Traditional Roguelikes (Turn Based) / Hokuto No Rogue v0.7.0 released!
« on: August 08, 2024, 07:36:44 AM »
Hello everyone,
12 years after the last release, we have decided to release a new version of Hokuto no Rogue.
You can download it from: http://hokuto-no-rogue.sourceforge.net/
There are two links available for downloading this version: the first is platform independent and more 'lightweight' but you need to download and configure the correct version of Java; the second is more 'heavyweight,' specific for Windows x64 systems, and includes Java, requiring no configuration.
In the game's archive, there is a file called 'Letter to the players' which briefly explains why we have resumed working on this project.
Here is the changelog:
ver. 0.7.0 (8/8/2024)
- The game core has been completely rewritten
- All character animations have been removed (yes I know, but I have neither the skills nor the tools to handle them)
- The use of the mouse has been introduced
- Combat schools and attacks have been revised
- Is it possible to change the resolution of the game and use it full-screen (desktop resolution)
- Is it possible to start the game on an external screen (at the moment only by manually editing the properties file)
- It is possible to change the movement speed of the characters
- In the list of items that can be taken, better armor than those worn is displayed in green and worse armor in red
- Added "exit building" action (right click on the stairs going down)
- Added "ask to follow/ask to leave" actions (right click on non-hostile characters)
- Added Raoh
- Added Heart
- Added Kenshiro's story mode (work in progress)
- Added "Revenge" main quest for Kenshiro's story mode
- Added "Free roaming" mode
- Added game logs files
- Added "Paypal donation" menu entry (if you like the game and want to offer us a coffee)
Enjoy!
