I would spring for minecart rails to the surface.

Who wants to draw straight and curved rails?

Also, a mine entrance that fits nicely in the corner.

Both need to fit in stonesense style.

[Siquo]

Stonesense tileset is a bit awkward due to the strange way DF handles floors and walls. It's doable, but if someone can find a better free-to-use tileset I'd prefer that.

Not much on the coding front, was too hungover, so I learned how to use git, set up a github account, and came halfway to streamlining the debugging pipeline in JDeveloper because I did it in a roundabout way that was totally not productive.

Perhaps I should RTFM the next time, first.

Just here to say I have been on a solid drinking binge for the last two hours, and I can still post something rational. Harden up Siquo.   

[Siquo]

Two hours? Amateur.

DO YOU SPIKE YOUR BEER WITH DOUBLE SHOTS VODKA AND STILL SKULL IT?
Didn't think so. Also, don't it. Tastes horrid.

Or you just choose the wrong tool for the job. Appears after an evening of searching through endless application settings and google pages that JDeveloper 11g Just Doesn't Support Applets.

Fuck you, Oracle.

If you need some music at some point, I might be able to help. Just putting that out there.
Also, in the tech demo that you've posted, the tiles are really small. Will they be larger (though the same resolution) in the final release?
On the subject of mouse-based movement, you could move the mouse to a location and use w and a to go towards it or back up, freeing up the mouse buttons for attacks or other actions.
Is the game going to be real-time or turn-based? I heavily vote for realtime, because there are so many turn-based roguelikes, but so few real-time ones.


Also, make sure you don't SaveAs the princess at the end or else she'll still be on the dragon's computer as well as your drive

Good tips , and I;ll remember that offer.

Two movement schemes in the planning: WESD absolute, and WASD relative (where W follows the mous rotation, and AD strafes relative to where your mouse is aimed). Both are possible but it's up to you what you prefer.

Busy weekend with no progress. There will be some, eventually, really!

A physical mouse compass?

[Siquo]

Something like that.

If you provide them, they will come. So far, this is it.

Progress update: installed Eclipse, and it's working compiling. That's all I could do in my alcohol (djeez this is turning into a drinking thread) induced state last night. Tonight a  meeting for YET ANOTHER project, and after that probably going to set up more basic stuff (jar creation, media importing, github integration), and then I'm ready to continue on basic movement and collision-detection, and only after that some gameplay.

I also accept all stolen art/music/sound effects with a CC license (as long as it's not CC-ND, and you do mention whom to attribute it to).


Edit: oooh, I likey: http://opengameart.org/content/cave-tileset
It already has rail tracks as well... I'm going to try and see if I can get this one to work...

MAKE DUNGEON KEEPER 3!!!
Because EA never will 

[Siquo]

Bit late for that, we're already the good guy!!! (plus that that's quite effing hard)

So with our new themesong on repeat, and finding out that git remote to github is actually really broken in eclipse, I did manage to get eclipse working, and especially the debugging is now working great. Did you know you can get a nullpointerexception if you use a null as false in a conditional? WHY FOR GOD'S SAKE WHYYYYYY?

So now we walk around, camera movement needs some tweaking, and then a simple collision detect so our hero stays in the caves.

...So with our new themesong on repeat...

wat

That video is flipping awesome.

[mr. macduggan]

Is there any way that we could make that in chiptune be the main menu theme? Just thinking ahead... (though I'm not good enough to make something like that yet)
