Heroes of Loot

[orangepascal]

I just released my first ever desktop game: Heroes of Loot.

It's a very action-oriented rogue-like, with a lot of looting, shooting, shopping, leveling and more.
This release is part of the OneGameAMonth.com jam and is my (http://www.onegameamonth.com/orangepascal) March entry.  The game is fully playable, but a lot more content will be added for an official release in a couple of weeks.

The desktop version was made possible thanks to LibGDX!

It looks good. Unfortunately as citizen of a developing country of Asia I can't pay even one cent.

@kappa:

@kappa:

The game is highly polished in pretty much all the area's in the scoring system, uses a rather stable framework/library (libgdx), didn't find anything worth criticising or think that adding a score out of 10 would assist much in helping improve the game. Besides users can always add their own comments and reviews (even a score).

[kevglass]

Ok, I give Kappa a 7/10.

The game is awesome.

Cheers,

Kev

That was fun, very slick indeed.

I've been playing a lot of Gauntlet lately so was a bit shocked when the ghosts kept popping up out of nowhere rather than spewing forth from generators. It seemed a bit unfair.

How about mine? I use libgdx too

Topic:
Yeah as known, there is audio mute bugs. I tried to reproduce (don't worry I like to play it repeatedly ) but nothing common unless, it happened when you enter other dungeon level or shop.

I can't run the game. It shuts with this error.

I actually had the gauntlet spawn-boxes in the game first, but it was too boring for my liking   Changing it to "Randomly" spawning everywhere changed the game to a more action focused thing, which I was aiming for.

Quick fix for NPOT images: pack them into a power-of-two Pixmap (either manually or with PixmapPacker) or use the power-of-two option in your Texture Packer tool. You should not rely on all users to support non-power-of-two textures, even if they support GL 2+.

Nice game.

The game is alright and fun depending on the strategy you take. It was kind of weird to me that the different avatars didn't create different play styles, but that is just nit-picking. The game is pretty decent.

I found one major bug that interferes with game play though. You can go through locked shop doors which will take you to a small room on the other side of the door. When you try to escape, then you'll be taken to the shop window and able to buy the potion item. Afterward, when you leave the shop, you'll be locked in a small room behind the shop door with no escape. I did it by accident the first time, but then I managed to do it with each character avatar.

Other than that, it is very cute, like-able, and fun to play.

I got to level 11, but then a opening/closing wall crushed me.
Most of the time I just ran through the level, spamming attack if things got harry.
It is very fun, good job.

the small rooms are actually secret area's   the fact that they sometimes spawn at the same location as shops (or even exits) is a bug that is being fixed

Got to level 21. Nice game
The lighting is pretty intresting

I want to play this game! How can I get OpenGL 2.0 drivers? I have only directx ones in the given CD.

I'm not knowing which to download at the download page.

The OS is Windows 7 32 bit.

Thanks.

[Phased]

OpenGL is GPU based, your graphics card has to support it.

[orangepascal]

Yeah it's not driver based, so don't screw up your computer trying to fix things

I'll look at fixing things on the game end, it should be possible to have the game run in opengl1 which is more widely supported...  but it will take time!

[SHC]

I think my card has support for it since I have no problem running graphic apps which uses directx 11.

It doesn't run on my mac but I played it on a windows machine. It's really promising as a starter. its not a seriously commercial game so I wich you had released it as an open source software so newbies like me could' benefit from your efforts. Having the code released as open source I guess you still could ask for donations as well. That way people would be more tempted to donate since they'd also benefited from you code.

the game is actually still being worked on and will be a "serious commercial" game Quests are now added to the new version, and a better progression is being added.

This release was also to check the Java gaming waters as I have no experience with it or pc/mac game releasing at all. There are a couple of bugs with resolution and opengl, but mostly it's been a good experience and I plan to bring more games and release the full Heroes of Loot once it's done.

[orangepascal]

Now adding Quests to the latest version, they start simple and include any tutorial-stuff masked as quests.. which I thought was pretty smart

That 'Q' still looks like an 'R'.  Can't say I envy the task of trying to make a 3x5 font though

not a lot of room to make it work   I managed to avoid using the Q mostly tho, so that helps!
