Reflector: Laser Defense (itch.io|twitter|blog|github) Roguelike base-building in an hour

I recommend my own game Reflector: Laser Defense but with a big caveat: it is much more puzzle-like and less simulationist than CDDA. Everything has a 1hp. The core mechanic is about reflecting and manipulating laser beams.

Like some others, I use rot.js for some map gen and rng but for rendering I use a different library, pixi, which let's me use particles and animations. It's kinda messy, but you can browse my code here https://github.com/mscottmoore/reflector (src/lib/renderer)

My game, Reflector: Laser Defense, sort of fits the description, but it might be at slightly smaller scale than you're looking for. A single tile in Reflector represents a big enough area for an entire building, or entire farm. You can't zoom in any closer.

Took a break from working on Reflector to participate in the 7DRL jam, this time with a couple collaborators: u/Lemunde doing the sprites and other art, and u/brightbone63 composing music and making sfx. I'll save my main write-up for the dedicated thread, but I'm really happy with how it came together. It was a rush at the end, and I'm not confident in the late-game balance, but it feels like a complete game.

I'm working on a turn-based base builder, Reflector: Laser Defense. There's an emphasis on tactical combat, the specific mechanics of which really wouldn't work well in real time (with or without pause). There's production and resource management as well, which works mostly how you describe. I think it works out alright, though it's sometimes confusing. Give it a try and let me know if you have any questions!

If you want something with a little less magic, pixi.js is a good option. I believe phaser uses it under the hood. I use it to render the map in my game (non-map UI uses React). You can browse my messy Typescript code here. That said, for the 7DRL perhaps the extra magic of phaser will be nice.

And standard weekly report. In the stable version, a real standard. No new bugs found this week, still one which I can't reproduce awaits for help.

The stable version is under control if we speak about the work. At least for now. :) I found two more bugs and fixed them. There is still one issue, but I can't reproduce it. It looks like something rare happened: or the downloaded game has corrupted files, or maybe antivirus was checking one of the files. Any help there would be nice. Anyway, for now, in around 24 hours since the post, the new more stable version of the game will be available for download.

Still nothing to report in the stable version. But I have some things to check there. I also checked one old report about problems with lagging keys on Windows, and it looks good for me. If someone could check it too, and inform me about the result, it would be very nice. :)

The game is made in probably unique set of technology: it is written in Ada programming language) and uses Tk library for the graphical user interface. Its development is done mostly in Fossil version control system. The mirror of the code is also available on GitHub and GitLab.

And probably the most important information about the development version: because since last release  4 weeks has passed, time for another development release :) In around 24 hours since this post a new, shiny, buggy, development version will be available to download on GitHub, itch.io and Game Jolt.
