Take your screenshot, for example--the faint gray is what the player can see, but you can't tell that you can't see around the corner into the room with the light in it.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>It's a cool game, though. The simple mechanics are fun, once you get used to them."},{"author_name":"tgijsola","author_uid":"5391","time":"Aug 24, 2011 @ 1:51am","epoch":1314150360,"text":"Nice!

I will make a single .jar package that should work ASAP. Sorry for the inconvenience.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>@Shigor I wanted to implement fields of view for the hero and the guards, but that would require blending, and java2D does not like it. As I said before, with a small bit of OpenGL, everything would have been possible! I'll definitely implement FOVs if I were to continue this. Thanks for feedback btw!"},{"author_name":"ointment","author_uid":"5551","time":"Sep 4, 2011 @ 12:37pm","epoch":1315139520,"text":"Nice difficulty progression, fits the theme, feels very polished.
