Desktop Dungeons

[Ultixan]

Okay theres quite a few pages in this thread so I apologize if this has been mentioned before.
I found a minor bug with the one altar which lets you sacrifice 10 health for +4 max mana. Did it at level one which dropped max hp to 0 (yes a stupid thing to do but I was curious to see what would happen ;p ) and caused the game to throw this error:

ERROR in
action number 1
of  Step Event
for object Hero:

Error in code at line 48:
   if (hp/max_hp<0.2) global.accolade[A_TANK]=0;

at position 9: Division by 0.

Anyway, keep up the awesome work. I've managed to get a bunch of my friends addicted to this game. ;p

Haha, thats got the new artwork in it, i recognize the dungeon tiles and the new goat sprite! :)

I like the style though and idea, would make a cool splash screen...

Guddamn that's excellent, love the perspective.

[coendou]

really nice picture that. love it. makes me think, maybe, if this game gets real far, it can be made 3D :p would be funny

[dislekcia]

Whoa! Thanks Mik :)

I love that the enemies have the level numbers on them, that's so kickass! (Also, the goat is like my favorite monster ever)

[Nandrew]

D and I just laughed our asses off at this one. That goat's expression is just priceless!

[Nandrew]

Ultixan: Yeah, nabbed that one. :P It's a common error in the current version, but take comfort in the fact that it would probably have killed you regardless. :P

The dungeon has a ceiling? o_O

It's one of those maaaagical optical illusion thingums that you can only see from one side. That's why you can still see through it from the top.

Either that, or Miktar has too many memories of stuff like Daggerfall and Wolfenstein 3D.

The pic is amazing :)

Awesome fan art!

Just got a whole bunch of random ideas, and thought id make suggestions and see what other people think :

- How about destroying a potion instead of picking it up , like Gauntlet for an effect?

- How about having mini portals/trapdoors that open into other levels or layers, for example a small 8x8 room with a few monsters, like a mini dungeon, or even smaller..

- How about mini quests, for example in the Glyph slots you could also pick up items (i know this adds complexity to the game, but its just an idea) for example retrieve a magic sword. I guess this is similar to altars, but involves returning the item? Or simpler, more quests, like kill 3 zombies, or kill 1 level higher monster, and more varied rewards.

- Doodad tile support! :)

Ok thats it for now...

Well, it's a Dungeon, isn't it? That implies like, it being, dungeony... unlike, say, Desktop Open Air Maze.. or something.

[Nandrew]

Heh, Doodad tiles may come in a later version, and they'll probably be made optional so that there's less of a headache for me and the people making custom tiles. :P

The revised religion system may meet your suggestion of more complicated quests. I ain't got derm dungeon set-pieces just yet, but hopefully those will come later, and bring mini-stories along with them.

Lulz, I was being facetious. :P

[moldar]

Ok - since some ideas are being bandied about:

A very scary HOMING PIGEON! When the pigeon has been located (meaning it spots you, too!), it moves towards you by 1 space (if possible) every time you [fight a monster|kill a monster|something else]

So, {what} do you <think> about the idea?

ps - yes - I went crazy with my markup . . .

+1000 win to Miktar.
