Im hoping that this time, the theme will lend itself well to a roguelike as I’ve been wanting to do one for a while – by roguelike of course I mean top down, turn based with ascii graphics.<\/p>\n

This will be a polar opposite from my last entry which was an FPS and turned out to be over-ambitious just like all my FPS entries \ud83d\ude1b<\/p>\n

I might make it realtime which would be a good twist.<\/p>\n

I have two secondary objectives:
\n 1) Get pathfinding to work
\n I have never actually implemented proper pathfinding for a game, so this will be a good opportunity to learn<\/p>\n

2) Get a server side system for high scores, and saved games
\n This will be useful for more than just LD games of course.<\/p>\n

My tools will be SVN and Eclipse, I won’t need anything by way of graphics and I’ll build the editor into the game itself.<\/p>","time":"April 24th, 2014 12:04 pm","title":"I\u2019m in!"}
