So I apologize for not really having posted anything recently. There’s been some work going on, but a lot of it has been kind of behind the scenes (probably worth a post, might be of interest to other game dev people), and honestly, there hasn’t been THAT much work done, either. […]
Not only will Possession 2 feature greater variety in its regular levels, but there will also be several “special levels” which you will sometimes visit instead of a regular level. The special levels are themed, featuring special tiles and design, and creatures that fit the theme. More interestingly, they usually […]
Happy New Year! It’s been a while since I’ve posted. Writing devlog posts just kind of fell behind over the holidays, but work has continued. Today I’m going to talk about the levels. Possession 1 had just one level generator. It worked pretty well, and made pretty good-looking caves, but […]
I’ve made some improvements to the creature AI, using a lot of the information from this article as a starting point. Different creatures now behave in different ways…most still act like they used to, blindly charging at you and attacking you. But they can also be (and become) hostile to […]
As I mentioned earlier, I have someone working on graphics for the game, and hopefully I’ll be seeing what he’s done sometime this weekend. For the time being, though, I’ve made some quick little pixelly sprites on my own, to test the graphics code with (and also to make screenshots […]
For the last week, I’ve been taking part in the “7-Day Roguelike Competition,” which involves creating a new game in 7 days. Today’s the last day, and I’m done! In case you (somehow) missed my earlier (incessant) posts about it, in this game you play as a ghost escaped from […]
For more information on Possession, you can view my Day 0 Post. Days 5 and 6 were mostly content, but I didn’t get much done in general because of work. I had today off, though, and I’ve been working on it all day, and… It’s basically done. I’m kind of stunned. […]
Didn’t get much done today. My phone didn’t change for DST, so I ended up waking up at used to be my normal waking time, which was now an hour later, and I had to be at work earlier than usual. I did make it so that spells can be […]
It’s actually currently day 2, but I didn’t get this post finished until today so I’m posting it now. Official Start time: 2:00 PM, March 9 Official End Time: 3:00 PM, March 16 (Later because of DST) Since this is day 1, it made sense to me to focus today […]
I am going to be taking part in the 2013 7-Day Roguelike Challenge. Starting tomorrow, I will have 7 days to create a brand-new Roguelike game. I’ll be posting my progress on the main site for the challenge, 7drl.org, but I’ll also be crossposting here. My idea is fairly simple: you play […]
