  • zohairzzd the source hasn't been released yet.

    Just messing around with a 3d modelling program using Dungeon Buster assets:

  • Made a title screen:

  • Thanks!

    Title screen!

  • We've invited several people on board to help test Dungeon Buster, which is going remarkably well considering the hiatus the project underwent at the start of 2015. About that; a lot of things came to a head in late December and I took a step back to re-evaluate both my life and my goals. I had to take a break to concentrate on other more important things but we're back in action now.

    Bossfights. Damn are they a pain in the ass to script and choreograph. I split battles into 'attack phases' to make them more manageable in terms of coding. Let's take the boss fight with Finna (the ghost of a knight that has been possessed by an ethereal parasite). The battle with her happens across two larger separate scenarios; battling Finna herself, and battling the parasite. Each larger phase then has at least two phases within it; Finna attacking with a melee attack, and then switching to a ranged bullet-hell type attack pattern, etc.

    That's not to say they aren't fun to create though, I love being able to bend these mighty monsters to my bidding bahahaha! And it's also fun from a technical perspective, and even more hilarious when they don't behave properly.

    The pair above are Tun & Fae, a duet you'll face in the caves deep beneath the Lonely Tower in Mistmire swamp. As I said, coding their fight is proving one Hell of a challenge but I'm loving every minute of it.

    On the topic of shopkeepers, you're gonna be seeing a lot of Aliss (pictured below). She comes from a long lineage of shopkeepers, and has many very similar looking relatives scattered across Jorokiim. In saying that though, they all have their own distinct personalities, and one of them even has a secret underground market.

    So there you have it, more lovely pictures of progress!

    Any comments, ask them below!

  • Something weird:

  • Heh you're very welcome, if you'd be interested in helping us test the game please let me know (it might be a good way to see the engine running for yourself!) Shoot me a PM if you're interested.

  • I was initially going to agree about the controls but after a minute or so of moving around in the game I got used to the controls and didn't find them awkward at all. Nice work on the Z-sorting too, I didn't come across any bugs with it.

  • Still grinding away on dungeons.

  • Well folks, it's been absolutely ages since the last update. Life got in the way of things but we're still working on Dungeon Buster.

    We need a few dedicated people to help us test Dungeon Buster, so that we can make it as good as it can possibly be. Keep in mind that we only need a few people at the moment, so it's first come first serve.

    If you're interested, please PM me!

  • gillenew thanks friend! Your stuff is looking great as always, I especially like the minimap you've created!

  • Working on story things today!

  • Sandybee Savvy001 Thank you both!

    Work is still grinding onwards for Dungeon Buster. The latest piece of work to tackle is implementing cutscenes and story features, which will make the first part of 2015 very interesting indeed!

    Thanks to everyone for your support so far; it's been a long road to get Dungeon Buster created, but it's getting there!

  • It's always a treat to come to this thread and see everyone's work!

    I'm working on some story and ambience stuff for Dungeon Buster at the moment:

  • Two boss characters, Tun & Fae:

  • yaomon17 We're aiming to build it with Node Webkit and then package it in an installer using the likes of NSIS or something similar.
