What is preventing you from working on it outside of 7drl week? I love the concept...

I would definitely play it. I love sailing, even though IRL the difficulties of living on a yacht get to me after about a week.

Traditional Roguelikes (Turn Based) / Re: The Veins of the Earth BETA 12!

Tick 'show incompatible' and it'll show up. I don't know why T-Engine thinks it's incompatible - I'm running the module on the very same T-Engine version in another folder with no complaints from the game.

Early Dev / Re: The Veins of the Earth development feedback BETA 11.5
« on: March 04, 2016, 01:31:59 PM »
The trainer option, which has been in the game for quite some time, is finally playable! (Not completely as I envisioned it, a few rough spots to polish, but still!)

This is amazing! I'm using free 32x32 tiles in my own roguelike, but your chairs and barrels, for instance, blow those out of the water!
As for pricing, I suggest a free version (sans animations) and a paid version, between 5 and 15 dollars, with animations.

I have added some logging to skill points to verify it works as intended. It does.
To prevent player confusion, I made two important changes.
Level up screen reminds you to use the class points first
Backgrounds no longer affect your skill points - all they do is give you a free +2/+2 skill bonus feat

Programming / Re: Simple, stable, energy system
« on: February 29, 2016, 01:43:28 PM »Found an alternative, and in many cases much improved, solution: https://www.reddit.com/r/roguelikedev/comments/484gb2/turnkeeping_issues_with_energy_and_fatigue_systems/d0h3qmb
There are some other solutions discussed in that thread but Kodiologist's approach as used in Rogue TV seems to be the best. If anyone is interested in a Python adaption of the idea or wants an explanation of how to adapt an energy system to an abstract timed system, post a reply and I'll do my best to help.
Hope this helps,
Brian aka Omnivore
I can't recall what programming language Kodiologist uses. I like that approach, it's really good and I think I'll try my hand at a Lua adaptation.

I've done some updating for 1.4.0 - quite a few things broke. Among the good news, I no longer have to maintain the tweaked_ui, which was taking up quite a lot of c&p code.
The item generation is now much more robust, allowing for instance to generate items with specified egos.
My net's flakiness is the main thing preventing beta 12 from being out.
In other news, I've done a ton of bugfixes and UI improvements, and content additions.

Once I pick the option, yes, it does keep it. However, on first launch after re-downloading, getting to the option takes quite some time. (Launch game, wait, click start new game, wait some more...)

Also, some more feedback:
1) the game defaults to full screen. I don't like it, but to change it, I need to start/load a game. No ability to change options from main menu.
2) the game seems to have performance problems (long loading/starting game) on a 4 GB RAM i5 laptop. Gameplay is almost smooth except for creating new levels - and if the game loses focus (i.e. I switch to FF), it starts lagging again.
