PGDmC - Duke of Dragonfear: Deathland

[Ñuño Martínez]

I'm tracing my advances in my blog but it's in Spanish and everybody created a thread here so...

My game's name is Duke of Dragonfear: Deathland, as a tribute to Tim Harnell, whose books teach me a lot about games and general programming. The game itself has some of hte original Duke of Dragonfear, random maps, caves and treasures, but will be a lot different too. Instead of dragons there will be zombies and skeletons.

Last weekend I was planning and looking for graphics. I've found a great isometric character set in OpenGameArt.com which is almost perfect for my game. For the scenery I didn't find any tile-set that fits the character style and my tile-map engine (the one used by the Allegro.pas' demo game) so I'll adapt some I've find.

That's all at the moment.

Excellent! Another game in the competition.

Sounds great can't wait to see more as you progress.

As I've said at "What gives?" it's too hot here, in Madrid, and I can't think a lot. You know, I feel lazy (I mean "more lazy" ) but I'm trying to advance in the game. Yesterday I was modifying the tilemap engine from the Allegro.pas demonstration game. Now it loads the tileset and seems to render everything right. I hope I can write a "map-maker" to build random maps this night and then I can show you how it looks.

Looking forward to it.

I had problems with the dungeon generator; it was harder than I suspected. But here you have an screen-shot:

(No, it isn't MacOS, nor it is Windows: it's Xubuntu. But the game should work on MacOS and Windows too, theoretically )
I have half sprite system finished. I hope I have a crawling player this night.
