7 Day Roguelike 2016: Polish

2016-03-10 in gamedev roguelikes 7drl

Tonight I finished the level generator, adding weapons and items. I fixed a bug in my recursive shadowcast implementation causing strange behaviour when looking at the edge of the map. I tweaked a couple of mechanics, namely:

explosions destroy nearby walls regardless of whether one side is pressurized
- this is unlike bullets, which only damage walls if one side is pressurized and the other isn’t
flames from the flamethrower don’t stop when they hit an enemy
doors can’t be closed if there is an enemy standing in the way

I spent the rest of my time tonight polishing the game’s UI.

Here are some death screens from playtesting!

Shooting a bloat at point-blank range. Never a good idea.

Tried to kill some zombies by blowing up a nearby bloat. Didn’t end well.

Getting sucked out of the ship as a section decompresses due to a hull breach.
