roguelike VS revengate

Latest release

Oathbreaker (GitHub, initial writeup)

Try out the latest release! Actually, don't bother.

But there is... only it's not in-game, it's in the online docs. I guess I'll have to find a way to put it in-game if I want to keep some hope of folks understanding it.

I ditched the idea of completing the in-game tutorial for this release, instead opting to have a walkthrough in the docs. See it here (It's not... quite done yet though. I still need to upload those GIFs and such.)

Try out the latest release!

For anyone else who wants to use it: the code is here, but note that there is a lot of cleanup for me to do before I can make it a standalone library as zig-sentry. I hope to complete it slowly over the course of the next few weeks, but no promises.

Try out the latest release! Or use the Replit (Use fullscreen and press Ctrl+L since the starting window size is too small.)

Replit. Note that you'll need to enable fullscreen and hit Ctrl+L as the starting console window is too small. Keybindings are listed here.

The old Python version of the game had a perfect separation between calculations and presentation, so it was really easy to make a simulator for it. With Godot, presentation is coupled more tightly, but I think that the work I did on perception and visibility should be enough to run combats faster than game-speed (monsters that you can't perceive move without animations).

OK, I went a bit wild with the summoning spell. If you squint, you can probably guess how it works. The key is picking good looking decals to start with, then it's just a bit of pixel shifting with some colorization.

Oh no! It's in open testing in a few countries and I guess that Google Play prefers to pretend that the app does not exist if you are from somewhere else rather than saying that its region restricted at the moment. The code is here and you can see what it looks like on my devlog.

I couldn't find a good sound effect for the explosion, so I ended up voice acting it.

You are in luck because I'm more than happy to share! https://gitlab.com/ygingras/revengate/-/blob/main/src/ui/water.gdshader

Revengate – a steampunk roguelike for Android – Website | Git repo | Downloads

Revengate 0.4.0 went out to Google Play (also available for manual side-loading). This release includes the monsters stat page, monsters who remember what happened to them, non-aggressive rats, dialogues, and a skills system that is not exposed to the players yet, but which already reduces the number of misses during the typical encounter.

I added victory conditions, so you can finally win the game rather than infinitely bashing monsters. I have a few things to tidy up, then I will probably push a v0.3 build to Google Play next week.

You read my mind! I was stuck with my previous overly complicated and brittle level generator and I would find all sorts of excuses to browse the news rather than writing code. So I tried writing monster descriptions instead and I sent a few commissions out. I really liked the results and it boosted my motivation, so I did it again a few times. It's kind of hard to stop once you have the ball rolling, but you obviously can't make a game with only a killer bestiary, so I took a break from sourcing arts.

I merged the Godot implementation back into the main git repo. There are still a few design docs that should be updated to clarify if they refer to the Python or to the Godot code.
