Just the intro screen for now, but it's a nice one if I may say so myself.

Rendering the floor, walls, and most importantly, the @ in my Racket Roguelike! Next up, enemies...or map generation?

Finally things are sort of drawing.

A little demo of a progress I made so far with the jam game:

Gonna be a puzzle with balls. More details later :D

I've got shot emitters working. :)
Thanks to trivial-gamekit for the easy drawing routines.
It will be a reduction of the danmaku genre.

Today, I accomplished a lot!

• Enemies now move in a random directions. When they're close enough to you, they'll attack!
• If you move into the same square as an enemy, you'll attack them.
• If you die, you lose! 
• If you kill all of the enemies, you win!

Recently (today) I finished  the important feature - check the field to be complitly passed. In case when you do not know the field, it is glad to trust that you can not put youself in exitless part of a chart. Thow I can use any Java classes and data structures (i.e. HashMaps or any other - my custom Lisp language interpreter hosted on Java) , I write this game only use native data structures - lists I mean :) In some cases it was uneffective, but much more authentic :)

First light image from Castle Monsterous...

Using Racket out of the box. This is... going to be a strange game.

The guy's legs and knife aren't actually ghosting out, I just haven't finished the artwork. Although that could be cool too...

So, update on Castle Monsterous... Filling out graphics and adding a different monster type. mob-hero-brunette is now fully dressed.

Basic map showing up. Also a new monster...

Master Bawl and Dynamic camera

After hitting a road block, I took the backseat for a few days and studied this excellent guide on how to build roguelikes in racket https://blog.jverkamp.com/2013/04/04/racket-roguelike-1-a-gui-screens-i/o-and-yo.... I completely gutted the rendering portion of the tutorial code, but kept a large majority of the procedural map generation, prototypes for tiles & entity structures. in my remaining days of the jam, I'd like to give the game an overall look & feel, as well as some clear and cut win/lose conditions. Here's a GIF of exploring the infinite surface of simplex noise

Got most of my engine done; most of what remains is prose writing and level design.

Really happy with how it's coming together so far!

I little gif of my progress. I can select units, move them and upgrade them by spending coins!

I could have achieved that quickly with an engine, but it wouldn't be fun, so my game is written directly in web assembly x)
I'm really proud of what I have so far, considering I started with zeros and ones to represent pixels...

Next step: AI for the opponent's moves

Got keyboard event handling going, first stab at the arena combat state machine and coloured health bars.

Oh, and drinking wine ups your health...

 Better map treatment, nicer dungeon walls. Now has animation system, with actual animations for idle and attack (so far). Using a simple per-mob state-machine and counter to handle that.

Oh, also tags characters with their names. Very important feature, that...

Conversation system now working! Handles colours per character and such...

Of course, I broke the map display for when you go in a new room, but omelettes, eggs and so forth...
