Project BLOODLUST by aFrostHound A short hack n' slash movement prototype. A movement slasher, if you will.

Here's the itch page for the game itself if you wanna play it. It's free!

Don't know if there's a phrase for this particular style of game, but "technical platformer" is what I like.

Basically a third or first person platformer that has a lot of depth in it's movement abilities. Pseudoregalia and Neon White are the examples that come to mind.

Glad you got it working! FYI there was a bug with the grappling hook, just pushed a new build to the itch page like 10 minutes ago. If you downloaded it then and now you should be good, otherwise you'll be going a lot faster than intended in the air lol

Was told by a friend of mine that it worked pretty well on Linux. Hopefully it works for you too!

In an effort to get better at marketing I spent this month prototyping a first person platformer AND a whole devlog video to go with it.

Check it out!

Make it so there's a chance the vomit covers their vision and they have to stumble around blind for a bit afterwards

I think all games should have challenges where the reward is a picture of the dev's dog

Also if you tab out the lines break lmao

This system knows where the middle of the map is and can distribute different types of nodes accordingly.

An example being minibosses ALWAYS spawn in the middle, camp sites are ALWAYS more likely to spawn near the end before the final boss, ect...

More than 1 week later, I now have a very nice feeling node map generator for my roguelike game!

Also the lines wiggle now lol

I can now divide the map into 1/5ths, which means I have greater control over the RNG difficulty curve. For example, I know nodes marked as "3" are in the middle of the map, so I can make them have a higher spawn rate for mini bosses.

Attempt #3 at a roguelike node map, now I can draw dotted lines between nodes as well as track where the player is at AND can go in real time!

A continuation of yesterdays roguelike node map attempt.

On top of generation improvements, I can also now determine where you're at on the map (Blue) and where you're allowed to go (Green)!

Attempt number 2 at a roguelike node map is actually coming together pretty good

Chalking today's attempt at making a procedural roguelike node map to a failure. At least the end result looks cool when you ask it to generate a new map every half second lol

I have a new idea on how to tackle this, will update when I figure it out.
