all the features so I have more reason not to ("well I already coded all that in..." )

[SubJeff]

I read the blog too. You're doing some interesting stuff here. Looking forward to how this turns out.

[Yakoob]

This week of gamedev brought the concept of illegal behaviors and suspicion into my game, as well as some graphical tweaks and models!
