About Labyr2
Labyr2 development had begun during the summer of 2010. Its goal is to create a complex game engine with lots of uses for items, your skills, attributes, combat, and I hope I will be able to make some quest scripting. If you want to share some thoughts, go on to my page and send me an e-mail. All the feedback and new ideas are appreciated.
Current development
5.2.2011 - Still working on the long range weapons system, and as I do, it becomes more and more complex. I have made a covering and a target picking system, showing the chance that the projectile gets there without hitting anything else (like items, map pieces, or creatures). It uses the mouse and prints a line consisting of stars, that have varying colors (all the shades between green and red), representing that chance, and the chance is also printed out on the lower panel. Maybe I will even post a screenshot of it.
4.2.2011 - I had to work on something else for a few days, but now I have finally completed the close range combat system, in the next few days I will try to make the long range combat system, against items and map pieces. And then slowly "when I will have time", I will implement the creatures, some basic pseudo-AI, make an example world (big and interesting enough to show off the features), and push this project at least into an Alpha stage with a real and playable release, that will be entertaining enough to play it.
31.1.2011 - So this day will be the Combat day, I am going to work on the close combat system against anything that has HP (yes, even items and map pieces have it), later when some creatures will be added into the actual game. It will be a lot easier to implement them, if I will have a working combat system.
30.1.2011 - I am happy to announce, that the game engine was successfully tested both under Linux and Windows. And it works. At the current stage the player can run around on multiple maps, use pick up and drop items (to and from his inventory), equip and unequip items in the correct slots, can eat, drink, sleep, use healing places (portions of map that heal the characters standing on it), be damaged by damaging map pieces (like "camp fire"), can use items to create new items or modify a certain map piece (for example use 1 axe + 2 hands to cut down a tree using your woodworking skill would take you approximately 20 minutes of game time and cost you 3000 energy points, if your skill increases the used attributes also increase their XP accordingly to how much of them are used in the skill specified in the skills specifications which are in a text file for every world, etc.), the items are being worn as specified in the interaction, etc., etc.
The player/modder can edit almost anything, the only exceptions for now are the attributes and slots (I think I can make the slots editable, but the attributes list should stay hardcoded).
Phew, the only downside, why I prefer to call it a talkie-talk project is the fact, that the player is the only creature in the world so I will from now on focus on making the creatures and release something funny to play, that could be called "Beta state project". And then work on the quest making system, but thats too far away.
Hope to write here soon, Tommket
