YES!       Congrats on making it to this stage, and for the love of all that is @,  keep at this!  I feel much potential to this...   

[Hi]

your errata page is 404
very pretty game for rogue like beta

[getter77]

0.8.2 now exists

Game now uses timers to update display rather than as a response to each action.

A*/B- path finding implemented.

Monster intelligence implemented, and better AI. Certain monster can't equip/carry items, other will hunt out food etc, opening doors etc.

Made all the levels procedurally generated. With a single Labryrinthe level halfway thru.

More "intuitive" interface, including left-mouse-click and drag movement

Host of bugfixes

I will get to work helping out on this very soon, though my times at the moment are very.....rough.

I like the graphical style of the dungeon view in this one. Would be fine if the icons to the left matched that better, at the moment they appear a bit detached.

Very interesting project for sure

Thanks for the feedback..

The icons on the left are "placeholder" graphics, and afaik are the only graphics (apart from the gunpowder barrels) that I haven't made myself, which is probably why they look a little "detached" from the rest of game.

At the moment I am wondering whether the "traditional fantasy" route is the best theme to go, or opt for something a bit different. I have a few ideas, but I want to clean up the code base, before embarking on a new direction.

Incase anyone was bothered I am upto version 0.8.8 which features a whole range of new features since 0.8.2, more monsters, better and more intuitive GUI, multiple LOAD|SAVE files, better creature AI, persistant chests and furniture etc....

I'm having trouble figuring out how moving with a set number of turns works. It's a little weird because I can move so much further during a turn than I can see. It makes me kind of worried to move in any direction at all, because I might be squandering turns heading toward the wrong patch of darkness. I feel paralyzed. All in all I feel like I want shorter turns.

P.S. Extremely stoked about the system's potential. Reminds me a little of Jagged Alliance or Natuk.

Thank jim for the feedback regarding action points, I will try and balance that aspect for the next release, though I wanted to weight the game a little in the players favour, to compensate for "human error", and let people get a "feel" for the game. Though certainly I will incorporate "shorter" turns and see how it affects the gameplay.

Your "extremely stoked" reaction has ensured that I will spend another couple of weeks working on the game code, and graphics.

Every comment, is like manna from heaven...

[edit] sorry wrong thread

[yodhe]

I got to about 80% completion of this project, and decided that I didn't like the generic fantasy setting, as it didn't show off the best features of the game, and wasn't the game I wanted to make.
So I ditch the fantasy setting, (though the last incarnation can be seen at www.onemananimation.com/myrpg ) and have spent the last five months changing to a post-apocalyptic scenario, where you are in one small bunker trying to survive in a decimated town against/or with the other inhabitants.
However I don't think I will be releasing playable versions of this incarnation, until I am much closer to completing it.
