Cavern

In the recent months i've begun the process of learning java and reached a point where i felt i could start a game...
And that game was Cavern. It is my attempt at making one of my favorite game types a Rougelike currently it is
on week 3 of Development (Keep in mind I'm Building this from the ground up and I haven't even looked up how to do half this stuff)
If you have any Suggestions please comment below and REMEMBER TO READ THE README!!!!!

Is that a mid Atlantic accent I hear???

Looks like a solid tech demo so far, judging by the YouTube vid.  I actually kinda like the lo fi wizard sprite, but the chasms are hard to tell from the fog-of-war (I'm guessing the planned graphics update will address that)

The GUI seems pretty thorough; stats, minimap, medimap.  The dungeon design looks like some kind of overlapping room setup, which makes for good looking levels - like crawl but with a lower frequency of long hallways.  It's going to be interesting to see how monster fighting strategy plays out with wide open spaces and limited choke points, especially if you get mired in a fungus patch.
