OrthoCrawl (lofi dungeon crawler) [WIP]

Post by ecliptic »

Here's a little tech demo I have for a first person lo-fi dungeon crawler I worked on for the now finished TIGSource Assemblee competition (great site, check it out if you're not familiar).

Image

This demo lets you wander around the garden, read gravestones, and what-not. Most of the work has been on the infrastructure. Very much a work in progress, but I like how it's all coming together. Probably doing some code refactoring later today, work some object oriented paradigms into there.

TO DO:
===========
NPCs and monsters
Combat mechanics
Inventory
Game content

Love file: http://www.filedropper.com/orthocrawl_1 (4.8mb due to audio)

Very nice looking interface. I liked reading all the graves too.

Very awesome! When you expand the game, be sure not to fill it up with too many monsters. It's fun just to explore the paths.

There really ought to be a "romance the dead" command. :|

I can't play it!!! I see blank rects instead of images... Why? Is it for 0.5.0 maybe?

So I need to pad my source images up to powers of 2 in width and height? Heh, I remembered reading about this but hoped nobody would have an issue with it.

If that's the case, I'll update the art with the next release.

It is looking quite good.

I got a bit lost on intersections, thought. You might want to consider putting an arrow on the minimap showing the direction the payer is facing, in addition to the player's position.
When I write def I mean function.

There's a big letter that tells you what direction you're facing.. (the letter beneath the 'viewport', in the screenshot S, for south)

TechnoCrat pointed me at this on a similar question: http://love2d.org/docs/ImageData.html. The example on the bottom may give you a couple ideas.
