#emanquest — Public Fediverse posts

Tutorial round and second round of battle, demonstrating the memory mechanics (and tutorial). You pick the right tiles, and use that number of "action points" to decide what to do.

After 9 months, I am humbled, thankful, excited, speechless, to announce #EmanQuest v1.0.0: a procedurally-generated mini-RPG with memory mechanics!

Get it now on Itch: (link: https://deengames.itch.io/eman-quest) deengames.itch.io/eman-quest for Windows/Linux!

We are thankful to our Creator for giving us the ability to finally finish!

Feedback/RTs welcome!

Implemented player feedback and made corridors in dungeons 2x wide. *All* of them. As a result, we no longer have doors.

I put a lot of effort into doors 😭 but accessibility/traversability is more important.

Redo of the crab monster (first is original which was shrunk and cleaned up from a picture; second is a fresh drawing).

New attack icon (spear) by a friend. It now matches the character's spear, and looks fantastic!

Preview of some dialog windows, which can't be moved off-screen, and have titlebars with a nice little title and an X button to close it. Much better than what I had before.

WIP of the (slightly modified) options and stats windows - now with a themed titlebar, but they're no longer movable (off-screen).

Just noticed a bit of blur in the save-game screenshots. Fixed (removed image filters). You can see the before (left-side) and after. If you zoom in to the girl's hands/feet, it becomes really obvious.

Started on the gargantuan task of adding SFX to every necessary location for #EmanQuest. Started with the mundane (but necessary) button-click. (Used some reflection to add it to all buttons automatically in the scene.)

#IndieDev #GameDev #GodotEngine #ScreenshotSaturday #2dRPG

Saves now show meta-data: the world number (unique game number), play time (minutes and seconds), and the player's level.

#EmanQuest #indiedev #gamedev #godotengine #procgen #rpg #2dgame

Final iteration of the tutorial arrow. Fixed the Z-ordering issue that someone noticed, and also shortened the sine wave so it doesn't move quite as much.

I think I'm done with this for now.

#EmanQuest #indiedev #gamedev #godotengine #procgen #rpg #2dgame

Based on your feedback, here's the revised tutorial arrow. What do you think? How can I improve it even more?

Not sure how much I like the mask - it really, really draws attention, but is it a bit too much?

#EmanQuest #indiedev #gamedev #GodotEngine #procgen #rpg #2dgame

Based on the feedback from a previous poll, treasure chests now block you. When you open them, they open; when you close the dialog, they disappear. Makes sense?

#EmanQuest #indiedev #gamedev #godotengine #procgen #2dgame #rpg

Fixed a bug where treasure chests generate too close to the entrance/exit of maps. Here, we see one chest appears directly at the entrance map of the desert dungeon.

Replaced that empty horrible overworld map with a shiny new area-selection screen, sort of inspired by Bastion (but not quite as nice - PCG is hard!)

Here's a demo of it working.

#EmanQuest #indiedev #gamedev #godotengine #2dgame #procgen #rpg

Second/final iteration of the area-select screen, incorporating feedback from @chemical_ink - yellow instead of blue, and less yellow stars. They stick out more, but IMO, they do look nicer overall.

#EmanQuest #indiedev #gamedev #GodotEngine #2dgame #rpg #gameart #pixelart

First cut of new area-select screen (replaces overworld) in #EmanQuest. Space background is quite neutral, drawing a nebula eluded me.

#indiedev #gamedev #GodotEngine #procgen #rpg #2dgame #pixelart #gameart

Dialog windows now render properly independent of game zoom. So you can actually read the next now when zoomed out!

#EmanQuest #indiedev #gamedev #godotengine #2dgame #procgen #rpg

Killing bosses now teleports you home for more cut-scene goodness.

#emanquest #indiedev #gamedev #godotengine #procgen #rpg #2dgame

Baba now talks when you walk into him. Except ... things don't work out quite as expected ... 😀

#emanquest #indiedev #gamedev #godotengine #procgen #rpg #bugs

Ended up writing cut-scenes instead of hints about the next dungeon. Also fixed a critical bug (Mama isn't home after you save her!)

Now that it's sorted out, here's the first extra "cutscene" dialog (after the bandit leaves).

Knocked off a couple of small #accessibility changes for #EmanQuest: options now persist, both when you reopen the window (visually) and across all game sessions.

TODO: add more accessibility options.

Final iteration. The bright scheme looked horrible in-game, even with black text. I like this one a lot. Purple looked good too, but had too much of a creepy/corruption feel.

Experimental background for #emanquest based on regular geometric tessellations. (Tessellations are used often in Islamic art, from what I can tell.)

What do you think? Good, ok, or poor?

Trying to fix a #bug where you can walk off the edge of maps without going back to the overworld. It has some unintended side-effects. 🤔🧐

#emanquest #indiedev #gamedev #godotengine #procgen #rpg

Fixed a bug where the player faces down (default direction) instead of up (intended) after defeating the final boss. Had to force Godot to render the frame for 0.01s. Works though.

Nothing really new for #screenshotsaturday - getting back into the groove of working on #EmanQuest! Here's the setup for the final battle, with the new character sprite.
