LUCK released as a Java Web Start Application

Now you can run LUCK straight from your browser, just click this and you will be playing in no time!

This was possible due to the usage of libjcsi with some improvements to be released on next version.

(This means if you use libjcsi for io, it will be easier to make your roguelike available on JWS :))

LUCK 3.0 Released!!

Slash on Wednesday 13 August 2008 - 18:45:58 // comment: 0

Ok, I must confess I am obsessed.

This is intended to be the final version, I dont think I can manage to get something more into it!

For this version I added:

Move using directional keys
Added Enemies: They chase you down and quickly reduce your oxygen!
Enemies are quicker as you go into the dungeon.
Combat against enemies, you can choose to run or face them in deadly hand to flipper combat!
Enemies don't run into walls
Press space after you win or lose so you can see your results (really!)
Fixed bug on random generation (wasnt working for new levels)

Picture: here

So far, LUCK is a <1KBRL With the following features

Move using the directional keys
Pick up at least 10 relics through the 20 dungeon floors
Your oxygen drops steadly, your time is limited
Line of Sight, risk exploring the dungeon for the relics or descending for better LUCK
Random Level Generation
Themed Levels
Combat hand to hand with progressively harder enemies

* Get the relics from each floor and run for the exit, your time is limited as you are running out of oxygen

Screenshots

Plot
It is been about four million years since the times of The Quest for the Amulet of Yendor. The planet has been devastated and traces of civilization are no longer found.

You land your ship near the place the amulet of Yendor is rummored to be.

Your ship soon becomes unstable and you are ejected; your main oxygen tank blows into a million pieces, and you are left with a limited and pretty useless secondary tank.

Having no hope to survive, you jump into the ruins of Yendor, hoping to find at least 10 pieces of the broken amulet, become God, save yourself and turn the planet into a happy greenland.

History
LUCK was an entry for the 2008 First <1kB Roguelike Challenge.

Still Alive

Slash on Tuesday 15 July 2008 - 08:50:20 // comment: 0

...and a bit away from roguelike development at the moment.

Basically, I have big plans for the future; first thing to do will be releasing metroidrl 0.8, I can't afford to develop all I wanted for it but at least I will try to make a decent release (It is already a lot better than 0.71).

Then I will go for what is needed, CvRL 1.3, I have seen many things to enhance, and I am already waiting for valuable input. (I am looking at you :) )

Finally, I will be able to concentrate back on my main project, but it will still take time

However, all this will not happen inmediately... I have pending things to do (releasing pixalnation being one of them, making my graduate school studies lift off being another one), just wanted to let you know this is all planned, and I am still alive :)

A new roguelike project: Metal Gear Roguelike

Slash on Tuesday 20 May 2008 - 08:06:25 // comment: 1

Ok, I have been away for too long. pixalguild approaches 0.1, but the most important news you will probably want to know about is my new roguelike project, my entry for the TIGSource procedural generation compo

Metal Gear: The Roguelike.

* Infiltrate a base as a FOXHOUND special forces operative
* Explore the randomly generated multi-building jungle base complex.
* Stealthy rescue hostages and increase your rank
* Avoid guards, they are bad
* Find stealthy and not so stealthy weapons (Knifes, Handguns, Machineguns, Explosives and Rocketry)
* Destroy mass-destruction nuclear-warhead-armed gigantic Metal Gear mechas
* Meet new people and make friends with your transceiver.

Here goes a simple mockup

PixalNation development

Slash on Sunday 13 April 2008 - 23:21:20 // comment: 0

I hope to have the testing version working by the end of April

Check out the latest development at the DevLog (http://pixalnation.net/dev)

(Alternatively, just check this :P)

MegamanRL 0.0.8

MegamanRL 0.0.7DRL Released

Slash on Sunday 16 March 2008 - 15:24:19 // comment: 1

Hello all!

I managed to release it in time for the 7DRL. The scope had to be stretched a bit...
Developing this was a nice experience ;)

Use z to jump, x to fire, s to setup

Players can modify their maps via XML, thus making much better maps than this busy coder could in this week :)

I plan on releasing a map pack next week... and probably more robot masters and weapons!

PLEASE give me your comments :)

Damn that overlord list!
It was so much fun seeing you evil overlords shooting your best men while wondering why operations went awry.

I've read the Evil Overlord's List, I'm not going to tell you my plans until after your dead flesh has been royally raped a few times. Better yet, I'll just not tell you, or lie.

AmnEn

06 Oct : 16:40

Well why don't you tell me your masterplan while I'm in your ultimate deathtrap. And never mind that sound, its not me breaking free from the trap!
