My pet project called Descension. My goal is to create a typical graphical roguelike using a mouse driven interface. It is in a very early alpha stage of development. Check out the website at descensionthegame.com for more information, screenshots and download links. Leave any questions/comments at the Descension Forum.

v 0.1.0 - Released 2/20/2011

• began to implement particle effects - i got the basic particle system in place, its going to require a bunch more work on my part to get everything working, there are no actual effects in game yet
• implemented projectiles for ranged weapons, including wands, havent yet added projectiles for spells
• made first major balance pass - adjusted item data, spell data and enchant data, will continue to tweak stats over the next several versions
• added monsters up to level 10 and made first attempt to balance them, you can continue past character level 10, but only up to level 10 monsters will spawn
• began to implement abilities - added a ability for each weapon type which is automatically obtained when you reach skill level 4, also added 3 test abilities which are obtained based on the players race (undead, demonic and wings). Non-passive abilities can be added to the action bar and used just like spells
• implemented the ability to add items to action bar - you can drag any item to either ability bar and "use" just like spells/abilities. Note: the way its currently implemented makes it only really useful for potions and food, although you can use/equip weapons/armor, the action bar doesnt yet "remember" the item and so will become empty after use.
• changed - right click on a action button to use it instead of left click as this was interfering with the drag and drop mechanic, this is just a temporary measure until i figure out how to fix the issue
• added a use last character button to character creator
• added multiple moves for player/monsters - player moves = speed / 50 + 1, monsters have preset number of moves
• fixed map border issue
