congrats!!! I really like it when people make something new instead of a copy of something else with AI. And I think you scoped it well, not going overboard, sticking to a quick dungeon. great!
Found 1 bug I think, when a bat moved on top of a gem, and I attacked, it seemed to take no damage. I kept trying. Only we I moved him off would he die.
No problem. Also, the description could do with a bit clean-up. The who thing about it being a pre-Rogue experience (I mean... what are you really trying to say - because this is a roguelike that does not bare much resemblance to Dungeon), and just the general structure and some of the words scream AI marketing. Just give it your best shot and work this part through yourself I think - tell people what you love about playing it and your absolute favourite parts of it.
Looks super cool. A few things a bit inconsistent with the theme and graphics, and perhaps just a little but of throwing too much (as in features) in that kind of makes it a little confusing to play, but overall a really nice job. Thanks for the demo.
The turn speed really suffers once you get your light really large. Considering how tight your rooms are and the lack of AI for most enemies I'd just stop the light getting more than 1 or 2 larger than the starting amount. Also the scrolling text is a little annoying.
Heya - I've also been making an RL for the C64, and I just wanted to come onver and say that keep up the good work! Its a real struggle with a lot of these things, particularly in a game with lots of things to keep track of and systems in play, so all my best wishes for your continued progress!
I hope the new project is going well! I've made a lot of progress on mine and happy to share some of the results of a lot of work with you, particularly if your new project is still a roguelike.
AMAZING! I am currently building one (no where near as pretty, very much old school) for the c64. I am so impressed by what I can see. Do you have a devlog, or something about how you went about doing it, and the decisions you made?
Sounds super exciting!! You must be a reliant person, always good to have a break but even better to recommit and knuckle into it, you are so close now!
