Ash of Time

[wasternne]

Hi all.
I'm new here. Currently I'm trying to write a roguelike.
I't site is http://sites.google.com/site/wasternne/ash-of-time/english; there you can download the first playable version or view screenshots.
Right now there is no story (and button "New" not working in most cases). But you can play "test mode", where the game generates two levels of dungeon and allows you to play with it.

I implemented to this moment:
- inventory system (one item can use several body parts, one limb can use several items)
- combat system (you can block, parry, dodge incoming attacks or just run away)
- dungeon level generation (theoretically, it must support almost any size of level, but game uses only 100*100)
- dialog system (you can see it in tutorial - oh, yes, there is tutorial ^_^)

Well, also I implemented very complex and flexible console window system for Java (like nCurses, but with formatted texts, lists, scrollable areas, XML-described screens etc.), but I don't think that you are really interested in it ^_^.

There is some funny tactics possibilities with using torches, sneak and such, especially if you use warcries (warcry is action that makes much noise causing friends and enemies to come to your current position).

All feedback is welcome. And, please, excuse me for my terrible English - I don't speak it, but I try =).

Welcome to Roguetemple wasternne!    Hope you enjoy yourself here as it is an excellent place to steer future fans of your game for discussion, as well as planning things in development for the future.

I do think there would be interest in your technical decisions and accomplishments thus far in the Development forum especially---as that is where people who understand such things like to post.  Though, I also post there too sometimes.  

Oh, and to add to my email, of course I would be willing to get the ball rolling on improving the read of the English text for this tutorial and such...just send along the .txt files or whatever at your leisure and I will clean up some things like in these first few screenshots, then you can update them.   I favor rapid progress when possible!   


Glad to help!
