Overview
I know that "what makes a Rogue-like" is a topic of some debate, and I wanted to explore it for myself, by starting with a thoroughly un-Rogue-like game idea - an arcade-style space shooter - and making it as Rogue-like as possible.
In Mysterious Space, originally made for 7DRL 2014, you're tasked with delving deep into Sector ZZ-Omega-9 to recover an important piece of information, and to return with that information in one piece.
To get there, you'll have to stop at planets along the way to find much-needed fuel.
Arm yourself with procedurally-generated weapons, armors, and shields to defeat the enemies that stand in your way.
Features
- Procedurally-generated planets, with tunnels and caves (feels Terraria-ish to me)
- "Alien Artifacts", analogous to potions: does the Red Alien Artifact repair armor, this game? Or will it scramble your sensors for 10 seconds? Only one way to find out...
- A variety of enemies, each with unique movement patterns and ways to kill you
- Procedurally-generated weapons, shields, and armor to equip yourself with
- Upgrade Parts, which you can collect and use to further customize your ship
- Procedurally-generated back-story for your ship
- Secret logs that reveal the lore of the world (galaxy? universe?)
- Support for xbox-like gamepads, arrow key, and wasd
Plans for the Future
- More enemies
- More crazy weapons, shields, and armors
- Internationalization (I'm currently working on a French language option)
- More things to find and do on planets
- Unlockable ships (a la FTL)
"Maybe"-things
- Local co-op
Websites
- itch.io page
- My YouTube channel where I post development update videos
