I've made another release (https://github.com/bprollinson/robotzombieninjawizard/tree/v1.0.5) that adds some startup instructions for finding the hotkey, instructions and escape menus. The game also tells you which hotkeys to use when discussion menus on individual instructions pages.

Thanks for the feedback.

Samildanach,

Thanks for the feedback. Is the vertically spacing better in this version? https://github.com/bprollinson/robotzombieninjawizard/blob/v1.0.0/RobotZombieNinjaWizard.jar

I had pulled it in to be tighter, but I might need to expand it a bit more.

Regarding the menus, if you hit 'h' in-game, it brings you to the hotkeys menu. I can look at showing a message related to that on-screen if you think it would make things more intuitive. Also, I can add specific hotkeys to the instructions.

Regarding the menus, did you have trouble figuring out how to use the escape key to get back to the game? I'm curious to know if an on-screen prompt for that would also be useful. I'm looking forward to making the interface a bit more intuitive so that players have a better experience.

Thanks. I just did an update, creating version 1.0.1 with tighter spacing for a better user experience. I'll be looking into some other UI improvements shortly.

Gornova,

Thanks for trying it out.

I can look at reducing the spacing. Right now, the game uses the text grid to do both the menus and the map - I can look at pulling it in a bit tighter - it should still work in both contexts.

Regarding the background, are you trying to get better contrast between a room and the outside area?

Hi all,

I am a big fan of the roguelike genre and created an experimental game in my free time called Robot Zombie Ninja Wizard. In this game, you play as a character of one of the four mentioned classes and traverse a dungeon, battling enemies, advancing your character and collecting loot.

I'm currently looking for beta testers, and any level of feedback on the game's playability and balance.

More info can be found here: https://www.facebook.com/robotzombieninjawizard/ and the game can be run via the JAR file here: https://github.com/bprollinson/robotzombieninjawizard/
