Thank you Getter and thank you Slash. We are already working on the next release, which will include several improvements and the story arc of the Fang Clan (for those familiar with the manga/anime). Here's a preview of the clan members and Kemada.

Traditional Roguelikes (Turn Based) / Re: New roguelike: BOSS (v3.1)

« Last post by PlunderBunny on September 09, 2024, 09:46:20 PM »

Version 3.1 of BOSS is now available for Windows, Linux, and macOS from the BOSS home page: https://80.style/#/plunderbunny/boss/introduction.

This is a minor update with only a few new features:

• Large monsters - some monsters can occupy more than one square on the map. I hope this will lead to more interesting, tactical gameplay.
• Look around command - pressing the L key (i.e. shift and the letter l) allows the player to pan the map around the sewer.
• Segmented high score display option - the high score table can be styled like an old-fashioned segmented display (think of the very early calculators prior to LCD screens). This replaces the leaderboard display option.
• On Linux only, the folder containing the options for the game (a sub-folder in the user's home folder) is now invisible by default for all new installations. For an existing installation, you can rename the folder from "Boss" to ".boss" (note the leading period and the lower-case 'b') and it will retain your options and make the folder invisible. Conversely, if you prefer to have the folder visible, you can rename the folder to be "Boss".

Important note: Save games from version 3.0 are not compatible with version 3.1 - if you have a version 3.0 game in progress, you should finish it before installing version 3.1. All other support files (high-scores, settings, and filters) are compatible.

To benefit from Hruth's diagonal movement on the Android interface, try using multi-touch gestures or a Bluetooth controller. For more detailed advice, you might find better guidance on the game’s official forums or Reddit.

Traditional Roguelikes (Turn-based) / Re: Start at the deepest level

« Last post by strandsnyt on August 28, 2024, 03:13:04 AM »

I remember that Steamband start you on the bottom level, but in the sense of "inverted model", ie. monsters get harder and harder towards the surface. Starting on the hardest level is certainly an interesting idea. The player would probably have to start out with a lot of power that dwindle with time (maybe relying on consumables a lot, starting with a full inventory with hardly any way to get more, or some kind of exhaustion clock).

As always,
Minotauros

Thanks so much for sharing that.

Hruth's ability to move diagonally can be beneficial in avoiding obstacles and navigating the game more efficiently. On touch devices like Android phones or tablets, precise diagonal movements can sometimes be challenging due to the nature of touch controls.
Custom Controls: Some Android ports or emulators allow for customization of controls. If you're using a specific emulator or port, check if there are options to configure or map controls more precisely to accommodate diagonal movements.
Overlay Controls: You might be able to use overlay control apps that allow for more precise touch input. These apps can sometimes enhance your control experience by offering a virtual joystick or additional control schemes.
