#7drl — Public Fediverse posts

So, I guess I accidentally started making another #7DRL.
#playdate #pulp #roguelike

Path of Rogue seemed a simple #PathOfExile knockoff using the tried-and-true 3x3 #Rogue level generation, but with a complex skill graph (it's not a tree) (I don't know the original).

Next was Nonogueram, which is exactly what it says on the tin. You choose a path through a random graph of difficulties, item shops and healing stops. The hard puzzles were pretty hard in the beginning, but were starting to solve themselves soon with the items.

I wish you could drag the screen.

Clockwork Depths is a first-person #steampunk #DungeonCrawler. The first floor was a tutorial, the second introduced traps, the third floor was filled with conveyors, the fourth with (unfortunately stuttery) timed vents, the fifth with those combined (in an annoyingly loopy layout), the sixth was a maze.
You can only move forward and backward, but turning does not take time, and enemies could attack diagonally. Judging where the gridlines went was a little tricky. I died on the final floor.

First was Ping Bat, chosen for the concept, but being real-time it was pretty stressful. I survived 4 nights. The glowing graphic style and ping sounds were pretty cool.

I'm playing the Seven Day Roguelike Challenge submissions! See my list (yeah, I marked half of all entries to be played): https://itch.io/c/7119559/7drl-2026

I took the time to throw my #7DRL on GitHub. It's under the MIT license, so make use of it however you wish.

Another #7DRL finished: https://braininabowl.itch.io/corridor-fight-scene

Just released my 22nd #7DRL! In "Berlin Interpretation 1992" you participate via email in a tournament of #roguelike variants, but something weird is going on. Check it out online at https://slash.itch.io/berlin-interpretation-92

Featuring crazy dynamic dungeon Crawling code by
CamiloDelCodigo, PC Speaker Sound Effects by QuiteGecko and "chiptune" music by Dinti, using @oryxeleven 1bit dungeon tileset and my own UniGem @unity UI library for retro windowing.

#7DRL end of day 7 (final day!)

- added meal deals
- player can die
- were-rabbit enemy that is outed by scroll of loud noise
- mimic enemies that are only detected when you're close, as a jump scare
- rock enemies with extremely high DEF but low HP, so get outed my damage scrolls
- acid slime enemy that corrodes your equipped gear

...and that's it ready for submission!

expect a link shortly

Took part in #7DRL this year, but hugely overscoped, so I didn't manage to complete my entry, which is unfortunate

However, it's been interesting to work on, as I develop my roguelike engine further. If I can keep the momentum going, I'll try to get my entry to a more finished state.

I've submitted my #7DRL entry: https://sportzer.itch.io/unremembered-vault

I don't generally use pre-existing tilesets, but 32rogues by @seth happened to work really well for this

#7DRL end of day 6

- spawn tables for items/monsters
- enemies can wander, with non-aggro'd enemies swap between idle and wandering
- enemies can be slow, acting every other turn
- enemies can be fast, acting twice per turn
- enemies can lower your strength, which can be restored with antidote potions

my face lit up when I saw enemies wandering for the first time, really felt like everything has come together

7DRL 2026, den 7: hotovo.

Letos nejsem s výsledkem spokojen. Hra je celkově divná, super-komplikovaná, málo zábavná. Ale funguje, dá se hrát, vyhrát, prohrát.

Kdo má odvahu, může to ověřit sám: https://ondras.github.io/great-train-robbery/

@maia Making an actual game is overrated, adding unnecessary but fun cosmetic flourishes is what #7DRL is all about.

#7DRL end of day 5

- enemies now path towards and attack the player when aggro'd

- scrolls that affect everything in LOS

7DRL 2026, den 6: ovládání klávesnicí téměř hotovo. #7drl

Writing enemy AI routines is hard, You know?

As I work on this #7drl project, I'm amazed by all the magic #PaperJS can do, but also kinda horrified by how hard some little things are. It's breaking my brain in a good way.

Very glad we decided to go with a "from-scratch" turn system so far though, since it's one less thing to learn.

In case you're wondering why I haven't posted about my #Playdate games or #tic80 raycaster in a while: I've caught the #7drl bug again and I've been steadily working on my JavaScript Roguelike engine to use in the challenge. It'll probably be inferior to #rotjs in every way, with one big difference: I'll understand how it works and how to use it.

It's not a very visual thing, so no screenshots or updates so far.

#roguelike #gamedev #indiedev https://itch.io/jam/7drl-challenge-2024

I'm doing some prep for the #7drl and while it's incredibly unlikely to become a game, I'm playing with #rotjs and am re-learning both #typescript and the joys of async scheduling in #javascript world. #GameDev

The 11th game of #WebGamesAdvent is RATS - #RoguesAmongTheStars. It has a fun concept - play a thief that teleports between #fantasy spaceships - but the implementation didn't get far beyond just a clone of #RuneStar due to the time limitation of #7DRL.

Well, #procgen is still meh (that's supposed to be a city, I was trying to avoid BSP), but the #pheromone thing works really well now (mouse cursor not shown). Even if I can't enter #7DRL because Life I might keep working on this on my spare time...

I'm slowly making my way through this year's #7drl submissions, and I'm really enjoying sunil's 'Magpie' a lot. The strategic positioning mechanic makes me come back to it again and again, and I love the fact that this game has no weapons. Well done!
