I finished the upgrade process to Farseer 3.0 and now I am working on fixing and optimizing the mini map. Then I will be looking into lighting, more maps, weapons, monsters and other features. Suggestions are welcome.

ASCII Dungeon Shooter - beta 2
Size: Downloaded:88

Just a small updated to say beta 2 will be released sometime tomorrow. Its pretty much a brand new game with all the changes that have gone into, a much better game.

Almost ready for the beta 2 release. I have gotten the shotgun and rocket launcher done, gib system is done, explosions done and all maps from the first release are converted over. Just need to make the map select screen and some item pickups.

Here is a video of the new rocket launcher, shotgun and gib system. Enjoy the random music that got recorded.

I have made a lot of progress towards a beta 2 release. The rewrite is complete and now I am adding new features and getting all the maps converted to the new format. Some of the new features are two new weapons, a shotgun and rocket launcher, a gib system and a mini map of the dungeon so you don’t get lost. Now things gib when they die from explosive damage, its pretty cool. I’ll get some screens up soon.

Today I got a ton of work done on refactoring the code base in preparation for some major new things which are coming down the pipe. Some of the new things are going to be weapons, item pickups, monsters, level unlock, level select list, more levels and  I have also changed the scale to be bigger so it feels more like a dungeon.

Worked on Ascii Dungeon Shooter and added a rocket launcher and changed the way somethings work under the hood to make it easier to add new things.
