Hm. Still slightly better than Big Rigs, if you can't walk through walls and off the map. And at FTL speeds in reverse.

[EmeraldWind]

You can't walk through walls or walk backwards.

But if you do manage to get off the map the game just crashes, which is fine.
Other than that you just walk around.
And all the rooms except the starting room are all identical (though that is going to change shortly).


First, I'm trying to make sure it doesn't generate a dungeon that is too small.
Which turned out to be tougher than making sure the dungeon wasn't to large.
Which is mostly because there are several solutions that seem valid.

OI NERD

pm the fuck out of me if you think this can be bigger than a solo project

[EmeraldWind]

Nah. This is going to be a solo project. I really need the practice.

Right now, I'm doing this in Java so it should work on any computer which is nice.
Though I might eventually neat help with art/music, I'm quite a way from that.

Pre-update anniversary gift: here's a preview of Sinful Accord, Cain's theme. It'll be finished by the time you guys finish the level (if you choose to do so).

The Shopkeeper, business-savvy as ever, offers to teach you the Eyebrow Gambit for two RIVER DOLLARS. (Microeconomics: 15) Your passing knowledge of currency conversion rates tells you this is a bad deal. The shopkeeper agrees, but his offer stands.

You scan the shopkeeper and get no useful information whatsoever.

You buy a couple HP-only potions with your remaining funds. The angry voice sends another message to your brain.

--Stop screwing around and get over here! If anyone else catches my signals, they'll seal my door for sure. Were my magic not suppressed, I'd give you shock for disobedience!--



You put the empty bottles in the machine.



It spins rapidly, knocking everyone back. After a few seconds, the glass bottles are gone, and a Figured Flask appears above! The Flask carries twice as much liquid as a normal bottle.



The Burro tracks Goom-bess' vibrational signature! (Attack: 17, 2, 4) Goom-bess is launched into the air for SIX DAMAGE! The Burro's tentacle immediately retreats back underground.

Goombess: Multistomp the tentacle. Ace all the timing.

[IronyOwl]

Goombess: Multistomp the tentacle. Ace all the timing.

Negative, thing can theoretically one-shot her. Goom-bess: Retreat, drink one of those shiny new healing potions we bought, THEN power-stomp burrowing thing.

Al: Grab hardhat, powerslide in on it, club worm-thing.
Ciro: Follow Al's attack, nail the tentacles when it tries to get him.
Cherish: ...um. Gripe about how nobody's given you a weapon. Follow Ciro in and punch tentacles anyway?


EDIT: Actually, that thing is pretty hardcore in general. Are we sure we want/need to get past it now? If not, we could just quietly ignore it.

Also Goom-bess should probably drink one of our new, currently unlisted healing potions and get in there to help. The potions were delicious.


More coherent ideas later!

[NAV]

Goombess: Multistomp
Al: Slash/bash with bartering ram
Ciro: Shoot with shotgun
Cherish: Wear hat, headbutt the Burro

Goom-bess already drank the healing potion! As did Ciro, but I forgot to list her HP as 12/12.

If I remember correctly, the tattle said it attacks every round at any range forever after it spots you. So we need to kill it now.

Oh, I see. Back to retreating, then.

While this is technically the party, it still doesn't tell me how much HP everyone has.

Again, omnirange. We'll just die.

Edit: On a completely unrelated note, I believe there are either 8 or 9 soulstars. The two in the metamenu are grouped together, and there are six more spaces on that line, with one on the next line before the Shipping Grid.

I do not recall anything about it locking onto single targets and attacking them relentlessly until slain. If you do, you should probably dig up the tattle for it, because that would be important to know.
