7DRL 2012 - Escape from the Vault

[Aerie]

yet again, i don't know if i'm allowed to help, but if i can, if there is anything else you need help me (though you're more help to yourself than i would be to you) just let me know. i don't mind giving it a run.

Also.. this is a bummer. Why did they stick you at the bottom of the list? ://

because I edited that page and put myself at the bottom

4.5 hrs into day 5
- random vault done
- caves done (that was just lifted from euo tho)
- weapons + armour done
- many items done

next cab of the rank: probably the subway level but I am wondering if I should bother. I have 3 mapthemes but would like 5 I think.

todo:
today (couple of hours left): anything useful but I am tired as hell and over it and back is sore
fri: finish all mapsets - must be done by fri as I need good chunk of time to do classes+abilities
sat: loot, classes + abilities
sun: sound, testing


my prediction is that game will be somewhat cute but either too easy or too hard, since balancing takes ages and there is no time at all for that! (do that after the competition ends)

use it if you want, idc. i saw you said it was difficult, so i dreweth one up real fast and threw it up here. it's all yours if you want it.

As a Graphic Designer, I always appreciate how tough creating the little things can be. Both you and Egg have done a great job quickly crankin' out tight tiles.

[Aerie]

Well thank ya thank ya. :Di should probably get back into redoing some of my tiles, huh?

[Devlin]

Well thank ya thank ya. :Di should probably get back into redoing some of my tiles, huh?

I'd like to see more tiles

[DrRude]

Well thank ya thank ya. :Di should probably get back into redoing some of my tiles, huh?

Having grown up with computers since the Jurassic days when 16 colors ruled the world and 256 colors was Mana from Heaven, I've seen how working at the pixel level is becoming a lost art. Most 3D shoot 'em ups are moving so fast that you don't have to be frugal with space or worry about that level of quality; all that matters is decent brushmaps, a good 3D engine and great effects.

You should definitely keep it up...

[Heniek]

Heh, I like idea of televangelist class

[Aerie]

well thank you both. i'll look into picking my mouse back up. xD

subway

[Aerie]

i like that but my only suggestion is to make the railways connect better, instead of having that little gap? like walls

[Devlin]

love it "futuristic lightsource"

looking forward to giving this a go

Just about the end of day 5.5 - 1am nearly, 1.5 days to go. Mapsets finalised, randomised pills done, but not really tested, done basic loot, 5 foods, weapons, armour. Not sure how to swing enchants. Would like to do random artefacts if I get time, or maybe just softcode some EUO style.

Tomorrow I'm designing classes, abilities and racials. Sound too, tho I've started that. Oh yeh I gotta work out how the ending is going to work.

[eggmceye]

<24 hrs to go

designing the classes now. Music and good chunk of sound done - not going to spoil it but the midis I've lifted own I'm locked in my room for the next 9-12 hrs and not coming out

[Aerie]

you better let us play the end results mister!

[eggmceye]

I'm done

I used the pill that puts a target to sleep on myself, and it would appear the timer stays stuck at (10).

I kicked the games butt though, made it to the outside world

[Dudle]

Hi there!

Plays well till you fall asleep...then i couldnt get it to go away, so i quit.

[Aerie]

Yeah, timer is iffy. when using bandages, it's not a timer, you have to move to get it to count down. every step is -1 of 10. and your dex is like 1k. super fast.

I like it, but died. it made me sad.
