Welcome to Slipgate EM22. It vapors.

I like the UI; fresh, clean, and attractive.

 

[vlzvl]

Pretty good and clear sprites, but it seems the UI is a bit empty and missing a lot of information.
Also, why are you changing the floor tiles to light-dark? why not using just one

 

[Joonas]

I wanted the UI to be very clean and minimalistic.

The space above the navimap gets filled with good/bad condition effects as seen in this screenshot:

There is a separate character sheet for stats:

If you mean the chessboard-effect that is just for floor variation in some areas, not in all. A typical view might be more like this:

Not something i'm working on, but could inspire someone :-P... i was looking into some old files and found this dungeon editor i wrote a few years ago in C++ Builder (from 1996):



I wanted to make some sort of retro dungeon crawler that would play on old (late 90s) PCs but, as usual, i lost interest :-P.

I really like the pixel art. The resolution is kinda weird, what is the native one? Or it can scale?

I poked a bit around the EXE file, i see you used Delphi (5?) to make it. Nice to see someone who uses Delphi/Pascal for gamedev and kind of an interesting coincidence i decided to post my C++ Builder video now (i only checked the EXE after i quoted the image above). Have you tried to compile the game with Lazarus? If you only use VCL it should take very little work to create Linux and macOS versions.

Getting better at shaders. Tried adding some slight dithering to the fog to make graphics somewhat grittier, but apparently it causes flickering on shit monitors.

Guess I'll have to remove this effect.

Yes, it's made with Delphi. Haven't yet tried with Lazarus but I'll look into it. I don't use any 3rd party components so hopefully it will compile.

Fake lighting updated, dithering turned into an optional effect, fake light shafts added, lines are in with a faster shader to do stuff.

Now I need to rewrite the line editor, but I'll probably do it once I'm done with the addon for DG. Still need to finish a few areas and do more thorough testing to make sure everything works as expected.

 

[zwanzig_zwoelf]

Last post on DG2 for a while -- implemented a simple ingame console. Its intended usage is similar to the debug menu in DG1, but it should have more functions + should be less of a pain in the butt to use.

Well as much as I appreciate skybox support of source ports, I decided to use classic scrolling sky for this one:





Sky texture is a modified version of the vanilla one.

Demos little bit of everything except the elevators and dialog.



password is test


The game will feature combat, loot, upgrading stats and skillpoints. I still have quests, multiple solution areas, dungeons, and a whole bunch of reactivity planned.

How do we pass the test?

It looks fine, but why stick with the red wireframe if you're actually coloring in all of the polygons?

It's a test color to see if the shader is working as expected. Colors are going to be adjusted once I make a proper editor for it.

I did magic weapons and armour; added kobold slingers, orc chuckers and bandit archers; some streamlined UI and a heap of bug fixes.

The cool emergent thing that happened was that with the addition of ranged enemies, the importance of lighting came to the fore and I only realised this after I found myself getting hammered from a kobold slinging at me unseen from the darkness while I stood in the light. I realised that this works in reverse and now there's a good reason why you might want to extinguish your torches before heading into a fight to maximise the element of surprise.

nothing helps keep my tendency to go overboard with skills and abilities at bay than the prospect of having to make icons for all of them

(You can see inspirations there, even with these early blockouts.)
