UPDATE
If you downloaded the archive within the first 24 hrs you probably have the sleep of death pill - and you may like to download an updated file to make your game not lock up!
http://escapefromthevault.com/pills.lua
i) right click that, save as
ii) save it into the scripts directory where you unzipped scape from the vault
iii) overwrite the existing pills.lua - if there was no pills.lua you are saving in the wrong place
New downloaders of the game won't have this problem.
screenshots Sup guys, wish me luck!
My rec.games.roguelike.development post
I will be posting my updates here. I really hope not to make a fool of myself since I have such a massive head start! Wish me luck guys and please don't post any ideas because, as much as I love them, this is a contest and I need to do this myself!This is my first foray into 7DRL.
I'll be making a post-apocalyptic RL using some ideas that have been stewing in my head for a while and the engine that powers EUO (http://euotopia.com). I have a massive head start in the programming dept since this is a fully finished & polished & mature game engine that I've been working on over the last 13 years and thus know inside out.
However to make life difficult I will be trying to use absolutely nothing as far as existing content goes.
This game will be:
- turn based
- single player
- permanent death
- procedurally generated levels
What I will be editing/creating to make the game:
- LUA (the engine has a scripting engine)
- spreadsheets, data and cfg files
- all new graphics & sound
- I will avoid as much as possible writing anything in C++ to mod the engine core, unless necessary
I'm starting Sun 11th Mar 12:30pm Sydney time, ending 12:30 Mar 18 Sydney time (GMT+11)
