v1.0.7 

Hello again.

This past year I’ve been convalescing. I had put myself in a position where I was receiving a lot of advice. The result was that I was patronised to a pulp. Too much advice makes you feel like no one likes you for what you are. So it was harder than usual to be around people. Tabletop roleplaying games has been a big part of my recovery. It reminded me I’ve my own roleplaying game to finish.

I can hear my old PC from where I sit typing this on my Mac. Whirring away like some small hovercraft. I can’t compile Flash on the Mac - the toolchain is a mess. So I’ve been sitting on my bed after heaving several kilos of Asus on to my lap before debug, debug and debug. But here we are, ever so slightly more stable. So what’s new?

-Various serious bugs have been fixed.
-Added an option to turn off screenshake in settings.
-Added option to select any of Nathan Gallardo’s excellent music to listen to from the soundtrack
-Weapons now have Slash, Pierce or Crush effects. Slash weapons allow the a chance to pass through an enemy when you hit them. Pierce weapons can do the same. Crush is sort of an added knockback effect. I added these to emphasise Red Rogue’s focus on blocked paths. Other roguelikes are often about avoiding conflict, whereas in mine it’s impossible to do so.
-Horrors spawn as the level is explored. The last version rewarded Scrubbing - tediously scraping the entire level clean of content. It’s not that I felt this should be punished. It just wasn’t challenging - I felt the dungeon should at least fight back against you mastering it.
-Numerous extra bits of code to make the Android tablet version work were added. Your mileage may vary on these - I’m afraid I’ve done the bare minimum for Android but may revisit it after I’ve had ample feedback.
-Changed gender of vampire to female. Even though the main character is a lady, the roster of characters is still a sausage party. Game worlds feel artificial enough without depriving them of women.
-Added a new bonus weapon: The Sarkeesian. When you attack a male monster with it, it gets transformed into a female monster… For better or worse I cast Red as a woman because I was bored of casting men in the lead role. So I feel like that’s a thing, that she was a woman for the sake of being a woman. I believe it was a positive change, even though gender for gender’s sake is not a compliment. As this is a part of Red’s identity, you can now do what some people fear will happen to all videogames: throw a feminist icon around to take away all the boy’s willies.

I hope you all have fun with the latest version. Above all, I hope it doesn’t crash.

Really cool. Was just watching Game HUnters video on it the other day and got back into it myself. was also thinking it work work well on android.

I checked out the android version and it does work pretty well. Swipe controls are pretty good. Would just be nice if the menus had touch control as well instead of using swipe and if it were possible to zoom in a bit. The game is pretty small on a phone. Still a pretty good port though.

Nice update.

Been really enjoying the android version. The only other thing needed, I think, besides the couple things I mentioned before, is that the game needs a way to properly exit the game.

I hope the dev read the posts and continues to fine tune it and others give him feedback.

Also found a bug in the android version. A bug where the menu is no longer accessible. I can still move the character, enter and exit the menu, but it can't be navigated. There appears to be text jumbled behind the menu when this happened. Not sure what caused this unfortunately. Only happened once so far. Using a keyocera hydrolife with android 4.3.
