I started late Saturday afternoon, got to this point by Sunday. I feel pretty good so far! (The basic engine I already had but I ripped out a lot of the guts)
What is RoboCaptain? The short version:
A tactical shooting-based roguelike with a powerful systems-management sub-game ala the old LucasArts X-Wing/TIE Fighter games.
I like my roguelikes to look like roguelikes so expect mostly-traditional look & feel; nothing crazy except for the power mechanic.
As for why there are monkies...

Damn. Game is looking really good already. I have been procrastinating and have not even started my 7DRL.
ReplyDeleteWell.. still 5 or 6 to go, depending on when you started. That's plenty of time. :)
ReplyDeleteI gutted an old game I had lying around as an engine, which helps a lot. (Unfortunately ended up pulling out more than I wanted but much better than starting from scratch.)
