This is a roguelike / mystery dungeon kind of game I'm working on. Will be using the C64 palette and realtime synthesized chiptune audio for music and sfx, as well as a CRT shader for that additional retro vibe 😄 bsky.app/profile/lund...

These rats have a natural trait of 200% plague resistance, so they're happy to marinate in their own sauces. Also after some more extensive playtesting it has dawned on me that the biggest challenge in this project will be to balance the system, but it's something that I'm looking forward to!

Thank you! 🙏 And thank you for the offer, I will however be doing all audio work in this obscure tool 😁 (generates waveforms in real time to save space).

Early playtesting and doing it in steps helped me. It was almost impossible to structure the "complete" version on paper so I started with a simple one where enemies just located the closest target and used pathfinding to go towards and attack it. Once that was in place I could take the next step.

I think it's one of those things you have to explore the limits of until you know how to scope it. Playtesting is probably key to see if it's enough or need more tweaking etc. I expect that I will probably add more targeting options as the only parameter I evaluate now is hp 😄

I've been doing the same recently, and the biggest win for me so far is that I've never really done anything this advanced before, so the learnings and just getting into the mindset for an actual implementation has been invaluable 😊

Does it include any built in editors for gfx or sfx/music?

🤣👍👊🏼

Only the real oldies are non-punchable IMO

Yeah that's weird, could've at least sent an email or something😅

Wohoo!

Thanks! Most of the assets are from an RPGMaker pack, though I’m quite pleased with the retro vibe overall, in part thanks to the CRT shader 😁

I'm in the same situation.. My hope is that it will come to me eventually 😅🤞
