Void Sanctum is a collaborative effort between previous 7DRL participant Pål Trefall (Rogue Station, Han Yolo) and YouTube Let's Player/reviewer Alan Charlesworth (The Indie Ocean).

The idea is to change the way you interact with the challenges and opponents you'll face - to make it more interesting than just 'bump to attack'. We also want to bring in some influences (not saying what just yet!) from other niche genres of games which we think can make a roguelike a more involving/engaging experience than just steering a symbol around some rooms.

Startup post on 7DRL.org

We're beginning 9th March as day 1 due to life commitments. The game is being developed in Unity 5.

Edit: Void Sanctum is done. It's been a long and short journey, in different ways.

As someone accustomed to sticking things on YouTube I've been recording a little 'first timer 7DRL' vlog.

Day 0 vlog

Day 1 vlog

The foundations are being laid. Tomorrow we'll hammer on with some more gameplay-ish stuff and if I get chance I'll do a little video running through what's there so far.

End of day 3. Tough times. Tech problems and life interruptions have slowed down our already ambitious plans. Still, we're on track to have a playable game by the end of the week, just not as rounded as we wanted it to be.

Screen!

Haha, I didn't see you had started a post here for us, excellent Alan :D

Our Day 2 and 3 report is available here: Day 2 Day 3

Alan is recording daily vlogs of his experience and the progress that we are making. Today he shows off the game for the first time:

I'm very impressed. Really. As can be seen from the screenshots - you combine modern, very esthetic look of the game with the spirit of classic roguelikes. I cannot wait until I can play this game! Wish you luck!

It's a success! We'll upload the game tomorrow morning, too tired to sort that out now!

You will probably have to wait forever to play the version we originally talked about. :P

Well, Version 1.0 is up: http://ptrefall.itch.io/void-sanctum

I actually haven't played the finished version yet! The last build I had was before the dungeons went in.
