• Day 6 - A game with no name
  March 12, 2022 by voxelate

  Field of view, but nothing lying in wait. Monster generation but not monster placement. Weapon targeting but not firing. A physics system but no projectiles. Falling, but no falling damage. Enemy AI w... Continue reading

  
• Day 5.1 - Leaping and stumbling
  March 11, 2022 by voxelate

  Finally, jumping. (Currently picks a jump randomly.) Added it quite quickly right at the beginning of day 6, hence a late writeup. The first thing to go well for a while, after another disastrous day... Continue reading

  
• Day 4 - Hello Humidumfunemcaeruleum

  ##7drl22, ##Godot, ##roguelike

  This is Humidumfunemcaeruleum. It lives in the tower. It is one of many possible denziens, and at the moment doesn't do much other than wander around and bob. I didn't know it was going to exist, but... Continue reading

  
• Day 4 - Hitting rock bottom

  Day 4 was lost to those twin spectres: bugs and animations. I didn't accomplish much else. Created walk/fall/land animations myself. Now walking off an edge actually works and looks correct. Also got... Continue reading

  
• Day 3 - Plummeting to ground
  March 09, 2022 by voxelate

  This is better called a physics roguelike rather than a platformer roguelike, I now realise. Platformers can have trivial physics, but most are more than that, particularly if you can do things mid-ai... Continue reading

  
• Day 3 - Getting a head (or several)
  March 09, 2022 by Seilburg##7DRL22, ##Godot, ##devlog, ##roguelike

  Today has gone more or less as planned. Of course, it's easy to say that when I've made a point of not reviewing what promises I made yesterday. My time was significantly more limited today, unfortuna... Continue reading

  
• Day 2 - Dejection
  March 08, 2022 by voxelate

  Imagine your mech, moving smoothly from tile to tile as each of its six components makes the motions for the walk animation. It reaches the next tile and switches to Idle. There, you've seen my Day 2... Continue reading
• Day 2 - Agony
  March 08, 2022 by Seilburg##7drl22, ##Godot

  Right, okay. I was worried I would get entirely nothing done today. It turns out I got a bit more than nothing done! I wasted many hours worrying about animation transitions, blending, and state machi... Continue reading
• Day 1 - Familiar ground(s)
  March 06, 2022 by Seilburg

  ##7drl, ##Godot, ##roguelike, ##devlog

  I'm amazed at how I can feel so unproductive, yet produce surprisingly much. Most of the day has been spent trying to snatch naps wherever possible, and realising that I'm getting old. That's a whole... Continue reading

  
• Day 1: Stealing a march
  March 06, 2022 by voxelate

  Spent most of the day on porting over code from Portlligat, while removing or modifying parts and doing some minor refactoring. The refactoring ate a lot of time (including debating it!) for little be... Continue reading

  
• Day 0 - Off we go!
  March 05, 2022 by Seilburg##Godot, ##7DRL22

  This year, environment is everything. Our entry seeks to explore the impact that the environment can have on making interesting in-game choices for players. The typical roguelike presents the game wor... Continue reading
• Day Zero
  March 05, 2022 by voxelate

  We're back! Seilburg and I attempt our 4th 7DRL ! This time it's a "traditional" roguelike but with a big twist: it's a platformer rather than top down. You pilot a mech climbing a tower that stretche... Continue reading
