That's okay, it's the generation that counts

Is it true that the same two villains are recurring villains?

In theory all the villains should be recurring.  You have a villain pool that starts off with two villains.  Every two or three missions it generates a new(and slightly stronger) villain to the pool.

Aaaagh, I was writing up my concept and was using firefox spell-check and misclicked on "Logout"    I'll try to forget that that happened.

I'm starting today, so I'll have the weekend a couple days before my deadline!

My idea is a genealogical RPG, where family members come and go while the family itself levels up.  The adventurer you control delves into The Evil Portal to gain knowledge, loot, and mysterious power to help their family.  After surviving a few adventures he or she retires to raise a family, passing on skills and loot to allow the next generation to start out stronger.

One of the major goals is to earn the family noble titles by serving noble families.  The most straightforward way to do this is to happen across a noble adventurer in The Evil Portal, assist them, and be offered a place in their service.  A title provides many benefits, but it comes with enemies in the form of rival noble families, whose sons and daughters will appear in The Evil Portal as unique enemies.  (These noble families all behave much like the player's family, also, and they will remember if your parents murdered their parents).

The actual dungeon crawl is going to be pretty suck, since I've never made one before, and in fact I haven't coded much of anything not for work in a long time!  So there's that.  Hopefully I can remember enough Pygame to make *something*

Edit: Thanks to friends and brothers and work, I'm actually starting right now on the 6th instead.  I don't even have a design document other than the above, haha.

So uh, I never did get started, kept waiting for a good opportunity and always had something to do.  Dad's birthday for one thing.
But those are just excuses, everyone has obligations, and Portal 2 comes out on the 19th.  So I'm starting for real this time because I'm not going to work on this after Portal 2 comes out

Good luck.  I started early just because of Portal 2 as well.

That game should really be titled "Portal 2: All Your Productivity Are Belong To Us."

Yeah, the gameplay is really lacking.

Then how come I can't stop playing?! This is pretty much fantastic. Are you planning to keep working on it at all?

Tech Junkie is awesome once he can summon 5-6 robots. I call them the Firing Squad. Also, Lady Legs is a really bad tank but apparently she doesn't know that.

Hehe.  I should have given her a bit better AI or given her some more armor to compensate for the fact that she's always the first one to get ganged up on.  Glad you like it. 

I haven't really decided if I'm going to do anything else with it.  There is still a lot that I could do to flesh it out more so maybe I'll think about it.

I usually send LL way back to get the gunners. She does not respond well to "defend location".

Anyhow, the first battle is arguably the hardest. It just gets easier from there.

I won't be able to work on my roguelike at all tomorrow (on what would be my seventh day of developement) so I'm going to move my seventh day to Saturday. I mean, I guess that technically violates the whole point of a 7drl... so I'll be appeasing the 7drl gods with an offering of screenshots!

Pictures Ahoy!

Grogtor, an orcish barbarian, finds a tasty snack on the first level of an ancient cavern.


Grogtor discovers the subterranean town of Arwick!

I should be able to (mostly) finish the basic components of the game with another day of solid work. I'll be posting whatever I have on Saturday. I may even continue working on this, I've had a lot of fun with it so far

Hey look, it's a starting post! It took me three months, but I finally got an idea from one of my own themes.

I'm more intrigued by the name than the screenshot strangely. 

[lordnincompoop]

I have started.

My game will be a crime-based roguelike much like the hoax that was around several months ago, and, indeed, plan on implementing many of its features.

The theme will be worked in thusly: Every character will be wholly randomly generated and will have as many facets to a real person I can implement randomly. This includes dress codes, personalities, likes/dislikes, family and relationships, etc.

Wish me luck.

Well I failed, partially due to real life distractions like my birthday. I have however in these 7 days written some lovely code, which is vastly better than AsciiMan's current code.

Mind if you share?
