My current go-to pet project is [dungeon](https://github.com/tollyx/dungeon), a
|
|
roguelike which is currently pretty incomplete and basic, but I think I've
|
|
gotten far enough to start showing it off a bit more.
|
|
|
|
It's a roguelike with your usual fantasy-setting (for now, anyway)
|
|
and mechanically it's going to be pretty typical as well. Eventually though,
|
|
I'm planning on implementing some kind of bodypart system where potions, food,
|
|
traps, enemy attacks and so on can transform your character, giving you both
|
|
positive and negative effects.
|
|
|
|
Also, Lua scripting. I want as much as possible outside the main game engine be
|
|
scriptable in Lua. Which means items, status effects, skills, traps, actors and
|
|
whatever else that might be fun to have easily modifiable. I'm also using Lua
|
|
for basic data loading but that's just because I'm lazy and why the hell not
|
|
when Lua is already implemented.
|
|
|
|
The main things that are currently missing are:
|
|
|
|
- Menus
|
|
- In-game UI (including a log)
|
|
- Items (with lua-scripted effects)
|
|
- Loading enemies from data
|
|
|
|
After those and a bit more content I'll be implementing whatever cool ideas that
|
|
I come up with.
|
|
|
|
I'm mainly making it for learning purposes (and for fun), trying out new things
|
|
as I go. That lack of planning combined with not actually spending too much
|
|
time on it means that progress is slow. The fact that I find myself rewriting
|
|
things quite often due to the mentioned lack of planning doesn't help much,
|
|
either.
|
|
|
|
I'll try to write blog posts about whatever in the game that might be
|
|
interesting for others, but it will probably take a while before they pop up as
|
|
the game is currently pretty basic and will stay so for a while longer.
