Right, let me explain a bit what ggRogue is all about. First off, for the past few weeks, I had been learning more and working with AJAX for a web-based project and became very interested with the possibilities that it was offering. Second, I'm a regular user of iGoogle and also wanted to learn a bit on how the gadgets work. Finally, I wanted a game that I could always play in iGoogle during a quick break or when I'm waiting for someone. Finally, I wanted to have a game that I could easily build without worrying too much about graphics. And thus, ggRogue was born.

For the record, the project started out to be played in Google Gadgets, because the developer seriously wanted to have a roguelike that he can quickly pick up and play. However, ggRogue can be adapted in the future for different online gadgets.

Progress has been going pretty well. Most of the important features that I need are implemented, and I'm currently focusing on a simple dungeon-generating algorithm.

Just had a quick break in-between work, so I quickly implemented the necessary code to spawn items. With that, the dungeon generation algorithm is actually quietly finished for now. The monster/item lists just need to be filled with the proper challenge/loot. I'll likely do some brainstorming during lunch hour, and start working on the death system in the mean time.

Just finished implementing the code for using stairs. When entering a new, unexplored level, a new level is built. And yes, you can also go back upstairs. Everything that you left in there(items, monsters) is stored. Next stop is adding rooms, monsters and items to the level creation algorithm

Description

ggRogue is a browser roguelike, focused on delivering a fairly cliche, but enjoyable dungeons Hack and Slash that can be played on the go and during quick breaks. It is completely web-based, everything is controlled via the mouse. You login, create a character and are immediately dropped in a dungeon, ready to face the danger within. Your savegame is updated continually. If you log out and come back at a later time, your savegame will be right where you left off.

Development

Right, let me explain a bit what ggRogue is all about. First off, for the past few weeks, I had been learning more and working with AJAX for a web-based project and became very interested with the possibilities that it was offering. Second, I'm a regular user of iGoogle and also wanted to learn a bit on how the gadgets work. Third, I wanted a game that I could always play in iGoogle during a quick break or when I'm waiting for someone. I had been looking for one, but couldn't find one, so I decided that it'd be best if I would build it myself. Finally, I wanted to have a game that I could easily build without worrying too much about graphics. And thus, ggRogue was born.

Updates

20-10-2009

Just a small update. Been doing some work on getting the walking part just right, and now have a working prototype to implement in the game. It's far from what I want in the end, but it's a good start. Hopefully, I can upload a new version within a week.

04-10-2009

Received some nice feedback so far, cheers for some of the responses. Next two features that I'd like to implemnt is resting(pretty minor option), as well as actually letting the player move the @ around on the tiles(major feature).

30-09-2009 (Version 0.0.2a update)

Tried to lower the difficulty as much as possible to the point that it may even be too easy now, if you upgrade your character well enough. Currently considering adding a simple instructions screen at the start, as well as allowing everyone to make use of some of the debug features that I'm using, like instant health and such.

Progress has been going pretty well. Most of the important features that I need are implemented, and I'm currently focusing on a simple dungeon-generating algorithm. Once I've got that done, the focus will shift on completing some needed features, and I'll likely go into a playable Alpha. Most of the stuff in there will likely evolve, like the character system and combat system.
