7DRLs / Combat Chess (7DRL 2015 success)

« on: March 07, 2015, 07:02:56 AM »

Or rather "Much combat, little chess", but that name would be a bit too long for my taste.

But let's get to the point. This is going to be an arena fighting game in which you use chess moves to move your party and attack enemies. I plan to have 4 available player classes, each with 3 weapons switchable in between fights. It's going to be entirely deterministic too, just like chess are and roguelikes aren't. I'm also going to try to put more work into polishing the game, because that's what my last 7DRL lacked.
It'll be made using C# and XNA just like last time, but maybe I'll try porting it to SDL using FNA.

Good luck to all other participants!

It's a success! You can download the game here:

7DRLs / The Mana Well - 7DRL 2014 - Finished

« on: March 08, 2014, 08:10:50 AM »

You're an elemental summoned by a wizard who wants you to get to the Mana Well for some yet unspecified reason. As you're made of pure magic, there will be only one resource to manage.

I'll be writing the game in C# using XNA (that's because I have a bit of experience with it so I can jump right in and start coding). I thought about using a console emulator I'm writing, but decided against it because it's pretty much unfinished.
As for the gameplay, I plan to use one resource for everything and it will be focused on magic, so casting spells, buying new ones and taking damage will deplete the same resource.

It's finished!
