Hi,
 I've been a lurker here for awhile, I finally wanted to post about a game I'm trying to make. I've made a few roguelike prototypes in the past and in the last few months I decided I'm going to try to create something larger that people can play. My goal is to create a roguelike which has extensive content and game mechanics (a kitchen-sink-included roguelike) while still having a coherent design.

Development:

• Written in C (--std=c17)
• No engine just game code and Win32/Vulkan
• Rendering is handled in Vulkan with a single-pass renderer I wrote
• Pixels: Aseprite and Clip Studio Paint
• Code: just Vim, Make, and Clang

Features

• single player
• turn-based gameplay
• expansive multi-tiered levels
• Lua API for modding and TASBot support
• 3d path finding
• fixed-perspective isometric FOV with both single plane and full view
• pixel-perfect mouse support
• game controller support
• unique AI per individual monster as well as generic monster type
• inventory and equipment system
• hunger and eating perks systems
• combinatorial gameplay mechanics (verbs may apply to any noun/object)
• dynamic lighting
• in-game level editor

Planned

• Netplay features
• Bones files
• Polymorph system
• Magic/Tech
• Music/Sound
• Mac/BSD/Linux versions

I appreciate any interest. Apologies if this is the wrong place to post lmk.

This looks very nice indeed. The screenshot reminds me of the movie Dark City.

I like your design, it looks both mystical and technological. How's it going with your game now? When we could expect alpha?

Thanks, it's hard to say other than quite a while. I have many ideas right now and haven't cut my scope much.
