Adding special rooms to Dungeon Mercenary


Last weeks I’ve been writing a new API to easily plug new special rooms, i.e. rooms that do something special when you enter them. I’m done with the first room: a room whose doors seal up when you enter it:

Of course the generator will make sure there’s one way or another to escape..

I plan to identify special rooms by putting red carpet in them (as in this video’s example), i.e. the floors will always have this redish color, so that you know you’re up to something when you enter such rooms (red carpet was already used to indicate that something was going: around a sleeping dragon, to indicate its dangerousness; and in goblin throne rooms).

More rooms to come!

I'm adding skills as reward for beating dungeons #roguelike #indiedev #gamedev#screenshotsaturday #codesource. That’s part of the progression of the player, together with better items. There's a lot of them but it's quite easy to implement.

Creating the game's page on GJ, new team: Evil

During the last week, I've added traps. They can either be initially visible (early levels) or be noticed randomly when you walk by (later levels). Hope you'll like them!

My in-development cards game now has its own webpage on itch: https://hgames.itch.io/pixel-card-wars I think I'll ultimately post it on GameJolt, but devlog will only be on itch. Please follow it here!

Pixel Card Wars: How gamedev proceeds (hand design)

Juiced combat
