Adventurer - roguelike RPG - Java game

Project name: Adventurer

Version: extremely early

Introduction

Project is in active development as of 26.8.2017.

Adventurer looks and feels like an old roguelike game. Therefore it has simplistic graphics and GUI. The goal is to create a roguelike experience but with some persistency (basically a roguelite). Control schema is same as in the older roguelike games. You move and attack with the same keys. Attacking happens when player "bumps" into an enemy.

The game is created using Java and it's written 100% without using any java game libraries. This means that it uses custom homemade 2D game engine. At the moment the engine is not ready and it's still in development.

Current status

Main Features
Procedural dungeon generation: creates rooms and connects them with a continuous maze. Doors are generated to connect these two.
Procedural maze generation: uses modified backtracking algorithm.
Tile and room-systems: World consists of rooms, which then consist of tiles.
Visibility determination: all actors use Bresenham's line algorithm in determinating line of sight.
Enemy pathfinding: uses A* algorithm.
Load data from XML-files: item and actor data is read in XML-format.
Enemy AI: enemies follow the player when they are alerted. Also they can attack both in melee and ranged.

Under development

Engine
Engine is far from ready and it is developed parallel to Adventurer (the game).

Adventurer - near future
Chests & keys
Re-implement locked doors.
Fix multiple bugs.
Main menu & death-screens.
Obviously more content (items, enemies, bosses etc.)
Much much more...

Roguelike RPG

Project name: Roguelike (name not yet decided)

Version: extremely early

Introduction

Project is not in active development as of 20.7.2017.

This game is a roguelike RPG, where the player dwells in randomly generated dungeons slaying monsters, gathering loot and trying to survive. It's in very early stage, where some 'basic' stuff, such as rough dungeon generation, are implemented.

Game is created by using Unity3D 5.5 and C#. Graphics are done with Pyxel.edit.

Current status

Main Features
Random dungeon generation: Generates dungeon layouts automatically. Multiple algorithms, which are pretty rough though.
Tilesystem: Creates seamless graphics using a tilesystem.
Line of sight system
Image parser: Generates dungeons and special rooms using hand drawn images. Supports all mechanics such as doors, walls, enemies, items etc.

Graphics
Pixelart graphics: Tiles are 16x16 (might get converted to 32x32) and are created by hand using Pyxel edit software.

Tech
Smooth movement & attack: uses vector.lerp.
Every actor moves on their own turn.
"Gamejuice": screenshake, lerps etc.

Audio
Added rudimentary soundeffects: used bfxr

Actors
Basic enemy AI: Enemies follow player and use melee attacks.
Player has slots for armor, weapon, spell and usable items.
Enemy types: normal melee, flying enemies (can't trigger traps), static enemies (immovable).
Bosses: special spell combinations.

GUI and input
Keypad and Mouse input: Can play with mouse and keyboard.
Mouse GUI: Can click/hover on GUI elements.
Spell range and spell AOE: Show valid tiles.
Player pathfinding: Uses A* search algorithm.

Gameplay related features
Special rooms: With img to dungeon system you can create your own dungeon layouts. For example shops, boss rooms, monster closets etc.
Loot rarity mechanics/probability calculations: Items come in four different levels (normal, magical, rare, legendary).
Exp system: Standard leveling system.
Traps: Floor spikes that hurt actors.
Effect system: Allows heal/damage/buffs/debuffs over time for all actors in the dungeon.

Under development

Content
Bigger pool of items: such as weapons, armor, potions etc.
Weapon types: different hit area (aoe).
