Nice concept! You've achieved a nice sense of dread for such a simple interface. It definitely has the feel of working a graveyard shift with spooky customers coming in. I couldn't always understand what I did wrong when I tried to give someone a room and the screen would go red, but pretty enjoyable overall!
@Pysosear Are there any settings in particular that are giving you trouble? I just tried downloading the .exe from scratch and doing a couple image saves myself without issue.
It's not an installable package but you're free to cannibalize the code if you want. I'm mainly using Charm's golang libraries to chunk the different ascii / unicode characters together. You can find the main processing code in the ascii.go, unicode.go, and custom.go files here (sorry for the lack of documentation): https://github.com/Zebbeni/ansizalizer/tree/main/app/process
Hmm, it works fine for me with font size 12, although the actual size varies between typefaces, so I'm curious which one you're using. Could it be that your default console defaults to use a non-monospaced font? It'll look pretty weird if so. I usually use Consolas or Cascadia Mono instead.
Great catch, thanks! I bet it's related to me converting the palette hex values to hsv space and back. I'll have to think about this for a sec but it's definitely worth a fix.
And thanks for the recommendation! Glad you like it :)
Ouch! I hadn't thought of that, thanks for the input. I will put more effort into that starting screen. And yes, the game itself is done, but I'm regularly adding updates. Eventually I'd like to add an AI so you can add computer players, but for now it's strictly multiplayer.
I have a multiplayer HTML + Node.js + Socket.io game server being hosted through Modulus. https://alien-empire-48927.onmodulus.net/ Since all the game files are already sourced there, is it okay for me to upload an HTML file to itch.io with just an iframe that points to that url?
