Sherwood (7-day Roguelike challenge)

[Radiant]

Every year, there is an open challenge to write a roguelike in just one week, called the 7DRL. For more details, check https://itch.io/jam/7drl-challenge-2024

I'd been thinking of joining the 7DRL some years ago, And as luck would have it, I randomly checked the site a couple weeks ago and realized it was pretty near in the future. So I wrote down some design notes, and today I opened up my editor and started on the code and on importing graphics. The aim is to real-time and stealth-based gameplay as you sneak your way through Sherwood forest.

Day one. Basic movement, line of sight and fog of war. Tiles courtesy of OpenGameArt.org.

All the best with development! I love making AGS do non-AG stuff. 7 days is a really tight deadline though!

I remember hearing about the 7DRL ages ago. I didn't realize it was a yearly event. I just thought it was a challenge people did of their own accord.

Good luck!

Thanks! Well yeah, but the AGS forums does one-hour game designs sometimes...

Good luck! 

Thanks as well! Yeah, it's like NaNoWriMo; you can "win" simply by completing the challenge.

Day three. Defined several room types and constructed an overworld connecting a series of rooms with branched paths.

Well, ok. I had less free time in the week that I hoped, so this is an incomplete entry (the competition suggests to submit unfinished projects anyway). Best of luck to everybody who's still coding in the weekend!
