Heroic Fisticuffs!

Here's a place where I talk about games, applications, websites, and other things that I make for fun. Mostly roguelikes. And robots. Since my domain is hard to spell you probably came here on purpose.

Hardpointe ver0.2 is playable

The latest version of hardpointe (I'm called it v0.2) is available to play here.

It's a bit more polished than the first version, with a number of ease-of-play fixes and more varied enemies.

Change log:
  • Screen/font can now be enlarged/shrunk
  • Auto-pickup of items
  • 'Brogue-style' exits that you just walk into (this item and last item are meant to reduce over-reliance on the action key)
  • Removed redundant power install menu
  • No monsters in the starting room (whew)
  • Added fleeing enemies (Skirmisher)
  • Added shielded enemies (they will recharge if they escape): Skirmisher, Centurion
  • Added an EMP grenade that conveniently takes out shields
  • Fixed a bug with level changes caused by dropping through chasms (sometimes)
  • Added a final boss (sort of): The Archon. The only enemy in the game with more than 3 'health' (shields + hit points)
  • Made the asteroid 6 levels
  • Monster count & difficulty level scale better with increasing levels
  • Player starts with the Hack power (fairly OP but I have not done much balancing)

If you've played it, leave me a comment here, or on /r/roguelikedev. Enjoy.

Tank Control - A 2018 7DRL Success

My 2018 7DRL - Tank Control - was a success. You can play it on itch.io.

In TANK CONTROL you command a stolen Leopard 2A tank. Your enemies want it back.
Your mission is to navigate dangerous terrain and rescue as many civilians from the area as possible and deliver them to various checkpoints. 



You will utilize your overwhelming firepower against your adversaries, which are numerous. Combat uses classic turn-based roguelike mechanics, so positioning the direction of both your tank and your weapon will be critical.

7DRL Note: I did not build this entire game + engine in seven days! I am using first and foremost the amazing rot.js library (as per usual), and have forked the engine and other elements from  hardpointe.
