Doing "Rogue Spelunky"

[Slash]

Hey Slashie were you thinking something on the lines of a top down zelda style game or sticking with the jumper style of Spelunky but adding tons and tons of pazzaz?

I was thinking more on keeping the jumper style, just changing the theme to classic rogue, adding monster zoos, hunger limit, all that

But anyway here is Spelunky with a little sword replacing the whip. Kinda neat I guess. You can put any type of weapon on him you want. Great big battle axe might be fun. Here is the modded .exe.

I got a lot of errors on start up, but after ignoring all of them I could give it a look. Interesting

The next step would be replacing the sprite with a rogue

So, I think it'd go like this:
* Implementing Hunger
* Implementing rogue monsters (Some are already there)
* Implement Amulet of yendor
* Going back to the surface

  Crap sorry about all the errors. You'd need to run it in the same directory as your other spelunky 1.1 executable. It needs the sound files and what not I think. Next time I will zip it all up together.
  I have been messing around with making the character into a ninjalike rogue guy. Kind of a fun project. Need to play Spelunky a bit more to get the feel of it before I start fiddling with the code. It's such a difficult game. Need to get my gamepad out I guess.
  Swapping out sprites isn't too difficult with gamemaker though. Keeping the sprite style consistent will be the challenge.
  Rogue is a good starting point for adding things. And what you asking for isn't even that much work...in theory
